   (a)   The Safety Service Director or his designee must issue a permit as provided for herein when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, the Safety Service Director or his designee finds that:

      (1)   The conduct of the parade, public assembly or procession will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other pedestrian or vehicular traffic contiguous to its route or location;

      (2)   The parade route of march, assembly or procession areas will not unreasonably interfere with the movement of emergency service vehicles;

      (4)   The concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at public points of the parade, public assembly or procession will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such public assembly areas;

      (5)   The parade, public assembly or procession is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en-route;

      (6)   Adequate sanitation and other required health facilities are or will be made available in or adjacent to any public assembly areas;

      (10)   No parade, assemblage, obstruction or procession permit application for the same time and location is already granted or has been received and will be granted, and the police, fire, EMS, public works, or recreation resources required for that prior parade or public assembly are so great that in combination with the subsequent proposed application, the resulting deployment of police, fire, EMS, public works, or recreation services would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the welfare and safety of person and property; and

      (11)   No event is scheduled elsewhere in the City where the police, fire, EMS, public works, or recreation resources required for that event are so great that the deployment of services for the proposed parade of public assembly would have an immediate and adverse effect upon public health, safety, or general welfare of the residents of the City.

   (b)   No permit shall be granted that allows for the erection or placement of any structure, whether permanent or temporary, on a street, sidewalk, or right-of-way unless obtaining a street obstruction permit with approval by the Safety Service Director or his designee for the erection of placement of the structure is obtained.
