Houston City Council has approved stricter requirements for large outdoor music events on private property.
The ordinance aims to improve safety regulations and hold organizers accountable if the event gets out of hand. Organizers of outdoor music events with more than 500 people held on private property will now have to submit the details of their safety, security, staffing, traffic plans and emergency contact information to the city at least 60 days prior. The permit application will cost a fee and those who don't comply could be fined up to $2000.
Council member Mike Knox proposed an amendment to apply the ordinance to all outdoor events, but later revoked it after failing to garner support. "Things don’t end up wrong, they start off wrong. So, if you have the right protocols in place before the show even starts, then you have crowd maintenance. If you don’t, you have to go into crowd control, that’s a whole different set of problems," said Peter Remington.
