(Ord. 2-2013 § 1, 1-15-13; Ord. 01-2022 § 2, 3-1-22. 1990 Code § 3-7103.)

(6) The special event will unreasonably interfere with fire or police protection, including presenting a substantial traffic or safety hazard;
(7) Event sizes or durations will require diversion of so great an amount of city safety services, it would divert an undue amount of resources from other city needs, particularly of safety services to other areas of the city;
(8) The security arrangements that have been made are inadequate;
(9) One or more of the applicants or persons whose name is shown on the application was also named on an application for a special event that resulted in a violation of this chapter or similar law in another jurisdiction within the 12 months preceding the current application;
(10) The special event is deemed to have adverse impacts to a residential area;
(11) If the special event is proposed to be held on public property, the proposed special event would conflict with a previously scheduled and planned event or activity organized by the city for the same time and place as the proposed special event; however the event may be approved to allow established or recurring events that were previously held successfully in the city or to events that may have significant beneficial economic, public health, safety, or other impacts to the city;

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this chapter, should the city manager determine that prior special events organized, sponsored or conducted by the applicant or persons whose name is shown on the application have resulted in damages to property, unpaid debts or late payments, complaints from a substantial number of area residents or businesses about the impact of prior events, or unreasonable risks to public safety, the city manager may require, as a condition of approval, that the applicant engage a professional event organizer to organize the special event.
(d) Nothing herein authorizes the denial of a special event permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others, if reasonable permit conditions can be imposed to allow adequate protection with the number of police officers available to police the special event.
(e) If the permit is denied, or approved with conditions, the written notice shall set forth reasons explaining the denial or the imposition of conditions.
(f) If a permit is denied pursuant to the criteria set forth in this chapter because the proposed time or assembly and dispersal sites are unacceptable, the denial shall contain a statement of alternative acceptable times and sites.
