3-11-3: PARADE EVENT PERMITS:
Any person who intends to engage in a parade event shall first obtain a parade event permit, location agreement, facility use agreement, and/or other permit or agreement as necessary for locations and facilities needed for or in association with the event.
A. Application Submission:
1. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, a completed electronic application on the city form, including the payment of application fees and the submission of corrected or additional information as required, shall be submitted to the city at least forty-five (45) calendar days before the event is scheduled to take place in order to allow sufficient time to process the application, to review the preparation and setup of the event, for any inspection to occur, and to allow timely appeal in the event the application is denied.
2. If an application is determined to be incomplete or if substantial changes are made to an existing application or event, the forty-five (45) day deadline shall not begin until the application is resubmitted and determined to be a complete application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a complete application for a parade event permit well in advance of the forty-five (45) day application deadline.
3. Applications for events that submit the application less than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the scheduled event shall not be accepted.
4. The city shall issue a written decision of approval, approval with conditions, or denial, in the form of a use agreement, for approved permits or a letter of explanation for denied applications, on all complete parade event permit applications no less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the event.
B. Events Review Committee (ERC): The events review committee shall be made up in the same manner outlined in section 3-10-4B.
C. Review Process: Applications for a parade event permit shall be submitted electronically to the special events coordinator (SEC) who, within three (3) business days, shall verify that the application is complete and either return the application to the applicant for correction or supplementation if incomplete or forward the complete application to the ERC for review. Upon resubmission of a returned incomplete application, the application shall be reviewed as if it were an original application submission. Once submitted to the ERC, the review and approval process for a parade event permit application shall be as described in section 3-10-4C for special events. (Ord. 2023-017, 8-31-2023)
