(1) The safe conduct of the parade or special event will substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its route; or

(3) The conduct of the parade or special event will require the diversion of so great a number of emergency and rescue units that adequate emergency and rescue service to portions of the city and contiguous areas not occupied by the parade or special event will be impeded; or
(4) The concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at assembly points of the parade or special event will substantially interfere with adequate police and fire protection of or emergency and rescue service to areas contiguous to such assembly areas; or
