Pertaining to Special Events.
The purpose of this Code change is to make the special event application process friendlier
to the citizens applying for permits. The amendments to the Code will allow enough time for
event organizers to meet conditions of the special event permit including the appeal process,
if necessary, prior to the event occurring. It also allows the City time to provide confirmed
services (such as review and acceptance from Fire Authority, Liquor Authority and Traffic
Operations) to the organizers for planning of the event. The added time equates to increases
in the City's ability to coordinate information with the organizer regarding other needed
permits or issues that may arise during their event. In general, this change helps the City
provide better and timely information and services to the community and citizens availing
themselves of the special event process. There is no financial impact.

The present City 100-year floodplain boundary near Trilby Road and the Union Pacific
Railroad right-of-way encompasses 105 homes presently constructed in the Paragon Point
and Stanton Creek subdivisions. All 105 of these homes,will be removed from the 100-year
floodplain by the construction of two (2) 120-inch diameter culverts through the Union
Pacific Railroad embankment on Fossil Creek, just south of Trilby Road. In addition, the
risk of a catastrophic failure of the railroad embankment and resulting damage to homes
downstream will be reduced. The collateral effect of these new culverts through the railroad
embankment will cause an increased 100-year floodplain impact to two (2) landowners
downstream of those new culverts. City staff has conducted several meetings and
communications with the landowners and will continue these efforts into the future in order
