Except as provided in subsection (c) below, under no circumstances shall the chief of staff approve any permit that allows the applicant to:
(1)
Limit the use of a public street or sidewalk by pedestrians and/or vehicles that are using the street or sidewalk to move from location to location; or
(2)
Limit the use of a public park, when use of the park by the general public shall not unreasonably disturb the activities of the outdoor event.
(b)
Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the imposition of reasonable restrictions on the movement of the general public which are necessary for the carrying out of the outdoor event; however, such restrictions shall not be based on nor impact any member of the public because of any of the factors set forth in section 142-12(b) above.
(c)
An applicant that wishes to hold an event that requires closure of all or a portion of a city-owned street, sidewalk, park, or other right-of-way, shall apply for an assembly permit, a street closure permit, or a sidewalk closure permit, (all of which are defined in Article VI), whichever is applicable, pursuant to the criteria set forth in Article VI below.
