A. Permit Required: It is unlawful for any person, corporation, partnership, association, or other entity, public or private, to hold a special event without first obtaining a special event permit.

B. Events Not Requiring A Special Event Permit: The following events, or events held at the following, are not special events under this chapter, but may require other permitting:

1. A building or private property that has a business located on or within and a current annual business license as an event business;

2. A building with an assembly group classification under the International Building Code adopted by the state, so long as the event does not exceed the posted occupancy load as approved by the city and has a current annual business license, if required;

3. A grand opening or open house event, not to exceed thirty (30) days, held on site in association and conjunction with the conclusion of construction.

C. Associated Permits: Certain types of special events will necessitate the need for associated permits and/or agreements such as, but not limited to, an encroachment permit to allow for the closure of a public street, trail, or other public property in order to make the event viable, or use agreements for the use of the facility. Such associated permits shall be secured prior to or as part of the approval of a special event permit for the same event. Unless addressed in chapter 11 of this title, events that do not require a special event permit under this chapter, but require an encroachment permit or other associated permit, shall also require a full special event permit.
