5.50.080 Permit approval/denial.
A. The application shall be approved or denied within three business days of receipt of the application, except in the CD Downtown Core Zone, where applications shall be approved or denied within 10 business days of receipt. The film permit shall be reviewed by the City Manager. The permit shall be denied if the City Manager determines that any of the following conditions exist:
1. The filming activity will substantially disrupt the use of a street at a time when it is usually subject to traffic congestion, or interfere with the operation of emergency vehicles in the proposed permit area, or unreasonably block, impede or disrupt a public street, sidewalk or right-of-way.
2. The location of the filming activity will substantially interfere with street maintenance work, a previously authorized excavation permit, or other type of public works projects.
3. The proposed permit location is on City-owned property and the filming activity will substantially interfere with municipal functions, or other previously authorized activities on City property.
4. The filming activity creates a substantial risk of injury to persons or property.
5. The applicant failed to complete the application after being requested to do so, or the information contained in the application is found to be false in any material detail.
6. The particular filming activity would violate Federal, State or local law including license/permit requirements.
7. The filming activity will create a substantial adverse impact on private residences or businesses.
8. The filming activity does not have the approval of at least two-thirds of affected business owners in nonresidential area, or property owners in residential area.
9. In the downtown core, the concerns of the Downtown Association cannot be adequately mitigated.
10. Other substantial adverse effects may result from the filming activity.
11. City staff has not been able to determine whether to approve the permit due to lack of sufficient information or time to evaluate.
B. When the grounds for permit denial can be corrected by imposing reasonable permit conditions, the City Manager shall impose such conditions rather than denying the permit.
