EPURA - Discussion of Amendment to C-D Regulation to Permit Entertainment in Riverside Plaza as a Municipal Use In a memorandum dated March 31, 1988, the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority requested the Planning Commission modify the C-D zoning provisions to permit entertainment in Riverside Plaza as a municipal use. Planner Stamey advised the Planning Commission that in the C-D District, all activities must be contained within a building. This standard would also apply to uses in Riverside Plaza. The zoning ordinance could be amended to exclude municipal uses from this standard. Mr. Art Anderson addressed the Commission regarding this request. He stated the new downtown park/plaza area has been designed around the confluence of the Fall and Big Thompson Rivers with the potential to accommodate enter tainers.

Acts involving fire, throwing of knives or non-domesticated animals would not be allowed, nor would soliciting be allowed. Commisioner Blair asked about control of litter and open containers and was advised that the Town of Estes Park has an "open container" law prohibiting open containers of beer, etc. on the streets and in parks.
