(A) The town 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 purpose of these regulations is to facilitate advance planning, coordinate scheduling, and arrange for appropriate town services and operations to serve the film production event in an efficient manner. To serve this purpose, film production companies are required to secure a film permit in advance of any film production activity.
