1. A.
   Type 1 Special Events are exterior events and activities that are open to and promoted to the public for fund-raising or non-commercial events for nonprofit religious, educational, political, community-service or neighborhood support organizations held on private property owned, leased or utilized by the sponsoring organization as a permanent facility; including events sponsored by and contained within the boundaries of a homes association or neighborhood organization recognized by the City. Examples include, but are not limited to, speakers, services, classes, programs or similar events. Type 1 Special Events require a Special Event Permit.
2. B.
   Type 1 Special Event Permits may be approved administratively by the Planning & Development Services Department provided that: 

   1. 1.
      No more than 4 Special Event Permits of any type are issued per location per calendar year;
   2. 2.
      The Special Event duration does not exceed 10 days; and
   3. 3.
      City staff determines that the impact on adjacent properties is likely to be minimal given the hours of operation, the nature of the activities, the size of anticipated attendance, and the anticipated noise level.

Type 1 Special Event Permits that are not approved administratively may be reviewed and approved by the Governing Body with whatever limits or restrictions they deem appropriate, provided, consideration is taken to:

1. 1. 1.
      Minimize impact to neighboring properties (hours of operation, the nature of the activities, the size of anticipated attendance, and the anticipated noise level); and
   2. 2.
      Be consistent with the aesthetic and operational guidelines adopted by the City.
