A. For the purpose of regulating the sale of alcohol beverages, the town clerk, upon application made to it in the prescribed form, may issue and grant to the applicant those licenses to sell alcohol beverages that the local licensing authority is authorized to issue pursuant to title 44, Colorado Revised Statutes, as they currently exist or may hereafter be amended, to issue a festival permit.

B. A separate local festival permit is required for each festival. No more than nine (9) permits may be issued to a single licensee during a twelve (12) month period.

C. The town clerk may impose reasonable conditions upon a festival permit.

D. If a licensee is applying for both a special event permit under title 4, chapter 13, and a festival permit under this section of the Code, the licensee does not need a separate festival permit from the town clerk.

E. The town clerk may deny a festival permit application including for: a documented history of violations; the filing of an incomplete or late application; a finding that the application, if granted, would result in violation of state or local laws, rules, or regulations.

F. An applicant may appeal the denial to the town manager for a final decision, which is then subject to appeal in accordance with Rule 106(a)(4) of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. (Ord. 15, Series 2022)
