A.

1. The sale or offering for sale of any goods or personal property, including but not limited to food, candy, confections, programs, books, pictures, tickets, records, tee shirts, lights and other novelties, or any and all other articles of personal property whatsoever by any person, is prohibited, within the area specified by this subsection on any date whereon an event has been duly scheduled in the Ascend Amphitheater. The prohibition includes all times used for preparation and removal of any material before and after the event and all times during the event. 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 Ascend Amphitheater, and more particularly described as follows:

 Beginning at the northwest corner of Demonbreun Street and First Avenue South and proceeding in a southerly direction along the eastern margin and sidewalk of First Avenue South adjacent to the Ascend Amphitheater to the northeast corner of the intersection of Korean Veterans Boulevard and First Avenue South, thence proceeding in an east-northeasterly direction along the northern margin and sidewalk of Korean Veterans Boulevard to the Cumberland River.

2.

This subsection 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.

C.

Any person violating any of the provision of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than fifty dollars. Each sale or offering for sale which occurs in violation of this section shall be deemed a separate offense.
