Sec. 62-521. - Temporary events in general.
(a) Temporary events are those events of limited duration, open to a large number of people. An
event which would require a temporary event permit is an event which is not one of the
authorized uses of a property, and is an event which is not included as a customary, primary, or
ancillary use as identified in its certificate of use. Any use of the property already included in the
certificate of use for that property will not require a separate event permit. For those properties
that do not require certificates of use, such as one- or two-family homes, it is an event that is
over 100 people and impacts traffic and access to the public right-of-way.
(1) A temporary event can occur on private property, public property, or in a
combination of public and private properties that would require special review by
the city.
(2) Temporary event permits will delineate all other temporary uses included for the
event, i.e., tents, temporary structures, barricades, fencing, and the like, necessary
for the event.
(3) A temporary event permit would not be required for an event hosted by the city on
its property.
(4) This section does not apply to a temporary sign or banner that is erected in relation
to a temporary or special event as contemplated by division 8 of this article. Any
such sign or banner must be permitted pursuant to division 8 of this section and the
criteria stated therein, in order to be erected.
(b) Where a temporary event, including but not limited to, a carnival, party, block party,
neighborhood celebration event, festival, fair, farmer's market, outdoor sales, or similar type of
event is permissible on privately owned or public property by a temporary event permit, the
event shall be subject to the following:
(1) Temporary events, which include mechanical rides, are permissible only on
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and/or legal holidays, unless other days
are approved by the city commission. Otherwise, on all other days, these events shall
be permitted only at Watson Island, Virginia Key and Bicentennial Park and the
facilities and parking lots of Miami Marine Stadium, and the Marlin's Stadium.
(2) Temporary events, which do not include mechanical rides, are permissible on any
day of the week.
(3) No more than two temporary events shall be permitted, each for a maximum
duration of two weeks, on private property per year. No more than ten temporary
events shall be permitted, each for a maximum durations of two weeks, on public
property per year, unless approved by the city commission.
(4) The limitation on the number of temporary events may be waived by an affirmative
vote of the city commission for the calendar year affected. Each permit, however, will
