(1) Applications shall be made to the City Clerk. All applications for permits issued under this chapter shall be made no less than 30 days prior to the scheduled event, except in the case of outdoor music festivals, which shall be submitted not less than 90 days prior to the first scheduled day of the event. The completed application and required documents shall be circulated by the City Clerk for review and recommendation to the Chief of Police, the Fire Chief, and the Community Services Director. Based upon the recommendation of the said department heads, the City Clerk may issue a permit, deny a permit, or set conditions, limitations or restrictions that must be met before a permit may be granted. The City shall timely process a complete application and promptly respond to the applicant.

(2) The denial of any permit or the imposition of any conditions, limitations or restrictions incident to the granting of a permit shall be based solely upon those requirements reasonably necessary to protect the peace, health, safety and welfare of those both participating in the event and others using the public facilities. No permit shall be granted, conditioned or denied based upon the content of the applicant’s stated purpose, expression of lawful speech because of race, creed, color, national origin, families with children, sex, marital status, age, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a disabled person.

(3) If conditions are imposed, the applicant shall furnish proof that all conditions have been met before any permit may be issued.

(4) The permit shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises where the event is conducted. No permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be transferable to any entity or person other than applicant, or removed to another location, date or time than that stated on the application.
