The Chief of Police shall issue a public assembly permit when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he/she makes all of the following findings:
(A) The conduct of the public assembly will not substantially or unnecessarily interfere with the safe and orderly movement of other pedestrian or vehicular traffic contiguous to its route or location; and, if such interference is likely to occur, that there are available at the time of the public assembly sufficient police resources to mitigate the interference;
(B) There will be available at the time of the public assembly a sufficient number of police officers and traffic control aids to police and protect participants and non-participants at the public assembly and in areas contiguous to the event from traffic-related hazards in light of other demands for police protection in the city at the time of the proposed public assembly;
(C) The concentration of persons, animals, vehicles, or things at the public assembly will not prevent proper fire and police protection or emergency medical services at the event or in areas contiguous to the public assembly;
(D) The public assembly will not interfere with the use of a sidewalk or street requested by another applicant to whom a valid assembly or special event permit application has already been granted or has been received and will be granted;
(E) No public assembly permit application for the same time but at a different location has already been granted or has been received and will be granted, and the police resources required for the prior public assembly are not so great that, in combination with the subsequent proposed application, the resulting deployment of police services would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the health or safety of persons or property;
(F) No other public event is scheduled elsewhere in the city where the police resources required for that event are so great that the deployment of police services for the proposed public assembly would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the health or safety of persons or property; and
(G) The application is fully and completed and executed; and
(H) The application contains no material falsehood or misrepresentation.
