10-14-6 Use Of Parking Areas For Temporary Events And Sales

A. A portion of a parking lot that allows at least seventy-five percent of the remaining legal parking spaces to be used for parking in conformance with the standards of this chapter may be set aside for purposes of a temporary event, such as a “tent sale,” “sidewalk/parking lot sale,” or other permitted activity. These events may not exceed seven consecutive days in length and may not occur more than once each calendar quarter. B. The property owner and operator of the licensed business at the location are jointly responsible for ensuring that events blocking parking lots do not result in unsafe traffic or circulation conditions and ensures that there is adequate fire and emergency vehicle access. The Sheriff, Fire Chief or their designee may order the event cancelled and removed without hearing or notice if found that the arrangement of the temporary event or sale interferes with safe flow of traffic or emergency vehicle access to a site. C. The property owner of the business licensed at the site, and entity responsible for the event are jointly responsible for ensuring there is adequate parking at the event site. Parking arrangements may be made for use of adjoining or nearby parking areas within a 300-foot radius, but a copy of the agreements shall be in writing and filed with the City at least 2 working days prior to the event.
