<br /> <br /> <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Events Permit Guide <br />November 16, 2021 6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />This Guide assists event organizers in developing successful event plans that comply <br />with local, state, and federal codes, laws, policies and regulations governing activities <br />associated with the production and management of special events. The City Manager’s <br />Office (CMO) or designee (SAMC 10-22) manages the event permit process. Various <br />city departments, along with partner agencies may have regulatory authority related to <br />elements in an event application and participate in the review process. This provides a <br />coordinated approach to the planning, review, and on -site management of events. The <br />permit process is as follows: <br />A. Application Submittal <br />Applicant completes an event permit application, site plan, traffic plan and <br />additional supporting documentation for the corresponding departments no earlier <br />than six (6) months before and no later than 45 business days prior to event. <br />Submittal of the permit application or initiation of the review process does not deem <br />the permit application approved, nor should an event producer begin to advertise or <br />execute their event without final written approval from the reviewing agency. <br />Applications submitted within the 45 business day guidelines may be denied or may <br />be subject to expedited processing fees. <br /> <br />Expected attendance for events includes total participants and/or spectators, <br />vendors, exhibitors, staffing, etc. Major special events will take precedence over <br />moderate and minor special event dates. <br /> <br />Table 1 - Park Facility Permit Categories <br /> <br />A permit application shall be submitted no earlier than 180 days for larger scale <br />Special Events that require comprehensive event details and coordination (SMAC <br />10-22.2) <br /> <br />At the sole discretion of the City of Santa Ana, event producers may submit written <br />amendments to the initial permit application due to unique or changing <br />circumstances related to the event. <br />PARK FACILITY <br />PERMIT <br />CATEGORY <br />EXPECTED <br />ATTENDANCE APPLICATION SUBMITTAL DEADLINE <br />MAJOR 1,001 and Up Between ninety- (90) business days to one (1) <br />year prior to the event date. <br />MODERATE 100 – 1,000 Between forty-five (45) business days and six <br />(6) months prior to the event date.
