The parade, motorcade or public assembly is of a size or nature that requires the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the Village to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto that allowing the parade, motorcade or public assembly would deny reasonable police protection to the Village.
Such parade, motorcade or public assembly will interfere with another parade, motorcade or public assembly for which a permit has been issued.
