               The purpose of this chapter is to establish a structured process for permitting the
               staging of special planned public events, and/or television and film activities to
               ensure proper planning and adequate allocation of county resources for events and
               to protect the health and safety of the public attending such events.

               This chapter will not apply to events sponsored by local, state or federal government
               agencies, or schools, colleges or universities located in the county, as planning
               for events and allocation of necessary resources is already coordinated. This chapter
               shall not apply to regular church or worship activities or events. This chapter shall
               not apply to businesses holding events in venues designated to hold large numbers
               of people, where there is already a safety and emergency plan approved by the county.

               When it is determined that an event does not meet the threshold of requiring a permit,
               but notification of emergency first responders is recommended, the planning department
               will forward the information to the appropriate agencies.
