§ 16-6. Low-impact activity standards.

In addition to the general standards, the following minimum standards shall be met in order to be permitted as a low-impact activity. Due to the varying requirements of media productions and the nature of the industry, these standards are not intended to be all inclusive and additional conditions may be reasonably imposed, as warranted, to minimize anticipated adverse effects.

(1)

Low-impact activity permits may be extended by the zoning administrator, for reasonable cause, provided a daily filming fee shall apply. A single application shall include all locations for the same production within the county. Application shall be made no less than two to five (2—5) business days prior to the first scheduled event or day of filming. The permit shall be available, on location, at all times while production activity is occurring and shown to county inspectors upon request.

(2)

Normal hours of activity shall be 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily; all preparation and wrap-up shall occur within one (1) hour of this time frame. Noise shall be kept to a minimum.

(3)

No street closure, obstruction or interference with normal traffic flow, including pedestrian use of sidewalks and public rights-of-way shall occur, including use of on-street parking spaces or parking in alleys or side streets.

(4)

Facilities and locations to be used for base camp, food service, and parking shall be approved as a condition of the permit; any other required permit(s) shall be obtained prior to issuance of the permit under this chapter.
