Background Paper for Proposed
Ordinance
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 28, 2022
TO: President Heather Graham and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar
VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk
FROM: Michael Miller, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT; SPECIFICALLY,
A BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION PER ARTICLE VII OF CHAPTER 3 OF TITLE XI
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance creates boundaries for an Entertainment District (“Entertainment District No. 1”)
as authorized under Pueblo Municipal Code §§ 11-3-71 et seq. and C.R.S. 44-3-301(11), and
grants all powers to the local authority therein.
PREVIOIUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council authorized Entertainment Districts and Common Consumption Areas through
Ordinance No. 10043, passed on November 8, 2021, now codified at Pueblo Municipal Code
Sections 11-3-71 et seq.
BACKGROUND:
Article 3 of Title 44 of the Colorado Revised Statutes allows municipalities to create Entertainment
Districts and allow Common Consumption Areas within those districts. Common Consumption
Areas are designated areas where patrons of certain liquor licensed businesses are allowed to
exit the licensed premises with alcoholic beverages that they purchased from that business and
then continue to consume the beverage in the public space. Common Consumption Areas must
be shared by at least two liquor licensed businesses.
The City previously adopted Article VII of Chapter 3 of Title XI of the Pueblo Municipal Code,
which authorizes the creation of these Entertainment Districts. As part of the ordinances, the
Pueblo Liquor and Beer Licensing Board certifies promotional associations to operate the
Common Consumption Areas.
Promotional associations are primarily comprised of members from the adjacent liquor licensed
businesses that wish to create a Common Consumption area. These associations are then
responsible for maintaining order in their Common Consumption Areas.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City collects certain fees for the administrative purposes, but these do not have a significant
impact on the finances of the City. Sales tax revenue may increase with the creation of Common
Consumption Areas.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinances does not pass, then Entertainment Districts and the associated Common
Consumption Areas will not be allowed within the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Passage of the Ordinance
