Agenda Item # II. D.
CU22-40.4.doc 3
o Parking garage – headlight screening shall be placed from the spandrel
panels up on levels two and three facing all residential properties,
o Lighting – all ground level lights on the southwest side of the building
shall be shielded for glare, and
o Glass Cactus restaurant – immediately provide screening plans to be
placed at the wrought iron fence west of the portico and Gaylord Texan
officials shall provide a sound attenuation plan to the SPRC within 90
days of the approval of CU08-01.
• On August 27, 2008, the SPRC reviewed and approved CU08-01 (Ord. 2008-12) to
ensure the specific conditions which City Council approved on March 25, 2008 had
been met relative to the reduction of noise emanating from the Glass Cactus
restaurant.
o The noise reduction plan centered on providing wing walls and vestibules on
key doorways leading onto the main and upper balconies. Specifically, a
wing wall was proposed on the main balcony and upper balcony at the
northwest corners – both of these walls deflecting sound northward as it
escapes from the interior of the Glass Cactus. In addition to the wing walls,
an exterior vestibule onto the main balcony on the west side (the side that
faces the neighborhood) will be created to keep noise from escaping from
the dance floor area. A second interior vestibule is proposed along the west
side near the band/stage area. On the upper balcony, doorway exits onto
the west side of the balcony will be converted to emergency access only.
o A letter from the sound consultants who measured the noise from the Glass
Cactus on Saturday, March 1, 2008 between the hours of 8:00 p.m. to 12:00
a.m. determined that although there was on a periodic basis noise that could
be heard coming from the Glass Cactus, it did not exceed the standards
established in the City’s Performance Standards relative to noise.

speakers in conjunction with a firework viewing area on the 5th floor of the existing

22, 2009 through September 4, 2009.
