§ 6.32.010. Nashville Convention Center—Area regulations.

A.

The sale or offering for sale of any goods or personal property is prohibited, within areas specified in this subsection, on any date whereon an event or show has been duly scheduled in the Nashville Convention Center. The prohibition includes all times necessary for preparation and removal of any material before and after any such event or show. Such sale or offering for sale of goods or personal property is prohibited upon the streets and sidewalks in the area of the metropolitan government surrounding the Nashville Convention Center, and more particularly described as follows:

Beginning at the northwest corner of Broadway and Seventh Avenue North and proceeding in a northeasterly direction along the northerly margin and sidewalk of Broadway adjacent to the Convention Center of Broadway to the northwest corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue North, thence proceeding in a northwesterly direction along the westerly margin and sidewalk of Fifth Avenue adjacent to the Convention Center to the western side of the intersection of Fifth Avenue North and Commerce Street, thence proceeding in a southwesterly direction along the northern and southern margins and sidewalks of Commerce Street to the easterly side of the intersection of Commerce Street and Fifth Avenue North.

Provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to individuals soliciting for a bona fide charitable or religious purpose when such individual or organization shall have been approved and granted either a charitable solicitations permit or a religious registration by the metropolitan charitable solicitations board, or when such individual or organization shall have been exempted from any such requirements. Nor shall the provisions of this section apply to any individuals while in the process of exercising any lawful right of speech or assembly protected by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Tennessee.

B.

The provisions of this section shall not be construed to limit, abridge or otherwise abrogate any other requirement established by any other ordinance concerning licenses or permits which may be required to be obtained before any such sale or offering for sale of any goods referenced in subsection A of this section which may take place. Should the requirements of this section be more stringent than the requirements of any other ordinance which may relate to the sale or offering for sale of any goods referenced in subsection A of this section and within the area in which such sale or offering for sale is proscribed, then the provisions of this section shall prevail.
