All neighborhood events and neighborhood parades must comply with the following regulations.
(a) Neighborhood events and neighborhood parades may be held any day of the week, but streets must be cleared and open to traffic no later than 11:00 p.m.
(b) The applicant must have the neighborhood event or neighborhood parade permit, and all other required permits and approvals, if any, present at the neighborhood event or neighborhood parade during the entire duration of the event, including, but not limited to, set-up and clean up. Failure to abide by this provision may result in the revocation of the neighborhood event or neighborhood parade permit.
(c) Barricades. The portion of the public right-of-way to be used by the neighborhood event shall be closed to vehicular traffic by an appropriate number of Type 1 barricades. All barricades must be supplied by the applicant and the applicant is responsible for putting barricades in place and removing them. Barricades must be staffed at all times with at least one person 18 years of age or older who is wearing a reflective safety vest. Once barricades are in place, no vehicle traffic is allowed beyond the barricades except for emergency vehicles. All barricades shall be removed within one-half hour after the ending time of the event for which the street is closed. Barricades shall also be immediately removed upon request of the outdoor events manager, any police officer or employee of the city charged with enforcing this article. Vehicles shall not be parked at the barricade locations so that access to the street is blocked. The outdoor events manager, in consultation with the chief of police and the director of transportation and public works, may approve an alternative plan for the use of barricades.
(d) Unobstructed roadway. An unobstructed roadway width of 12 feet as required by the most current fire code must be maintained along the closed sections of the streets for neighborhood events. No structures, including tents, stages and bounce houses are allowed in the unobstructed roadway width detailed above or any sidewalk or parkway. Items such as chairs and tables are allowed.
(e) No neighborhood event permit shall be granted when the street closure would result in denying prompt access to an area or location for emergency vehicles.
(f) No fire hydrants may be obstructed by neighborhood event activities. A three-foot clear space shall be maintained around the fire hydrant.
(g) Applicants are responsible for collecting and disposing of all trash and cleaning up at the conclusion of the neighborhood event. If the clean-up is not to the satisfaction of the city, the clean-up will be performed by the city and the applicant will be billed for the cost of the clean-up.
(h) No admission fees may be charged for any neighborhood event or neighborhood parade, but requests for donations shall be permitted.
(i) The applicant shall be responsible for any significant damage to city streets, sidewalks and/or other city real or personal property provided that the outdoor events manager or his or her designee, mailed or delivered to the applicant a demand for such repair within 60 days after the ending date of the neighborhood event.
