Unregulated outdoor events can endanger participants and attendees if the events do not provide adequate security, sanitary facilities, drinking water, first aid services, traffic control and other essential services. These events can also negatively impact area residents and businesses. This chapter provides for regulation of events expected to be attended by 350 persons or more to protect the health and safety of attendees, participants, neighbors and the general public. Events attended by less than 350 persons may be subject to other chapters of this code depending on the nature of the event.

(b) Conducted by a public agency on property it owns or controls, which is authorized pursuant to a permit, license, or lease to conduct the event, or
(c) For which a permit has been issued pursuant to Title 2, Division 1, Chapter 2 of this code.
