Any gathering or activity on public property that either substantially interrupts the normal use of public spaces or has a public impact requiring City services and requires a special event permit. The event may be open to the public or private. A special event may also be any activity that requires additional City resources beyond normal operations or impacts the surrounding community through increased traffic, parking needs, noise, or other factors that affect the regular use of public spaces or neighboring properties. Such events include but are not limited to athletic events such as 5Ks, runs, walks, and bicycle races, block parties, carnivals, fairs and festivals, concerts and street dances, parades, outdoor events on City property that are inconsistent with the typical use, outdoor events on City property with attendance that exceeds 50 individuals, outdoor events on private property that require City services or impact public spaces, streets or neighboring properties, events in City rental facilities that exceed the facility's capacity and any other similar event.
An application for a Special Event Permit must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the event date. Applications may be submitted up to one year in advance of the event date. Applications submitted less than 90 days are subject to an additional fee. Applications submitted less than 30 days prior to the event date will not be considered.
