Application determination

(a)

Decisions of the city manager, or designee, regarding special event permits shall be amended by reports received on the referrals as provided in section 52-4. Approvals of special event permits for special events by the city manager, or designee, shall be based on the criteria utilized by the different departments or other governmental agencies upon which referrals were made. Such criteria shall be as determined by each of the city departments or agencies and as regulated by other applicable laws. The city manager, or designee, shall review comments as provided by each city department or agency to determine whether the proposed event complies with all of the individual criteria. A recommendation of denial by any department or agency shall be accompanied by specific findings which enumerate how the request does not comply with their individual criteria. The duration of each special event shall be clearly stated within the approved Permit.

(b)

Approvals of applications shall be issued when such application is complete and complies with all applicable criteria and requests.

(c)

Conditional approvals of applications shall be issued when such applications require conditions to be satisfied in order to be found in compliance with applicable criteria.

(1)

The city manager, or designee, shall have authority to attach to the grant of a special event permit such conditions and safeguards as may be necessary. Such conditions and safeguards shall be based upon, and consistent with, considerations and standards applicable to the special event permit. The requirement for any such conditions or safeguards shall be supported by stated reasons, based upon such considerations and standards, and no such condition or safeguard shall establish special limitations and/or requirements beyond those reasonably necessary for the accomplishment of the purpose for which the condition or safeguard is attached.

(2)

Failure to comply with conditions and safeguards, when attached to the grant of a special event permit, shall be deemed a violation of this Code.

(d)

Denials of applications shall be issued if after conditions and safeguards have been considered and the application still fails to comply with all applicable criteria; any provision of this Code will be violated by the special event; or for any other good cause determined by the city manager, or designee.
