Recommendation and Review

To consider amending Section 15-3-2 to add several definitions, including the definition of mass outdoor social gathering, amend requirements related to large party nuisance to make requirements applicable all day instead of from 10pm to 7am. Enact a new ordinance, Section 15-3-3 regulating mass outdoor social gatherings.  This section will require a permit for outdoor parties at which more than 100 people are invited, expected, or actually attend and in which sound amplifying equipment is used.
