(Added by Ord. No. 8655 (N.S.), effective 4-18-96; amended by Ord. No. 9889 (N.S.), effective 10-26-07)
(a) If any of the following activities are a part of an event for which the County issued an outdoor assembly license and take place on the same property as the event, a separate license for the activity is not required:
(1) Public dances, regulated under sections 21.2201 et seq.,
(2) Teen-age dances, regulated under sections 21.2301 et seq.,
(3) Entertainment, regulated under sections 21.2101 et seq., and
(4) Temporary stands, regulated under sections 21.501 et seq.

An applicant for an outdoor assembly license shall provide the Issuing Officer with proof of comprehensive general liability insurance coverage that insures the licensee, all entertainers, vendors, solicitors and all other event participants against loss resulting from liability for damages for bodily injury or death, and property damage arising from the event. The insurance policy shall be issued by a company authorized to transact insurance business in the State of California and shall name the County of San Diego and its officers, employees and agents as additional insureds. Risk Management shall determine the amount of insurance necessary based upon its determination of the risks presented by the event.

If the licensee fails to clean and restore any property the County owns, leases or has an easement over to its pre-event condition the County may clean and restore the property and require the licensee to pay the costs the County incurs. The County may consider the licensee's failure to clean and restore any property, including property owned by others, after the event in denying a subsequent license application or conditioning a grant of a subsequent license upon posting security in an amount the County determines is appropriate based upon the licensee's prior failure.

(a) In addition to denying a license based upon the criteria in section 21.108 the Issuing Officer may deny a license for an outdoor assembly if it determines the outdoor assembly will cause one or more of the following that the applicant cannot likely mitigate against:
(1) An increase of the amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic that will present a threat to public health or safety to residents and others in the vicinity where the event is proposed to occur.
(2) The event will require diverting a significant number of law enforcement personnel from their normal duties that will likely prevent reasonable law enforcement protection to the community in the area where the event is proposed.
(b) The Issuing Officer may also deny a license for an outdoor assembly if the applicant failed to abide by the terms of a previously issued outdoor assembly license and is unable to satisfactorily demonstrate that it would comply with the terms of an outdoor assembly license if the license were to be issued.
(d) If the Issuing Officer determines the applicant is entitled to the license, the Issuing Officer shall issue the license within 30 days after it received a completed application.

The Issuing Officer may grant an outdoor assembly license subject to certain conditions as it finds necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter. This may include conditions, in consultation with the Fire Code Official, related to staffing for Fire Watch or Fire Standby.
(Added by Ord. No. 8655 (N.S.), effective 4-18-96; amended by Ord. No. 9889 (N.S.), effective 10-26-07; amended by Ord. No. 10698 (N.S.), effective 1-7-21)
If the Issuing Officer determines a licensee is not complying with license conditions or is conducting an outdoor assembly in a manner that threatens the health or safety of any person, the Issuing Officer may immediately revoke the license, suspend the licensee's right to operate during certain hours or on certain days and/or may allow the licensee to continue to operate subject to additional conditions. The Issuing Officer's decision under this section to revoke, suspend or impose a condition to the license is not appealable.
