§ 78-406.5. Additional operational requirements for special event parking.

To effectuate the purposes of this division, owners/operators of special event parking must comply with the following operational requirements any time special event parking is provided for the public:

(a)

Operators of special event parking shall comply with all traffic and pedestrian safety management plans, as may be amended from time to time, as dictated by public safety officials. Public safety shall communicate changes as known to the person responsible as designated in section 78-406.4(f)(5);

(b)

On the day of a special event, a temporary sandwich-board sign must be displayed in the special event parking area near each entrance to the parking area in the location(s) shown on the parking site plan. The sign copy area must be at least 18 inches high and 24 inches wide (but no larger than 24 inches by 36 inches) with a maximum height from grade to the top of the sign of four feet, including a parking symbol, at least ten inches in height designated by the county, and include the following wording with the blanks filled in appropriately: "Special Event Parking Lot, Parking Fee $ ____________ , Registration # ____________ , Operator Phone # ____________ - ____________ - ____________ ." The parking fee must be in a font that is at least six inches in height. When the lot is full, a "lot full" sign must be displayed that is visible from the street. The sign is a traffic management device and a display of registration, so no other wording is permitted on the front of the sign. The sign must be of a durable material, such as plastic, metal, wood, or like material, and must be professionally fabricated and maintained in good repair. A sign permit is not required for this sign, which may be displayed four hours prior to the event and must be removed two hours after completion of the special event. The parking symbol, the wording, and the fee must be visible from the adjacent street. The parking fee must remain the same throughout the day of the special event unless decreased, and the amount charged for parking must not exceed the amount stated on the sign. The sign must be visible on the special event parking area from the time cars are admitted for the special event parking until the property has been cleaned of litter at the end of the special event.

(c)

The special event parking registration and parking plan must be available for immediate on-site inspection by county staff or public safety officials.

(d)

The special event parking area must be paved, striped, and lit in compliance with standards prescribed by county ordinances and development standards for parking areas. Vehicles must be parked on approved surfaces and in compliance with the parking plan.

(e)

The special event parking area must be staffed by at least one attendants, representative, or other responsible party capable who shall remain on the lot from the time the operator begins accepting payment for parking until one hour after the end of the event. Said attendant/representative shall be capable of acting on behalf of the owner/operator in interactions with county officials. Attendants must be easily identifiable by uniform clothing indicating that they are employed to provide special event parking. During night time hours, reflective vests shall also be required to be worn by all attendants. Attendants shall guide vehicles in and out of the parking area and monitor the special event parking area.

(f)

The owner/operator must provide clean up service to remove litter, trash, junk, or other debris found throughout the special event parking area. Clean up service shall be completed within two hours of the end of the special event.

(g)

Operators of accessory special event parking shall comply with all traffic management plans for the major tourist attraction.

(h)

Special event parking must be operated in compliance with this division and any conditions set forth on the special event parking registration or in the traffic and pedestrian safety management plan.
