(A) The Board of Commissioners’ decision to deny a special events permit shall be in writing with reasons stated for denial, and shall be communicated promptly to the applicant, either in person, by overnight delivery through a carrier that provides proof of delivery, or electronically. Electronic delivery shall also be accompanied by regular surface mail to be posted within 24 hours of electronic notice.
(B) The Board of Commissioners may deny a special event permit for any of the following reasons or for any other good cause:
(1) The applicant supplies false or misleading information; fails to complete the application or to provide other required documents;
(2) The applicant willfully fails to comply with a requirement or regulation of this chapter;
(3) The application is untimely;
(4) The applicant or event sponsor previously engaged in conduct or activity which resulted in jeopardizing public health, safety, or welfare. The conduct or activity resulting in the denial of the special event permit will be specified in the written response with supporting documentation;
(5) The proposed event is proximate to another special event previously permitted or scheduled such that the Board of Commissioners, after making reasonable efforts to accommodate both events, is unable to reasonably accommodate both events; or
(6) The proposed event would unreasonably disrupt the orderly or safe circulation of traffic so as to present an unreasonable risk of injury or damage to the public.
(C) The Board of Commissioners may issue a special event permit with conditions placed upon the event in the best interest of public health, safety or for other reasonable cause.
