(B) The Board of Parks and Recreation may, in its discretion, issue such permit upon application when it is consistent with the proper use and protection of the park property under its jurisdiction; and refuse same when inconsistent with the proper use and protection of park property.
(C) No person shall erect any structure, stand, or platform; hold any meeting; perform any ceremony; make a speech, address, or oration; or exhibit or distribute any sign, placard, notice, declaration, or appeal in any park except by permit of the Board.
(D) Upon application, such permit shall be issued unless:
(1) The use for which the permit is sought is of a commercial nature;

(3) The date and time requested has previously been allocated by permit, or would obstruct and interfere substantially with park use and enjoyment by the public. However, no permit shall be issued for any unlawful purpose or to any person, group, or organization which is subversive or disloyal to the United States, who might incite a riot, or who is engaged in activities calculated to provoke racial or religious discrimination prejudices.
(E) Whenever a permit is denied by reason of division (D)(1), (2), or (3) above (exclusive of the proviso clause set forth in division (D)(3)), alternative suitable locations and dates shall be offered to the applicant.
