The director shall approve a facility permit application unless he determines from a consideration of the application or other pertinent information, that any of the following conditions exist:

A. Information contained in the application, or supplemental information requested from the applicant, is found to be false in any material detail;

B. The applicant failed to complete the application form after having been notified of the additional information or documents required;

C. The proposed activity would conflict with a previously planned city-sponsored activity;

D. The applicant refuses to agree in writing to comply with all terms and conditions of the permit;

E. A prior application for a permit to use the same location at a conflicting time has been received and such application has been or will be approved;

F. The nature or size of the activity would be reasonably likely to injure persons or damage park property, or property adjacent to the park; provided, that the director shall not consider the content of expression which is proposed or anticipated at the activity;

G. The proposed activity is prohibited by law;

H. The proposed activity is inconsistent with the purpose for which the facility or park area has been established or designated pursuant to Section 13.28.040;

I. The sole purpose of the activity is advertising or sale of any product, goods, wares or merchandise and is designed to be held for private profit and not for First Amendment expression;

J. That the proposed activity would require the assignment of so great a number of city police officers to properly police the park activity, or areas contiguous thereto, as to prevent normal police protection to the rest of the city. Nothing herein authorizes denial of a permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others, if reasonable permit conditions can be imposed to allow for adequate protection of event participants with the number of police officers available to police the event. The determination as to whether a park permit shall be denied for this ground shall be made by the chief of police after conferring with the director. Whenever a park application is denied, the director shall state the grounds for denial in writing.
