Upon receipt of an application, the director or designee shall conduct the necessary investigation for the protection of public health, safety, welfare and overall public good. The director or designee may require a special event meeting prior to approval/denial. The permit application and any required plot plan shall be referred to the applicable fire district providing area fire protection and the police department. The police department shall conduct an outstanding warrant check on the applicants for all special events. After receiving and reviewing the information required by Section 16.20.030, the director shall issue or deny the special event permit after ten (10) working days, or after a required background check is complete (whichever is greater), along with any conditions of approval, or, if denied, the reason(s) for any denial. The department shall keep a record of all permits issued or denied for a period of one year after the date of the application. If, as a result of such investigation, any agency determines that the granting of the permit would be detrimental to the public health, welfare or safety, the application shall be denied. If a special event permit or a special event vendor’s permit application is denied, the reason(s) for the denial shall be given in writing within ten (10) days of the denial. The department shall keep a record of special events permits issued for a period of two (2) years. (Ord. No. 2003-08, §§ 1, 2, 9-2-03; Ord. No. 2014-02, §§ 1, 2, 5-20-14; Ord.
