No owner, tenant, keeper, proprietor or other person in the interest of such owner, tenant, keeper or proprietor, or any lessee of any such person or corporation shall hold or permit to be held or operated a dance, entertainment, musical concert or public meeting hall where people congregate within one hundred fifty (150) feet of any school building, hospital or church. However, the Director of Public Safety, when satisfied that the holding of a dance, entertainment, musical concert or public meeting will not constitute a public nuisance by the creation of unnecessary and unseemly noise, may issue a permit for any such use upon application therefor. Notice of the application for any permit hereunder shall be given to the hospital, school or church authorities within sufficient time to permit the filing of objections to the issuance of such permit. Upon the receipt of such objections, the Director shall proceed to hold a hearing upon the question of the issuance of a permit for the holding of such dance, entertainment, musical concert or public meeting, and if satisfied that the same will not constitute a public nuisance by the creation of unnecessary and unseemly noise, may issue such permit. The Director is hereby authorized to impose such conditions upon the issuance of such permit as he or she deems necessary for the prevention of unnecessary and unseemly noise. Such permit shall be in addition to but not in substitution for any other permit or license required for the holding of such dance, entertainment, musical concert or public meeting and no such other permit or license shall be issued except subsequent to the issuance of the permit herein provided for.
