Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2013-054 allowing a "Temporary Carnival" per Ordinance No. 1770 for the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Annual Parish Fall Festival, located at 2800 Valwood Parkway, to be held on October 4, 2013 and October 5, 2013, and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 1770 allows a "Temporary Carnival or Circus" in all zoning districts if prior approval is granted by passage of a resolution of the City Council for such use.
Attached is a request submitted by Father Michael Forge with the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, located at 2800 Valwood Parkway, requesting permission to host their 11th Annual Parish Fall Festival to be held on October 4, 2013 and October 5, 2013, which will include the use of an outdoor amplified PA system.

Last year, approval was granted to host the Fall Festival, with a provision in the resolution allowing for the use of an outdoor amplified PA system until 6:00 p.m. on Friday, and until 9:00 p.m. on Saturday. This provision does not allow the event to violate the City's Noise Ordinance, which provides that "no person shall make or cause to be made any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise in the City which is offensive to the ordinary sensibilities of the inhabitants of the city..."
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends adopting Resolution No. 2013-054 allowing a "Temporary Carnival" per Ordinance No. 1770 for the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Annual Parish Fall Festival to be held on October 4, 2013 and October 5, 2013.
