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 still be limited
to two weeks.
