9-604 : Review by the special events board or the planning commission.

All special events shall have the approval of the special events board. Approval shall be required where any or all peddlers or sales booths are requested for a lot, tract or parcel. Peddlers operating on the same tract, lot or parcel must file a site plan with the special event board and receive approval prior to the event's occurrence. The planning commission will conduct an additional review of special event permits only when the applicants have requested use of government property which may include but is not limited to: roads, parks, schools, libraries, city hall, community center, city owned parking lots. The site plan shall include: ingress/egress; number of booths and locations, parking areas (minimum of three (3) parking spaces per booth), signage, setbacks from property lines and public right-of-ways, location of intersections, dates of the event(s) or peddling, names of event sponsors and property owners. The special event board, and where appropriate, the planning commission, will review all site plans to determine the following:

  1. Location of use in appropriate commercial zone.
  2. Maintenance of setbacks from road intersections which will insure the safety of vehicular pedestrian traffic.
  3. Location of booths to insure that the permittee's operations are at least ten feet (10') from any public right-of-way, sidewalks, or other city or state owned property.
  4. Signage to insure size less than four (4) square feet, and the location of which does not visually impair traffic movement. No signs are permitted to be attached to utility/light poles or other public equipment.
  5. Outside booths shall be limited to no more than one booth per one thousand (1,000) square feet of total parking area and located as close to buildings as possible so as not to block driveways.
  6. Site plan approval may be denied by the planning commission for:
    inadequate information, violation of zoning code, potential hazards to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, improper location or size of signs, or inadequate off-street access. (Ord. #483, April 2015)
