§ 9:112. Requirements for permit.

(a)

No permit or license shall be issued to any promoter, place of business or establishment without the applicant having first complied with all of the provisions of the building code, the electrical code, the plumbing code, the fire prevention ordinance, and any and all other applicable regulations set forth hereafter or contained in any of the above ordinances, or any other ordinance or resolution of the city-parish. In the furtherance of this part, the chief of the inspection division is hereby authorized to establish rules and regulations for those applying for permits or licenses under the provisions hereof; and no license or permit shall be issued until all of the necessary information and requirements under such rules and regulations have been furnished to and approved by the inspection division. The inspection division shall require the applicant for a permit under this part to furnish a letter or certificate of compliance or approval from the following:

(1)
From the state health department for the parish that adequate medical, first aid and sanitary facilities are available in accordance with the guidelines for mass gatherings;

(2)
From the sheriff, state police troop"A," or chief of police if in the city, attesting that adequate arrangements have been made for parking, traffic control, security and law enforcement.

(b)

The operator or his agent shall state on the application what the anticipated maximum attendance shall be and may not print more tickets for the event than the anticipated maximum attendance. The building official may require documentation on ticket sales, such as copies of ticket manifests, records, books, etc., to aid in enforcement of this requirement. If advance ticket sales indicate that a larger turnout than originally expected is likely, a revised approval must be obtained from the building official prior to printing additional tickets or allowing cash admission after all tickets are sold. If advance ticket sales, together with any tickets or cash admissions on the day of the event, exceed the number of persons which can be safely assembled with adequate medical and sanitary facilities, parking and assembly area, the building official or his representative shall so advise the promoter, who shall have the obligation of advertising in a reasonable manner that the event is sold out and that no tickets, or no further tickets, will be sold at the gate.
