authorized for an exclusive use of outdoor loudspeakers, a combination
of loudspeakers and hand held paging may be authorized upon review of
the system by the City of Tustin.
In the event that loudspeakers must be used, a dealer's lot shall be
covered by multiple zones so that enunciation through a loudspeaker
occurs on a controlled area of the. parcel rather than across the entire
lot.
Should a dealer choose to use some outdoor loudspeakers, the use of
this system is limited to operation between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Should a dealer wish to either
expand these hours or days of use, approval of the Planning Commission
must be obtained. In no event Shall any use of outdoor speakers be
authorized for operation on Sundays or holidays.
All loudspeakers shall be mounted at a 75 degree angle facing the
ground to avoid voice travel. All loudspeakers mounted on perimeter
walls shall be located at least two {2) feet below the top of the wall.
All loudspeakers shall be directed toward the interior of each lot.
Each speaker layout system shall be subject to review and approval by
the Community Development Department.

buildings rather than on the outside of the structure.

prevent "bouncing" of sound off a nearby building.

75 dB(A) with an overall courtyard sound level of 72dB(A).

authorized by these permit(s), sound readings shall be taken of that
dealership's loudspeaker impacts on adjacent land uses, and the speaker
volumes shall be adjusted so that they do not exceed the in, acts
stipulated below. Further, the speaker installer or sound engineer
shall advise the City in writing that the loudspeaker volume adjustment
has been mechanically or electrically locked off at 75 dB(A) or lower,
