It must mean this I think.

Norika, I really do find it offensive when non-native English speakers try and lecture me on English. Especially when their references are rubbish.
Your reference gives this

revoke something (formal)
to officially cancel something so that it is no longer valid
http://www.oxfordadvancedlearnersdictionary.com/dictionary/r...

This is not a 'law' but a mayoral decree.

Here is another definition of revoke, from
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/revoke

revoke v. to annul or cancel an act, particularly a statement, document, or promise, as if it no longer existed. Thus, a person can revoke a will or revoke an offer to enter into a contract, and government agency can revoke a license. (See: revocation)
Note from asker:
Yes, this is exactly what I thought the meaning was - that they had partially relaxed the decree prohibiting this place from playing music (because they'd been too noisy or had complaints) because they've implemented measures to control the noise. So now they can reopen. I can't quite remember what was used in the end, but when I find it I'll post it and pass you the points. Thanks again.

Thanks AT.
disagree Norika1410 : FVS: You are rude and disrespectful! Being a lawyer doesn't make you perfect in a language!!! I am sure your Spanish is worse than mine!!! I can be born in Somalia and still be native in English!!!! It doesn't have to do with the place I come from!!!

I'm sorry but this is not a helpful answer. I'm not sure why you have answered if you really don't know what the question is about. Please do explain what you mean if you can, but I'm not sure you have really read the question... :/

has (agreed on / come to terms with) the decree's partial record, which ...

"parcial" indica que es una parte del decreto y no el decreto completo....

"archivo: m
1(documento) file, record
2 (nacional) archives"

acordar, concertar, llegar a un acuerdo => agree on
Note from asker:
I'm sorry but I don't understand what a "decree's partial record" would be or how you would come to terms with it!
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : what on earth is a "decree's partial record"? and how can one come to terms with such an entity??? I am confused
6 hrs
AllegroTrans: I appreciate your participation, here. How would you translate this???
disagree FVS (X) : acordar here means order or resolve - nothing to do with agree. And the decree's partial record is a nonsense in English. And if you don't know what archivar means then look it up.// I find it difficult to believe you are a native Spanish speaker.
16 hrs
FVS: You are disrespectful and very rude!!! People like you should not be allowed in this forum! Why should I look up the word "archivar"??? I haven`t used it!!! I have just correctly translated the word "archivo" to "file or record". So, what the hell is
