(a) This article only applies to the leased premises as defined in the Dallas Farmers Market Shed 1 lease.
(b) The Dallas Farmers Market shall submit an online application with the office of special events. An application must be filed not less than 30 business days before the Dallas Farmers Market farmers market is to begin.
(c) An application must be completed in full before it can be invoiced. An application will not be processed, and the date and venue will not be confirmed until the application processing fee has been paid. Submission of a complete application does not guarantee a permit will be issued. All requirements must be met prior to permit issuance.
(d) If the director determines that an application requires additional information in order to make a decision, or if additional fees will be required to process the application, the application will be considered incomplete and cancelled if the applicant does not supply the additional information or fees after the director has sent two reminder emails and made one reminder phone call after a period of 10 business days without a response from the applicant.
(e) Upon receipt of the completed application, the director shall forward a copy of the application to all applicable city departments and partner agencies for review. If the application must be reviewed for public safety, public safety agencies will review the application first, followed by a review by city departments and partner agencies. Each department and partner agency shall review the application and return it, with any comments, to the director within 10 business days of receipt requiring a response. Each review phase is allowed 10 business days. Review phases run sequentially with public safety review getting the first 10 business days and department and partner agency review getting the second 10 business days. If no response is received, the director may proceed with permitting, however, if an application requires a public safety review, the director must wait for the public safety review response before proceeding. If any department denies the event request, or a resolution cannot be reached, a permit will be denied.
(f) The director shall cancel a Dallas Farmers Market farmers market permit application if:
(1) the proposed Dallas Farmers Market farmers market will occupy any part of a freeway, expressway, or tollway.
(2) the proposed Dallas Farmers Market farmers market will unreasonably disrupt the orderly flow of traffic, and no reasonable means of rerouting traffic or otherwise meeting traffic needs is available.
(3) the proposed Dallas Farmers Market farmers market cannot comply with high impact parameters.
(4) the applicant makes a false statement of material fact on an application for a Dallas Farmers Market farmers market permit or fails to properly complete an application for Dallas Farmers Market farmers permit.
(5) the applicant had a Dallas Farmers Market farmers market permit revoked within the preceding 14 months.
(6) the applicant has received, within the preceding 14 months, two or more notices of violations or citations related to a provision of a Dallas Farmers Market farmers market permit or this chapter.
(7) the applicant has a history of conducting or sponsoring a Dallas Farmers Market farmers market in a disorderly, unsafe, unsanitary, or fiscally irresponsible manner.
(g) The building official, departments, and the director may prescribe licenses, permits, and authorizations required by other city ordinances or applicable law, restrictions, regulations, safeguards, and other conditions necessary for the safe and orderly conduct of the Dallas Farmers Market farmers market to be incorporated into the permit before issuance.
(h) Major changes to the original submission of an application require the submission of a new permit application along with new application processing fees. The original permit application will be deemed incomplete and cancelled.
