Sec. B3-150. Action by the Zoning Administrator.

(a) At the time and place set for public hearing on the application for a parade license, the Zoning Administrator shall consider the recommendations of the Sheriff and the other officials and agencies investigating the application pursuant to Section B3-149(a) and all records, papers, files and any other relevant evidence. The Zoning Administrator shall either continue the hearing, hold the matter under advisement or render a decision granting or denying the application.

(b) The Zoning Administrator may refuse to issue a parade license after consideration of the application, the recommendations of the Sheriff and the County officials investigating the application pursuant to Section B3-149(a) and any other relevant papers, records, and files, on any of the following grounds:

(1) The proposed route, time or duration of the parade would substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of traffic or would unreasonably interfere with fire or Sheriff protection in the area; or

(2) The proposed manner of conducting the parade is reasonably likely to cause serious injury to persons, damage to property or provoke a riot or major disorder; or

(3) The applicant knowingly made a material misstatement of fact in the license application.

(c) If a parade license is approved, the Zoning Administrator may include such restrictions and conditions in the license regulating the time, place, duration or manner of conducting the parade as are reasonable and necessary under the circumstances to protect the public health, safety or welfare including, without limitation, that the applicant agree in writing to indemnify and defend the County for any damages or costs that may be incurred related to the parade; that the applicant provide evidence of adequate insurance coverage; and that the applicant provide agreements and security in an amount, form and manner as are required to secure compliance with any or all of the conditions of the license.

(d) Upon approval of a parade license, the Zoning Administrator shall prepare and forward to the applicant written notice that a license has been granted, and a statement of any conditions attached thereto. A copy of the notice shall be sent to the Sheriff, the Transportation Agency, and the County officials investigating the application pursuant to Section B3-149(a). The Zoning Administrator's decision shall not become final until the 15-calendar-day period during which an appeal can be made to the Board of Supervisors has elapsed without an appeal having been filed.
