(2) The event sponsor has met the standards in this chapter and has submitted in advance any required fees, deposits, and assurances, and has agreed to such conditions as are imposed in the permit;
(3) The times, duration, and size of the event will not cause undue hardship to adjacent businesses or residents;
(4) There are no other events requiring a temporary street closure for the same time and location that have been or will be granted, unless the parties have agreed to work in conjunction;
