(A) Issuance standards. The Chief of Police shall issue a parade permit when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he or she finds that:
(1) The conduct of the parade or public demonstration will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its route;
(2) The conduct of the parade or public demonstration will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the city to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto, as to prevent normal police protection to this city;
(3) The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of this city other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;
(4) The concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at assembly points of the parade or public demonstration will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such assembly areas;
(5) The conduct of the parade or public demonstration will not interfere with the movement of fire fighting equipment en route to a fire;
(6) The conduct of the parade or public demonstration is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct, or to create a disturbance;
(7) The parade or public demonstration is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route;
(8) The parade or public demonstration is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any produce, cause, goods, or events, and is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
