A. Any application received less than fifteen days before the proposed parade is a late application. The chief of police shall deny issuance of a parade permit to late applicants unless he or she finds one of the following conditions to be present:
1. Prior application was impossible since the parade is in response to an event of national or state importance which occurred less than fifteen days before the proposed parade date.
2. The applicant used due diligence but was not able to apply for a parade permit in a timely manner due to circumstances beyond his or her control.
B. When the chief of police finds one of the above conditions to exist, he or she shall consider the application and base his or her decision on the criteria enumerated in Section 10.70.080 of this chapter. (Ord. 481 § 1(part), 1986).
