SUBJECT: Consideration of a tent permit applicati n by the Chamber of Commerce for the "SLO EXPO" event in the Mission Plaza. CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving the tent permit request. DISCUSSION The Chamber of Commerce sponsors an annual "SLO EXPO" event in the Mission Plaza. the Chamber wants to use a tent to house food booths for this year's event, to make it easier to comply with Health Department requirements. The tent would be 20' by 40', located near the trellis structure across from the Mission steps. The event will occur on one day only, Saturday, September 21, 1991. A street closure permit and park facility use permit are also required for Plaza events, and have already been approved by appropriate staff. Chapter 15.24 of the Municipal Code (Buildings and Construction: Tents; attached) requires Council approval of a tent permit when a tent is to be used for an assembly involving ten or more people. The Council may approve a tent permit based on a finding that it "would not be detrimental to the public safety, interest or welfare". Otherwise, the permit shall be denied. The tent ordinance also requires inspection and approval of the tent by the Building Official, Fire Marshal and Health Officer. These officials have reviewed the tent plans, and support the application. ALTERNATIVES The council may deny the tent permit. The denial would result in the cancellation of food booths for this year's SLO EXPO.
