The City of Plano Ordinance requires a Special Event Permit for a temporary gathering or organized activity, including but not limited to parades, bike races, marathons, walk-a-thons, fireworks displays, concerts, carnivals, or other types of races and festivals,
USING CITY OWNED PROPERTY, INVOLVING 50 OR MORE PERSONS
and which involves one or more of the following activities: - Closing a public street
- Blocking or restriction of city owned property
- Sale of merchandise, food or beverages on city owned property
- Erection of a tent on city owned property
- Installation of a stage, band shell, trailer, van, portable building, grandstand or bleachers on city owned property
- Placement of portable toilets on city owned property
- Placement of temporary no-parking signs in a public right-of-way
- Placement of pedestrian boundary markers on city owned property, or
- Installation and/or assembly of any amusement ride, as defined by the Texas Department of Insurance, on city owned property. Examples of amusement rides would include carnival rides, bounce houses, climbing walls and mini-trains.
A Special Event Permit Preliminary Application is necessary to begin the planning process in cooperation with city services such as police, fire, health, and risk management. The Preliminary application may be filed as much as six months prior to the event.
A Special Event Permit Final Application must be completed at least 20 days before the event in order to assure time for city processing. Much of the information in this application may have already been included in the Preliminary application making this step easier.
