A. A person seeking to obtain a permit shall file an application with the town manager. The form of the application shall be established by the town manager in the administrative rules and regulations adopted pursuant to section 4-13-28 of this chapter. An application shall not be filed sooner than three hundred sixty five (365) days prior to the date on which the special event is to be held.

B. An application for a special event permit shall be filed with the town manager within the timeframe specified in the administrative rules and regulations promulgated by the town manager pursuant to section 4-13-28 of this chapter. The town manager may waive the minimum filing period and accept an application filed within a shorter time period if, after due consideration of the date, time, place, and nature of the special event, the anticipated number of participants, and the town services required in connection with the special event, the town manager determines that sufficient time exists for the proper investigation and review of the application; that the waiver will not present a hazard to public health, safety or welfare; and that the waiver will not create a substantial burden on the town's staff or financial resources. Applications received after the established deadline may be subject to denial or a late fee.

C. A permit issued pursuant to this Chapter eliminates the need for a development permit to authorize the special event. However, an applicant may still be required to obtain a development permit depending on the size and scale of any temporary structures proposed to be used in connection with the special event. The need for a development permit will be determined by the town manager once the application has been received and reviewed.

D. An application for a special event permit shall contain such information as shall be established by the town manager in administrative rules and regulations adopted pursuant to section 4-13-28 of this Chapter. (Ord. 15, Series 2021; amd. Ord. 37, Series 2022. Formerly 4-13-8)
