The purposes of this article are to establish a one-stop permitting process for motion
photography production endeavors on public property owned or controlled by or under
the jurisdiction of the city, to provide a means so that acts otherwise prohibited
by this Code may be allowed during productions, and to provide for an exemption from
other Code permit requirements in recognition of the beneficial economic impact of
the motion picture and television industry, while holding paramount the quiet enjoyment
of property by, and the economic wellbeing of, the citizens and business owners of
the city.
