R920-4-8. Special Use Double Booking Conflict Resolution

  (1) In cases where a double booking conflict arises, the Department will encourage any secondary, or subsequent, Applicant to review the feasibility of collocating with the original Applicant. If collocating proves impracticable, the Department will encourage any secondary, or subsequent, Applicant to offer a viable alternative strategy that meets the needs of all Applicants, while also ensuring adequate public safety measures remain intact.

  (2) For non-Free Speech Special Road Uses, the Department may also rely on local agency assistance with establishing special event permitting priorities and reserves the authority to exercise the discretion in giving priority consideration to an applicant based on an evaluation of historic use, potential economic benefit, and other relevant factors.

  (3) In cases where none of the aforementioned conflict resolution strategies prove effective in remedying a continuing dispute between multiple applicants, and the Department determines that collocating is impracticable, the Special Event Permit will be issued based on the earliest recorded application time and date where the Department has determined the Applicant has fully completed all application requirements.
