HomeMy WebLinkAboutBack-Up from Law DeptSec. 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.
