The purpose of this subchapter is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city by regulating the time, place, and manner of conduct of special events, and by establishing permit requirements for conducting special events as such are herein defined. The City Council finds that special events often exceed the city’s capacity to provide usual city services. The city services include, but are not limited to, sanitary, fire, police, and utility service. The City Council also finds these regulations necessary to ensure that such events are conducted with sufficient consideration given to public safety issues including, among other things, the impact of such events on parking and vehicular traffic within the city.
