B. Accessibility for Disabled Persons. In meeting the goal of accessibility, emphasis will be placed on ensuring that disabled persons will be afforded experiences and opportunities commensurate with other visitors to the greatest extent practical. C. Special Uses 1. Permits for Special Use. A special use of Open Space land is defined as any activity other than passive recreational activities such as those identified in the Open Space section of the City Charter or when a group size exceeds the level prescribed by City ordinance.
Special use requires a permit.
Special use permits may be granted only if the activity has been judged to be consistent with Open Space purposes, regulations, and safety objectives, will not interfere with normal Open Space operations or visitor use, and will not damage Open Space. Special events that are for the material or financial benefit of participants, that involve commercialization, advertising, or publicity by participants, or for which a separate public admission fee is to be charged shall not be permitted unless the event is directly related to the purposes for which Open Space was established. Competitive, organized sport or benefit events shall not be permitted. The permit terms will provide for protection of Open Space resources and ensure that activities do not conflict with visitor use or administrative activities. The Department may terminate any current activity that does not meet permitted requirements.
