Before granting any permit pursuant to this chapter, the Film Permit Coordinator shall review the application and determine that such filming or video taping will not unreasonably interfere with the public health and safety or unreasonably endanger any property. The Film Permit Coordinator will also determine if special circumstances exist and may impose conditions to the issuance of the permit. Special conditions include:
(A) Noise. Filming activities which produce unusual noise such as gunfire, sirens, public address systems, bull horns, construction, or other loud noises, may be regulated to mitigate the effects of the activity.
(B) Aircraft. Aerial filming and/or helicopter landings are not permitted without explicit written permission from the City Manager in addition to any permits required from the Federal Aviation Administration. This written authorization shall be filed with the application.
(C) Public safety personnel. Police and/or fire personnel requirements shall be determined by those departments. The expense for the required personnel will be collected from the permittee according to the city service use fee schedule. Public safety employees shall enforce all city regulations and are employees of the city, not the permittee.
(D) Streets and sidewalks. The applicant must obtain approval from the Film Permit Coordinator to park equipment and vehicles in zones that do not permit parking, to park trucks over three tons on city streets between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., and to string cable across sidewalks. The applicant must take reasonable safety precautions to ensure vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be adequately warned of any hazards.
(E) Traffic control. Any filming that will impair the normal flow of traffic must be authorized on the permit. Police officers shall be required of sufficient force to ensure the safety of the public and the permittee's employees. The permittee must obtain permission from the City Manager for any road closures. Restricted parking signs shall be posted by the Street Department, upon request from the applicant, at least 24 hours before filming is to begin. The expense for traffic control and street posting shall be collected from the permittee according to the city service use fee schedule.
(F) Clean-up. The permittee shall conduct operations in an orderly fashion with continuous attention to the storage of equipment not in use and the cleanup of trash and debris. The site shall be returned to its original condition at the conclusion of filming before leaving the site. The applicant may be required to post a refundable bond, as determined by the city, to ensure cleanup and restoration of any public property.
