The City Administrator may deny an application for a special event permit if he or she determines, from a consideration of the application, or other pertinent information, that:
(A) Information contained in the application, or supplemental information requested from the applicant, is found to be false, misleading or nonexistent in any material detail, or the applicant has evaded or suppressed any material fact; or
(B) The proposed event would not comply with all other applicable city ordinances or the proposed event would be unlawful or constitute a public nuisance; or
(C) The applicant fails to complete the application form after having been notified of the additional information or documents required; or
(D) The applicant refuses to agree, to abide or comply with all of the conditions and terms of this chapter and the permit; or
(E) It is found that the purpose of the special event is principally devoted to the advertising of a commercial product or service; or
(F) The time, route, hours, location and size of the special event will unnecessarily disrupt the movement of traffic within the area; or
(G) The special event is of a 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; or
(H) Another special event 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 or another city department is unable to meet the needs for police and other city services for both events; or
(I) The location of the special event would cause undue hardship for adjacent businesses or residents; or
(J) The location of the event will substantially interfere with any construction or maintenance work scheduled to take place upon or along public property or right-of-way, or a previously granted encroachment permit; or
(K) The applicant has not paid the city in full for any amount due, based on another special event held in the city or any other charge or fee invoiced by the city to applicant that has not been appealed by the applicant.
