PASSED

The enacted measure requires sponsors of primarily commercial planned events to obtain a permit when an event is expected to attract significantly more people than the premises can safely hold and may substantially increase the need for fire prevention, police, traffic control, crowd control, or other public services. It sets permit requirements and allows fines and enforcement against sponsors who hold such events without a permit.

Amending Title 9 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Regulation of Businesses, Trades and Professions," to require the sponsors of a "planned event" held at any premises to obtain a permit for such event if, because it is expected to attract significantly more persons than may be accommodated within the safe occupancy limits of the premises, the event may reasonably be expected to require a substantial increase in the need for fire prevention, police, traffic control, crowd control, or other public services; and providing for penalties and enforcement; all under certain terms and conditions.
