No person shall conduct a drag strip, motorcycle race, automobile race or like operation to which the public is invited or admitted, with or without charge for such admission, without first obtaining a written permit from the Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement.

Any person desiring a permit under this Division shall submit, in triplicate, an application to the Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement, signed by the owner of the property, setting out the events intended to be held, the dates of each event and the capacity of the public to be served. Such person shall submit a plat of the property along with a map setting out the street location and indicating on the plat the nearest buildings. The cost of the permit shall be One Dollar ($1.00) for each day of the year that the permittee intends to hold an event, or the permittee may pay an annual fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00).

The Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement shall hold a public hearing on the application prior to its approval. In such event the notice of such hearing shall be advertised in a newspaper having general circulation in the County once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks immediately prior to the hearing. The applicant shall pay the costs of advertising for such public hearing. The Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement may approve and issue such permit, unless it finds that the proposed use of the property will cause a traffic problem detrimental to the use of the general public or that the noise created by the event is an unreasonable invasion on the adjoining property owners, or for other reason that might jeopardize the health, safety or welfare of the area or the County.

The permit issued pursuant to this Division shall be valid for a period of one (1) year from issuance and may be renewed without a public hearing from year to year upon the payment of a fee of One Dollar ($1.00) for each event to be held during the year or the annual fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00). No application shall be filed or considered for a particular location under this Division for a period of one (1) year from the date the original application was denied by the Department of Permitting, Inspections, and Enforcement.
