(2) Special event permit application has already been approved to hold another special event at the same time requested by the applicant or so close in time as to cause undue traffic congestion, or to create a situation where the city is unable to meet the needs to provide for law enforcement and other city services for both special events. (3) The special event is of a size or nature that requires the diversion of too many law enforcement officers to properly police the event site and contiguous areas, and/or that allowing the special event would unreasonably deny law enforcement protection to the remainder of the city and its residents.

(5) The location of the special event will interfere with a construction or maintenance work scheduled to take place upon or along public property or right-of-way.
