Other than it being ~500'AGL instead of ~2,000', that does sound like the "low noise" take-off the B737, & B727 I flew in (as passenger) out of John Wayne Int'l (Orange County, CA) in 1985 & 86.
A max-power max climb-rate take-off followed by a leveling-off and major power reduction as the aircraft passed over a large housing development.
And since the same profile was flown both times I flew out from there (Republic and Western), it was intentional.
