[Ord. No. 2003-05, § 2;
amended 3-5-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-04]
Any event which is advertised to the public or open to the public, where the event is of a commercial nature and which would result in a public gathering out-of-doors, at a location within the Township, must be in compliance with Subsection 4-1.5 below. Sales from motor vehicles or wheeled vehicles of food items and beverages on private property are permitted only in conjunction with a public gathering, with only two such vehicles permitted on a property at any time, and for a maximum of 24 days each calendar year on any property, subject to the conditions and requirements of Township Code § 4-1.5.
[Ord. No. 2003-05, § 3]
Any event which is advertised to the public or open to the public, where such event is of a noncommercial nature and which would result in a public gathering out-of-doors, at a location within the Township, must be in compliance with Subsection 4-1.4 below.
[Ord. No. 2003-05, § 4]
Any event which can be fairly characterized as a convention, concert, festival or exhibition which is not open to the public, where the event would result in a gathering of persons out-of-doors, within the Township, and where the event will be attended by more than 20 persons in total, must be in compliance with Subsection 4-1.4 below.
[Ord. No. 2003-05, § 5]
The person or organization seeking to hold or sponsor the event shall provide notice of the event to Township at least 45 days prior to the date the event is first scheduled. The notice shall be provided by completing the application set forth in Subsection 4-1.14 and filing it with the Township Clerk along with a $25 application fee which is nonrefundable. Within 15 days of the filing, the Code Officer shall determine whether or not a license is required for this event using the form referenced in Subsection 4-1.14. In making this determination the Code Officer shall consider the number of persons who will attend the event, both in total and at any one time, the location of the event, and whether concerns pertaining to public health, safety and welfare favor invoking the licensing requirement of Subsection 4-1.5. If the Code Officer determines a license is required, then the person seeking to hold or sponsor the event shall be required to comply with Subsection 4-1.5 and file the required application. The Code Officer's determination under this section is not subject to appeal by the person or organization seeking to hold or sponsor the event, but is subject to review by the Governing Body at the discretion of the Mayor or the Governing Body.
[Ord. No. 2003-05, § 6]
If a license is required by Subsection 4-1.1 or by a determination of the Code Officer, then no person shall hold, sponsor or promote the event unless the following requirements are satisfied. At least 30 days before the first scheduled date of the event the person who is sponsoring or holding the event shall apply for a license using the application identified in Subsection 4-1.14. The application shall be filed with the Township Clerk who shall forward it to the Township's Code Enforcement Officer. In deciding whether to approve the application and issue a license, the Code Officer shall consider the following factors:
a.
Whether the applicant provided the information required by the application;
b.
Whether the applicant has made sufficient provisions for parking
and traffic control so as to ensure there is not an unreasonable amount
of congestion on public streets and that such traffic does not present
a danger to public safety and welfare;
c.
Whether the applicant has made adequate provisions regarding sanitary
services for those persons present at the event;
d.
Any public safety or welfare concern which would arise from the number
of people attending the event in relation to the size or topography
of the area where the event is to be held;
e.
Whether the applicant has made reasonable accommodations for emergency
medical treatment for those persons present at the event given the
size and location of the event;
f.
Whether emergency service workers including first responders could
reach the event in a reasonable time. In considering this factor the
Code Officer shall specifically consider whether concerns of public
health and safety require a separate access to the event for emergency
service workers given the event's size and location;
g.
Whether the event given its size, location, duration, time and nature
would unreasonably impact upon neighboring property owners. In considering
this factor the Code Officer may consider such factors as the likelihood
that those attending the event would enter private property or whether
traffic from the event would unreasonably interfere with neighboring
property owners' access to their property; and
h.
Any other factor which is reasonably related to concerns of public
health, safety or welfare.
In determining whether to issue a license, the Code Officer
may consult with local, county, state or federal officials which provide
police or fire services to the Township or officials affiliated with
any state, county or local board of health. The Code Officer may also
consult with volunteer groups such as members of the Volunteer Fire
Department or first responders which provide service to the Township.
The Code Officer shall also have the right by way of consent of the
property owner, which shall be a condition of the application, to
enter onto the property for an inspection.
