§ 1150-050. STANDARDS OF ISSUANCE

The issuance of a permit by the Development Services Department Director shall be a determination by the Development Services Department Director that the temporary street closing is necessary for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during such temporary closing. A permit may be denied or revoked by the Development Services Department Director, when, from a consideration of the application or from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, the Development Services Department Director finds that one or more of the following circumstances exist:

(1)

The applicant has knowingly and with intent to deceive made any false, misleading or fraudulent statements of a material fact in the application for a permit or in any other document required pursuant to this article;

(2)

The applicant has failed to pay in advance any fee required, or refuses to agree to such conditions as are imposed in the permit;

(3)

The time, duration, size and location of the temporary street closure will substantially disrupt the orderly and safe movement of other traffic;

(4)

The temporary street closure is of a size or nature that will require the diversion of so great a number of law enforcement officers of the County to properly police the closed or contiguous areas, that it will adversely effect normal police protection to the remainder of the unincorporated territory of the County;

(5)

The concentration of persons will unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such street closure;

(6)

The temporary street closure may unduly interfere with the movement of emergency police and fire equipment;

(7)

The temporary street closure will unduly interfere with the orderly operation of parks, hospitals, churches, schools or other public and quasi-public institutions in the unincorporated territory of the County; or

(8)

The temporary street closure will conflict with or interfere with another temporary street closure for which a permit has been granted.
