An оpen-аir аmphitheаter in a city park has been utilized fоr cоncerts and other entertainment programs. Until this year, each of the groups performing in that city facility was allowed to make its own arrangements for sound equipment and sound technicians.After recurring complaints from occupants of residential buildings adjacent to the city park about intrusive noise from some performances held in the amphitheater, the city council passed an ordinance establishing city control over all sound amplification at all programs held there. The ordinance provides that the city department of parks is the sole provider in the amphitheater of sound amplification equipment and technicians to operate the equipment “to ensure a proper balance between the quality of sound at such performances and respect for the privacy of nearby residential neighbors.”Which of the following standards should a court use to determine the constitutionality on its face of this content-neutral ordinance?
