(C) The Board, in its discretion, may require that an outdoor mass gathering comply with all or portions of the Marion County Noise Ordinance if the Board determines that doing so is necessary to preserve the comfort and repose of neighboring residents. The applicant states sound amplification will be used during the day for announcements and there will be background music in the vendor area. The applicant states there will be no sound after 11:00 pm on Friday, 11:00 pm on Saturday, or 3:00 pm Sunday. Quiet period will be enforced by on-site security. There is a residence within 1,000 feet of the event area. However, it appears that noise will not continue past 11:00 pm at night. Therefore, as conditioned, it is unlikely that the event will violate the County Noise Ordinance. MCC 9.25.150 is satisfied.

MCC 9.25.160 can be satisfied through conditions of approval. MCC 9.25.170: Enforcement (A) The Organizer shall keep a reasonable count of persons and vehicles entering and leaving the outdoor mass gathering. (B) If at any time during the outdoor mass gathering held under a valid permit, the number of persons or vehicles attending the outdoor mass gathering exceeds by 10 percent or more the number of persons or vehicles estimated in the permit application, the Sheriff, or any Sheriff’s deputy, has the authority to require the Organizer to limit further admissions until a sufficient number of individuals or vehicles have left the site to bring the actual attendance down to the number estimated by the Organizer. (C) For any outdoor mass gathering held under a valid permit, the County Sheriff has the authority to order the crowd to disperse and leave the outdoor mass gathering site if the Organizer cannot maintain order and compliance with all applicable state and local laws or refuses to maintain order and compliance with state and local laws or refuses or is unable to adhere to the terms and conditions of the permit. (D) In addition to state law provisions in ORS Chapter 433, including ORS 433.770(1), Marion County Legal Counsel may maintain an action in any court of general jurisdiction to prevent, restrain, or enjoin any violation of ORS 433.745. (E) If the organizer fails to remove all debris or residue from the event site or adjacent property within 72 hours after termination time of the event, or fails to remove all temporary structures within three weeks after the termination time of the event, any county code enforcement officer may issue citations to any organizer of the event. The county code enforcement officers may also issue citations to any persons who have left behind debris at the site or on adjacent property. (F) In addition to any other remedies provided, if the outdoor mass gathering site is not restored to its previous condition, or better, the County may arrange for clean up of the site, and then file an action for damages against the organizer and the landowner or successor landowner. (G) If any organizer violates any provisions of this ordinance, the Board may immediately revoke any permit for an outdoor mass gathering and may seek any legal remedy available. MCC 9.25.170 can be satisfied through conditions of approval.
