A special event permit allows short-term activities that might not meet the normal development or use standards of the applicable zoning district, but may otherwise be acceptable because of their temporary nature.

Some examples of event elements that would require a Special Event Permit are partial street closures, full sidewalk closures, electrical generators, temporary structures, an event footprint that occupies multiple storefronts, significant impacts created in a parking lot or open-air space, traffic, noise, and/or safety. The collective impact of event elements may also trigger a Special Event Permit. 

Each business in the City of West Hollywood is allowed to have 12 Special Event Permits per calendar year.  Businesses must submit a Special Event Permit Application for each proposed event.  Some examples of events that would require a Special Event Permit are: a cocktail party at a retail store, a premiere party with live music or temporary valet, a walk-a-thon, a pet adoption, a sidewalk sale, an after-party with food trucks, and many more

Please note that all Special Event Permits are discretionary and submitting a Special Event Permit Application does not guarantee the approval of an event. Only after a business has satisfactorily fulfilled all of the City’s requirements and the Special Event Permit Application has been approved by all applicable parties will the Special Event Permit be deemed approved.
