Person from Burlington City Arts granting permission: _____________________________________ Burlington City Ordinance Sec. 27-5. Parades and street events. (a) Parade defined. A parade is any march, pageant, demonstration or procession of any kind in or upon any street, park or other outside public place in the city, except funeral processions organized by a licensed mortician. Street event defined. A street event is any community function, ceremony, show, exhibition, display or celebration of any kind in or upon any street, park or other public place in the city. A block party that is confined to a city block and involves primarily the residents of that block shall be considered a street event. (b) Permit required; grounds for refusal. No person shall engage in, participate in, form or start any parade or street event without a permit issued therefor by the chief of police or his or her designee. No permit shall be granted unless a request for such is made at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to its occurrence. A requested parade or street event permit may be refused by the police chief for any of the following reasons: (1) Another public event requiring the presence of police officers has been previously scheduled for the time requested, and in the judgment of the chief of police additional officers could not be assigned to the requested parade or street event without endangering the public safety and welfare; or (2) The parade or street event is requested for a time which would result in severe traffic congestion or interfere with the quiet of a neighborhood during normal sleeping hours. For purposes of this paragraph, the period between 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. of any one day shall be regarded as periods of severe traffic congestion; and the period between 9:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. the following day shall be regarded as normal sleeping hours. (3) A parade, or other event on Church Street between Main and Pearl Streets has previously been scheduled for the time requested and the chief of police determines, after consulting with the administrator of the Church Street Marketplace District, that the two (2) events cannot occur simultaneously without endangering public health, safety and welfare. (4) Those requesting a permit for a block party have not presented a waiver form signed by at least three-quarters ( 3/4) of block residents who thereby waive their right of normal access to the street for the period of the block party. (c) Contents of permit; authority to issue for another time. Any permit issued pursuant to this section shall specify the time and place of such parade. If the permit is refused pursuant to this section, it shall be granted for any other requested time which does not violate this section. (d) In addition, the following limitations on block parties may be incorporated as conditions of the permit: (1) There shall be no more invited guests than the number of block residents in attendance. (2) No alcohol shall be dispensed or consumed on public property. (3) No live bands. (4) Amplified sound to be controlled so as not to carry beyond the property lines of houses adjacent to the block where the party is being held.
