Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2019-121 allowing a temporary carnival for the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church Annual Parish Fall Festival, located at 2800 Valwood Parkway, to be held on October 5, 2019; and take appropriate action
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 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.
A request was submitted by Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, located at 2800 Valwood Parkway, requesting permission to host their 2019 Annual Fall Festival on October 5, 2019 which will include the use of an outdoor amplified PA system.
DISCUSSION:
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 9:00 p.m. on Saturday. The same provision has been included in the proposed resolution. 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:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2019-121.
ACTIONS:
1. Motion to approve Resolution No. 2019-121.
2. Motion to approve Resolution No. 2019-121 with the following modifications…
3. Motion to deny Resolution No. 2019-121.
4. Motion to table the issue for further study or take no action.
