The City of Colorado Springs has a rich history of community pride and involvement. It is appropriate to take time to gather as a community to recognize, celebrate and honor the accomplishments, contributions and privileges of our citizens and our community. The use of public property is often necessary to accommodate the size or type of special events and also provides unique venues for expression and entertainment. It is the purpose of this part to establish an administrative special event permit program that will facilitate the success of these special events, protect the free speech activities of participants and spectators and promote and preserve the public health, safety and welfare.
It is Council's intent to protect the rights of its citizens to engage in protected free speech expression activities while providing a coordinated process for the regulation of special events. Reasonable time, place and manner regulation of special events ensures the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this City and the impact that special events have on public and private facilities and services. Regulation of special events protects the privileges and interests granted to the holder of a special event permit and provides a mechanism for effective management of City assets and resources, and for City cost recovery and revenue sharing for special events.
