Burbank Municipal Code Art. 23 Temporary Closing of Streets

6-1-2301: PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AUTHORIZED TO GRANT PERMITS:

The Public Works Director may, with the concurrence of the Police Chief or their designee, issue a permit to temporarily close and use a portion of any street under the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the City for the purpose of holding celebrations, parades, special events and other activities where in their opinion such closing is necessary for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during the temporary closing.

The Public Works Director, with concurrence of the Police Chief or their designee, may permit the temporary closing of a street only when the use for which the portion of the street is closed serves a public interest or is of such a casual, temporary or occasional nature that it will not unduly interfere with the public use thereof.
