A. An authorization pursuant to this chapter is not required to conduct, aid, or participate in any spontaneous expressive event that complies with the provisions of this section.
B. Prior to the start of the event, the organizer of a spontaneous expressive event shall notify the committee of the event and, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, respond to all appropriate requests for information.
C. A spontaneous expressive event must not present a substantial safety or traffic hazard and must not unduly impede, obstruct, impair, or interfere with the public's use of the street or other public property, the operation of emergency vehicles, the provision of city services, or any lawful competing use of the location where the event is located.
D. If a spontaneous expressive event presents a substantial safety or traffic hazard, or unduly impedes, obstructs, impairs, or interferes with the public's use of the street or other public property, the operation of emergency vehicles, the provision of city services, or any lawful competing use of the location where the event is located:
1. Unless the spontaneous expressive event's location has special communicative value to the purpose of the event and such value would be lost by moving the event to another location, the event's organizer must make a diligent and good faith effort to relocate the event, and its participants, to another location that does not present a substantial safety or traffic hazard, or unduly impede, obstruct, impair, or interfere with the public's use of the street or other public property, the operation of emergency vehicles, the provision of city services, or any lawful competing use of the location where the event is located.
2. If the spontaneous expressive event cannot be relocated due to the special communicative value of the event's location or the unavailability of another location, then the chief of police shall take appropriate action to the extent reasonably necessary to eliminate the hazard, risk, interference, or impairment; provided, however, that the chief of police shall not order the area cleared or the cessation of spontaneous expressive activities unless reasonably necessary to avoid imminent danger to person or property.
