(A) The City of Lincolnton recognizes film production as an important economic activity which benefits the community. However, such activity requires regulation to ensure that citizens, property, traffic flow and public safety are protected and the least amount of disruption to the community occurs.
(B) The city has developed this Film Ordinance (“this chapter”) to facilitate advance planning, coordinate scheduling and arrange for appropriate city services and operations to serve the film production event in an efficient manner. Toward this end, film production companies are required to secure a film permit in advance of any film production activity.
