Council removes the decibel limit on Tantra’s Conditional Use permit

Strolling through Hopkins in the afternoon is likely to be a pleasant experience filled with people watching and live music wafting through the air. The possibility of the music being silenced weighed heavily on the community’s minds as many — three hours worth of public comment — came to the San Marcos City Council meeting to ensure that the decibel limit on Tantra’s Conditional Use permit would be removed. And Tantra’s well-wishers were successful in their quest as the council voted unanimously to restore the venue’s original CUP without the decibel limit at Tuesday’s regularly scheduled meeting.
