§ 82-44.204. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures for evaluating, permitting, and regulating short-term activities and events that are conducted on private property and generate or invite considerable public participation, invitees, or spectators. Because these land uses are temporary, they have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment, and their potential impact on adjoining properties is either minimal or can be offset by conditions. The procedures authorize the zoning administrator to approve permits for temporary events and to require permit conditions or deny permits when necessary to protect the public. The procedures are necessary to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of the public, temporary event participants, and nearby residents. The procedures are intended to minimize the impacts of temporary events on the normal free flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, to minimize the impacts of noise from temporary events, to protect the safety of property, and to minimize disturbance and inconvenience to neighbors, neighboring properties and neighborhoods.
