A. Special event permit applications are subject to the provisions regarding due dates and processing fees that are set forth in the following matrix:
Event Type | Application Due Date | Application Processing Fee | Application Processing Fee (Non-profit) | Fee for Expedited Review |
Residential Block Party | 5 days before event | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Tier 1 Event | 15 days before event | $50.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 |
Tier 2 Event | 45 days before event | 175.00 | 90.00 | 90.00 |
Tier 3 Event | 90 days before event | 300.00 | 150.00 | 150.00 |
B. The amount of the application processing fee must be paid at the time of application or within such additional time as may be authorized by the approval authority in writing. The City has no obligation to process an application or issue a permit unless and until the application processing fee is paid.
C. The application processing fee is separate from, and does not include, fees chargeable by other departments and functions of the City for services provided. As a courtesy, the City Clerk may provide an applicant a list of fees and other requirements to be imposed by other departments and functions, but the failure to do so creates no remedy.
D. In order to be eligible for the reduced processing fee set forth in the matrix for non-profit organizations, the special event producer must provide documentation regarding non-profit status that is satisfactory to the City Manager or designee.
E. The application due dates set forth above shall be waived by the Approval Authority if the special event for which a permit is sought is based upon the occurrence of an identifiable event or decision, that date of which could not have been predicted with certainty, including the announcement of military action, an announcement of a court decision, or a death. If the Event Organizer seeks this waiver, it must provide the Approval Authority with information sufficient for the Approval Authority to determine that the waiver applies. (Ord. 2020-6, 9-1-2020)
