See Page 2 requirements for street closure due to construction. Application for street closures / special events must be filed with the City and County of Broomfield Community Development Department a minimum of 14 days prior to the event. The application is routed to the Public Works Department, Police Department, Parks Department, and City Traffic Engineer for approval. Use of park areas, open space and trails, consumption or sale of alcoholic beverages or vending of any kind on City property requires additional permits and possible fees through the Recreation Department, City Clerk's Office, and City and County Manager's Office. Notification is also sent to the North Metro Fire Rescue Department. This permit should be used when obstruction in Broomfield right-of-way is needed but a construction permit is not required (tree trimming, crane lift, event parking on street, etc.) Block Parties with the consumption of alcoholic beverages will adhere to Broomfield Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 9-80 Open Container of Alcoholic Beverages. Block parties/special events shall be permitted only between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm for a maximum of six hours in residential areas. Any deviation from this will require permission from the City and County Manager’s Office. All City and County and State laws and ordinances will be obeyed within the areas blockaded; this includes the City and County’s noise ordinance. A statement of permission from the people who live in the area where the block party/special event occurs must be submitted with the application. Every resident or business must be notified of the closure. If the occupant is unavailable, a notice shall be left at the address indicating the street to be closed with the date and hours specified on the notice. If upon the receipt of the statement, a majority of the people who reside along the street affected approve of the request, the reviewing departments will take the request under consideration for final approval. Those not favoring the request will be given every consideration possible. Notification is usually given within five days. A copy of the notification mailer/door hanger must be submitted with the application for all special events (races, parades, etc.). Residents must be allowed vehicle access to their homes. Emergency access must be maintained at all times, and barricades shall be removed immediately for such purposes. The City and County will provide required barricades free of charge for block parties. Barricades for parades are the responsibility of the applicant. This may require the hiring of Police officers, barricades or other devices as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. For block parties, barricades will be delivered to the applicant’s address by City crews on the last working day prior to the scheduled party. Barricades will be picked up the first day following the party. It is the responsibility of the applicant to set up and take down the barricades per the date and times of the approved party. Only approved barricades shall be used. The applicant shall be responsible for the immediate clean-up of the street(s) prior to the re-opening to vehicular traffic. When the applicant has secured the signatures of all residents or businesses approving the street closure/special event and the closure has been approved by the City and County, the applicant will assume all responsibility for meeting the above conditions. The applicant is liable for any and all claims that may arise as a result of the street closure. The City and County of Broomfield is relieved of any and all liability. The City and County of Broomfield can revoke this permit at any time as the result of a safety condition or improper use of this permit.
