A Special Event is any temporary/ongoing activity that occurs on public (or possibly private) property that will affect the ordinary use of parks, public streets, right-of-ways, sidewalks, traffic and/or generates considerable public participation. A special event is also defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: (a) is reasonably expected to cause or result in one hundred (100) or more people gathering in a park or other public place; (b) is reasonably expected to have a substantial impact on such park or other public place; and (c) is reasonably expected to require the provision of substantial public services. The application/permit process ensures that the activity meets legal requirements, allows the City to adequately schedule needed public services, and alerts the affected neighborhoods and businesses, and recoups costs incurred during the event.
