5.28.060 Permit – Application – Requirements.
A. Filing of Application. Any person or organization desiring to sponsor a special event not exempted by this chapter shall apply for a special event permit by filing a completed application on a form supplied by the city. This application shall be filed not less than ninety days in advance of the date on which the event is to occur if the event requires the closure of any highway or street, any detouring of traffic, or any significant impact on city services. Other events not requiring the foregoing are to be filed not less than sixty days in advance of the proposed event.
B. Waiver of Application Deadline. Upon a showing of good cause, the mayor or mayor’s designee shall consider an application that is filed after the filing deadline if there is sufficient time to process and investigate the application and obtain police and other city services for the event. Good cause can be demonstrated by the applicant showing that the circumstance that gave rise to the permit application did not reasonably allow the participants to file within the time prescribed, and that the event is for the purpose of exercising the right of free speech under a special expressive events permit.
C. Information Requested on Application. In order that adequate arrangements may be made for the proper protection of the special event, the people in attendance, as well as the general public, the mayor or mayor’s designee shall have the authority to set the information required on the application. Such information shall include but not be limited to:
1. The name of the applicant, the sponsoring organization, the special event chairperson, and the address and telephone number of each;
2. The purpose of the special event, the date when it is proposed to be conducted, the location and the hours of operation, including site map or maps, schedule of events and location of events;
3. Such other information as the mayor or mayor’s designee may deem reasonably necessary.
