(a) No person shall engage in, conduct or carry on the business of film production on private or public property within the incorporated area of the City of Kent, Ohio, including but not limited to rights-of-way, without first receiving a film permit from the City. This is in addition to any permit that may be required by the International Fire Code or any other provisions of the City of Kent Codified Ordinances. Use of a City facility or building (other than a road) shall also require the applicant for the permit to enter into a "location agreement" contract with the City, governing the use of City property.
(b) The permit shall set forth the approved location of such filming and also the approved duration of such filming by specific reference to day or dates. No permit shall authorize filming for more than three (3) consecutive days in any one location involving a road closure. Said permit must be readily available for inspection by City officials at all times at the site of the filming.
(c) If a permit is issued and filming does not in fact take place on the dates specified due to good cause, including but not limited to reasons of inclement weather, the City Manager or designee may issue a new permit for filming on other dates subject to full compliance with all other provisions of this chapter. No additional fee shall be paid for this new permit.
