The City of Middletown shall issue a permit unless, from consideration of the application the City of Middletown Commission finds and concludes that one or more of the following circumstances exist:
(A) The sole purpose of the parade or public assembly is advertising any product, goods, wares, merchandise or event and is designed to be held for private profit; or
(B) The time, route and size of the parade will substantially disrupt the use of any street or any public place or will substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic, including emergency traffic, contiguous to its route; or
(C) The parade is of a size or nature that its conduct requires the diversion of so great a number of police officers to properly police the line of movement and the area contiguous thereto that allowing the parade would deny reasonable police protection to City of Middletown; or
(D) The parade or public assembly is of a size and nature that its conduct would interfere with the proper fire and police protection or ambulance service to the areas contiguous thereto, or would interfere with the movement of ambulances or police or fire vehicles and equipment, or other similar emergency vehicles or equipment.
