A. The city manager shall act on all complete applications as follows:
1. The city manager shall issue Plaza event permits on a first come, first served basis, subject to the applicant's compliance with the permit application requirements and other provisions of this chapter, and based on the understanding that the city may cancel the Plaza event if the Plaza is needed for city business. The city is not liable for any damages a permittee or anyone else may incur if the city cancels a Plaza permit.
2. If the city manager receives an application at least sixty (60) days before the proposed date of the Plaza event, then the city manager shall act on the application and notify the applicant of that action, in writing, not later than forty-five (45) days after the application is received.
3. If the city manager receives an application less than sixty (60) days before the proposed date of the Plaza event, then the city manager shall act on the application and notify the applicant of that action, in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable, but the application will be deemed denied if the city manager does not act by 5:00 p.m. on the third day before the proposed date of the Plaza event.
4. The city manager may impose any conditions on the approval of the application for a Plaza event permit that he or she determines to be reasonably necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, subject to the following: the city manager shall not deny or condition a Plaza event permit based on the identity of the applicant, the content of the applicant's speech, the message conveyed by the Plaza event, or any assumption or prediction about public hostility that may be aroused by the applicant's speech or the message conveyed by the Plaza event.
B. After the city manager issues a Plaza event permit, any changes in the related application may require modification of permit conditions or revocation of the permit.
C. An application for a Plaza event permit may not be submitted earlier than six months before the proposed date of the Plaza event. (Ord. 2012-040 § 1)12.74.080
