Christiansburg Town Council is expected to vote on changes to its noise ordinance, which could affect the Starlite Drive-in. The proposed ordinance changes how loud noise coming from a specific property can be and at what times. It also allows businesses to apply for a conditional use permit if it thinks it will regularly violate the ordinance. The drive-in opened last week for its 65th season. The owner has made some changes this year. Sound will not play through speaker during the second movie, only through car radios. Only one move will play on Sundays.
