(A) The Public Safety Director or the Town Manager shall issue a permit as provided for hereunder when, from a consideration of the application and from other information, reasonable and reliable in nature and in content as may otherwise be obtained, he or she finds that:
(1) The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic and will proceed along the prescribed route of march only once;
(2) The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection, or ambulance service;
(3) The conduct of the parade is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property or to provoke disorderly conduct;
(4) The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delay en route; and
(5) The parade is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any product, goods or event, and is not designed to be held purely for private profit; provided, however, the prohibition against advertising any product, goods or event shall not apply to signs identifying organizations or sponsors furnishing or sponsoring floats or transportation for the parade.
(B) Additionally, if the Public Safety Director or the Town Manager finds that the parade permit requested is both subsequent and similar in purpose and/or persons to parades previously requested and held during the same calendar year and are so unreasonably repetitious as to constitute an inconvenience to the public in its use of the parade routes and their contiguous places of business and of public use, access and enjoyment, he or she may deny the application.
