The Mayor shall have caused an inspection to be made of the premises where such carnival or circus is proposed to be held in order to determine whether such premises are suitable for the purpose and free from dangerous or hazardous features, and the Mayor shall have made any additional inspection and/or investigation that he shall deem necessary in order to determine whether or not a permit shall be granted. The Mayor may recommend to the Manager that a permit be refused on account of the existence of any unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous condition, or because he shall have determined that the proposed location is unsuitable on account of the creation of a traffic hazard, the lack of accommodations for the number of persons and/or vehicles likely to be attracted thereto, or the creation of unnecessary annoyance to the residents or inhabitants of the locality. Such permit may be granted conditionally, dependent upon the taking of stipulated action by the holder thereof in order to meet standards of sanitation and safety.
