(F) The special event is of the size or nature that requires the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the city to properly police the event, site and contiguous areas that allowing the special event would unreasonably deny police protection to the remainder of the city and its residents;
(G) Another special permit application has already been received, or has already been approved to hold another event at the same time and place requested by the applicant, or so close in time and place as to cause undue traffic congestion, or the Police Department and/or city departments are unable to meet the needs for police and other city services for both events;
