§ 14-687. Standards for issuance of Public Demonstration Permit.

The Village Manager shall issue a Public Demonstration Permit as provided for herein when, from a consideration of the contents of the application and such other information as may be otherwise obtained, the Village Manager reasonably finds that:

(1)

The conduct of the public demonstration will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other pedestrian or vehicular traffic contiguous to its route or location;

(2)

The conduct of the public demonstration will not require the diversion of so great a number of village police officers to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection of the village;

(3)

The concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at public assembly points of the public demonstration will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such public assembly areas;

(4)

The conduct of the public demonstration is not reasonably likely to cause injury to person or property;

(5)

The public demonstration is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route;

(6)

Adequate sanitation and other required health facilities are or will be made available in or adjacent to any public assembly areas;

(7)

There are sufficient parking places near the site of the public demonstration to accommodate the number of vehicles reasonably expected;

(8)

The applicant has secured the police and ambulance protection, if any, required under this section;

(9)

Such public demonstration is not for the primary purpose of advertising any product, goods or event that is primarily for private profit, and the parade itself is not primarily for profit. The prohibition against advertising any product, goods or event shall not apply to signs identifying organizations or sponsors furnishing or sponsoring exhibits or structures used in the public demonstration;

(10)

No other Public Demonstration Permit application for the same time and location is already granted or has been received earlier in time than the pending application;

(11)

No Public Demonstration Permit application for the same time but at another location is already granted or has been received earlier in time than the pending application, and the necessary police or ambulance resources required for that prior public demonstration are so great that, in combination with the subsequent pending application, the resulting deployment of police services or emergency medical services would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the welfare and safety of persons and property within the village;

(12)

No event is scheduled elsewhere in the village where the police resources or needed ambulance resources required for that event are so great that the deployment of police services for the proposed parade or public assembly would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the welfare and safety of persons and property;

(13)

No permit shall be granted that allows for the erection or placement of any structure, whether permanent or temporary, on a village street, sidewalk, or right-of-way unless advance approval for the erection or placement of the structure is obtained from the Village Board.
