(a) The city recognizes the need to encourage and promote events for the greater good, cultural diversity and promotion of the city.
(b) The city finds that there are an increased number of demands upon city resources and infrastructure from applications to hold outdoor events in the city streets, sidewalks and parks and for large outdoor events on private property. In order to conserve and allocate city resources and to adequately protect the public safety of the event participants, neighboring property owners, residents and businesses, it is necessary to regulate the use of the city’s parks, streets and public areas by those desiring to hold outdoor events on public property and to regulate large outdoor events on private property.
(c) The intent of this article is to ensure that the city will have adequate advance notice of outdoor events and the ability to plan and allocate the city services that will be needed while recouping the city’s costs associated with outdoor events, such as personnel, equipment, utilities, maintenance and administrative costs.
