§ 3-2.1703. Conditions for Issuance of Permits.

The Chief of Police shall issue a permit therefor pursuant to the provisions of this article if he finds from a consideration of the application and such other information as he may otherwise obtain or have knowledge of that:

(a)

The granting of the request will not substantially interrupt the safe, orderly movement of vehicular traffic on the public streets or pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk areas.

(b)

The granting of the request will not unduly interfere with the furnishing of proper fire and police protection.

(c)

The granting of the permit is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property.

(d)

If the request is for parking spaces or sidewalk area, that the use of said parking spaces or sidewalk area requested is not related to a profit-making activity or enterprise.

(e)

If he finds that the granting of the permit is in the public interest.

This section shall not prohibit the Chief of Police from allowing the use of parking spaces by contractors for the parking of their vehicles, or the elimination of parking, if either is necessary for building repairs or construction.

The Chief of Police shall have the authority to place such reasonable conditions or restrictions on the permit as he may deem necessary to protect the public interest, including a requirement in the permit that the permittee furnish the City with public liability and property damage insurance, if he finds such to be in the public interest.
