The Irvine Municipal Code defines a “special event” as any temporary event not exceeding 30 days (except Christmas tree sales, which may endure for a period not to exceed 45 days), whether indoors or outdoors, or on improved or unimproved property, which is inconsistent with either the zone in which the subject property is located, the uses to which the property may legally be put, or the occupancy levels permitted thereon. “Special events” shall also refer to any activity that may result in the closure of any public streets, or any activities, which may temporarily require the installation of materials or devices using building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, flammable or similar materials. “Special events” may include, but are not limited to, certain outdoor, short-term events such as walkathons, marathon runs, cycling events, and sporting events, or any combination thereof.
