#702 - COMMISSION AUTHORITY 1. The Commission may waive the requirement for a park pass, or it may close any state park or state recreation area, or portions thereof, whenever it finds the action necessary to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people of this state. SPECIAL ACTIVITIES #703 - SPECIAL ACTIVITIES REQUIRING PERMITS 1. “Special activities” means those noncommercial events which have the potential for an adverse impact on park values or health, safety or welfare of park visitors or which may otherwise require special planning/scheduling for proper management. Special activities shall require prior approval in the form of a special-activities permit. Applications thereof generally shall be made to the Park Manager at least ninety (90) days prior to the event. Such application must be accompanied by the appropriate application filing fee. This requirement for an application to be filed ninety days prior to an event will be waived in rare circumstances where arrangements can be made in a shorter time without putting undue administrative burden on the Park Manager or when no special arrangements are necessary.

2. The decision of whether to approve special activity permits will be made by the Park Manager when it is determined that the special activities will not involve the use of a park or recreation area by a group of persons totaling more than the park or recreation area's established carrying capacity. Otherwise, the Regional Manager shall make the decision of whether to approve the permits. The decision of whether to approve special activities permits will be based on the impact on park values and/or the health, safety and welfare of park visitors and other affected persons, and also will be based on:

a. The nature of the park or recreation area and the types of recreational opportunities/resources it is intended to provide the public b. The carrying capacity of the facility or facilities to be utilized during the special activity compared to:

1. (1) The total number of park visitors (including participants and spectators in the special activity) expected to utilize such facilities; and (2) The total number of vehicles, vessels or persons expected to participate in or be attracted to such activities.

c. The extent to which the special activity will contribute to the variety of outdoor recreational opportunities available to the people of this state and its visitors.

d. The extent to which the activity places an administrative burden on the staff of the park area.

3. Whenever it is determined that any special activity will involve the use of a park or recreation area by a group of persons totaling more than the park's or recreation area's established carrying capacity a thirty day written public comment period and a public meeting shall be required prior to the granting of a permit. The Park Manager shall publish notice of both the written comment period and the meeting at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or counties wherein said park or recreation area is located. The meeting shall be conducted by the Division representative responsible for the permit issuance decision and shall be held either at the park or recreation area, or within a county in which the park or recreation area is located. Such public meeting is not intended to be an adjudicatory licensing hearing under the provisions of the Colorado Administrative Procedures Act, but only as an opportunity for public comment.

4. An application for a permit shall be acted upon promptly, and the applicant shall be notified immediately after the taking of action on the application. If the application is denied, the applicant shall be notified in writing within five working days of such action. Such written notification shall include the basis for the denial. The applicant may submit a written appeal of a denial to the Division Director within sixty days of receipt of the denial, requesting a hearing pursuant to section 24-4-104(9), C.R.S., If the date of the proposed special activity is to occur within the sixty day appeal period, then the applicant shall submit any written appeal as soon as practicable so as to allow a reasonable time for the Director to act upon the appeal. Absent special circumstances justifying a later submittal and depending upon the nature of the proposed special activity and the amount of preparation required on the part of the Division for such activity, generally an appeal submitted less than twenty-five days prior to the proposed special activity will be deemed untimely.

5. Upon written request, the Division shall waive the requirement for a parks pass for those vehicles when all the occupants are entering state recreation areas and state parks for the purpose of administering permitted special activities and not for the purpose of their own recreation.

6. For special activities where the Division representative responsible for the permit issuance decision determines it will be a greater administrative ease for the Division to administer the activity, an alternative fee of $2.00 per person per day may be charged for admission of persons attending or participating in the special activity. This permission shall apply only to groups of twenty or more persons.

7. Nothing in this regulation impairs the specific authority of the Commission pursuant to 33-10- 107(1)(d) C.R.S. to enter into cooperative agreements for the development and promotion of Division programs, or the general authority of the Commission pursuant to 33-10-106 C.R.S. to manage all state recreation areas and state parks for both commercial and noncommercial purposes. The authority granted to park managers and regional managers is intended to allow them to address events of limited and local impact, and is specifically intended to coexist with, and not to exclude, the Commission’s statutory authorities.
