The City on receipt of an application for a special event permit shall review the application for conformance to the requirements of this chapter and any other relevant Federal, State and local laws and may deny an application for which the information and other material required are incomplete or not acceptable.

The City in its sole discretion may impose conditions on the permit to ensure compliance with relevant law and ensure public access to the right-of-way or City property or adjacent areas, to ensure the availability of emergency response services to the event, to alleviate the nuisance effects of sound and light generated by the event, and to generally protect the public health, safety and welfare.

The City may charge a fee for its review of the application and for issuance of a permit for the event intended to recover the City’s costs related to the application and the event itself. Those costs may include but are not limited to the amount of staff time to review the application and the costs of any City-provided traffic control, emergency response, restrooms, waste disposal, set-up and similar support services. The City also may charge the applicant the reasonable rental value of the City property. [BC 7.05.030, added by Ordinance No. 4588, 7/18/12; amended by Ordinance No. 4713, 6/13/17]
