15.52.040 - Special event permits required A. A special event permit or authorization from the Special Events Committee is required for any special event, as defined in this Chapter 15.52. Such special event permit or authorization shall be in addition to any street or park use permit, parade permit, Seattle Center permit or agreement, or other regular permits as may be required by ordinance. B. To avoid duplication, when a special event permit covers the subject matter to their satisfaction, the Director of Transportation and/or as to parks, park drives and boulevards, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, respectively, may waive issuing a separate street use permit or park use permit. C. When a special event permit is required, no street use permit shall issue under this Title 15, nor shall a park use permit issue pursuant to Title 18, for such an event until the Special Events Committee has issued its special event permit therefor or otherwise authorized the issuance of the departmental permits, unless pursuant to subsection 15.52.040.B the Director and/or the Superintendent waive issuance of separate permits. D. When a special event permit is required, the Special Events Committee shall, after reviewing the application and if necessary meeting with the organizer, advise the organizer of all other permits that appear to be required for the event based on information contained in the application, assisting the organizer in contacting other departments to apply for all other permits in a timely manner. E. When such an event will be a free speech event or mixed free speech event, the application shall be processed promptly.
