Written requests by interested parties shall be submitted to the City Manager for such period as the City may determine. The City may terminate the designation of any festival area at any time.
(b) In determining whether an area should be designated as a festival area, the following shall be considered:
(1) Contribution of the area and vendors to the purpose of the festival or celebration;
(2) Inclusion of the festival area and vendors on the event operator's list of approved areas and vendors;
(3) Traffic and pedestrian control;
(4) Parking and other accommodation for vendors;
(5) Accessibility for emergency vehicles; and
(6) Trash and sanitation.
(c) In order to provide adequate time for assessment and review of a written request, the event operator/promoter must submit its written request for the designation of a festival area no less than ninety days in advance of any event or festival, except that if the City terminates any designation after that date, any affected party shall have the right to re-submit a request within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of the termination.
