§ 9.39.070 Special Events.

A special event is a temporary use which requires special consideration due to an increase in traffic, parking, noise, light and glare, vibration, odor, visual impact, or other affects incidental to the operation of a temporary use and the effects that such uses may have on the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or the community as a whole. In granting a special event permit, the Director of Community Development may require certain safeguards and establish certain conditions of approval to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the community.

Definition.

Normal sales or functions which are incidental to the existing permitted use (i.e., sales conducted within the structure of an existing retail use, live entertainment if currently permitted under a Conditional Use Permit, etc.) shall not be considered a special event. Typical activities that would be considered a special event would include, but not be limited to, auctions (outdoor), farmers markets, open air markets and swap meets.
(b) 
Permitted Uses. The following temporary uses are permissible in any zone in the City pursuant to the provisions of this Section and subject to the granting of a Temporary Site Development Permit per Chapter 9.71.

(d) 
Types of Permits. There are three types of Temporary Site Development Permits that may be issued for special events:
(1) 
Individual Temporary Site Development Permit — a permit for any one event within a calendar year subject to administrative review and approval by the Director of Community Development. A public hearing shall be required if the event is determined to be a major event.
(2) 
Comprehensive Temporary Site Development Permit — a permit for up to eight separate, non-consecutive events within a calendar year subject to administrative review and approval by the Director of Community Development. A public hearing shall be required if the event is determined to be a major event.
(3) 
Master Temporary Site Development Permit — a permit for nine or more non-consecutive events within a calendar year or for any continuous activity or use of a property which constitutes a special event as defined above. Master special event permits are subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. A public hearing is required for consideration of a master special event permit.
(e) 
Basis for Approval, Conditional Approval of a Special Event Permit. The approval, conditional approval or denial of any Individual Temporary Site Development Permit, Comprehensive Temporary Site Development Permit, or Master Temporary Site Development Permits shall be based upon the following factors and principles:
(1) 
That the proposed temporary use is a special event permitted under this Section.
(2) 
That the special event is consistent with the Zoning Code and will not be incompatible with the General Plan.
(3) 
That the site for the special event is adequate in size, shape, and access to accommodate additional demands generated by the proposed use.
(4) 
That the special event as proposed and/or conditioned will protect the safety and general welfare of the community; and will not cause significant noise, traffic, or other conditions or situations that may be detrimental or incompatible with other permitted uses in the vicinity.
