Purpose

(a)

The purpose and intent of this chapter is to identify when and where a special event permit is required within the city that affects public parks and/or public rights-of-way and to establish uniform standards for review and approval of special events. These standards are designed to protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of persons within the city and to provide uniform requirements for the review and approval of special event permits. This chapter does not include the standards for regulation of special events held entirely on private property and that are regulated by Chapter 27, Zoning, of the City of Tampa Code of Ordinances; provided, however, if an aspect of the event, such as valet parking, forms a component of the event then additional Code provisions may apply. These standards are intended to provide for the regulation and enforcement of this chapter.
