SPECIAL EVENTS TASK FORCE - RECOMMENDATION 20220922-4 Seconded By: Date: 9/21/2022 Subject: Recommended Changes to the Special Events Ordinance Motioned By: Recommendation: Modify section Description of Recommendation to Council: The Task Force recommends amending Section 4-20-33 of the Special Events Ordinance to modify subsection (C) and create a new subsection (D). The current subsection D would be re- titled subsection (E). The recommended amendment language is as follows: 4-20-33 (C) In addition to the notice required under Subsection (A), for an event that has been held for 4 years or less, organizer shall provide notice to interested persons and neighborhood associations within 10 calendar days after ACE issues a preliminary recommendation if a special event: no later than 120 days prior to the event start date of a special event: 4-20-33 (D) D – If an event has been held for 5 or more years and has not received a violation or changed its character, nature, location, or route shall provide notice to interested persons and neighborhood associations no later than 30 days in advance of the event. 4-20-33 (D) E Am event organizer may provide the notice required in Subsections (A) and (C) in one document. Rationale: Events that are over five years and have not received violations or changed significantly have different requirements and process than events less than five years old. This language differentiates the requirements between the two event types and updates the Ordinance language to reflect how notification requirements are currently administered by the Austin Transportation Department. 1 of 2  Events Vote For: Against: Abstain: Absent: Attest: Brydan Summers Special Events Task Force Liaison Development Services Department 2 of 2
