3. Permit Fees:

a. Commercial Use Fee:

i. A Commercial Use fee shall be charged by the Division for every permit unless a fee waiver is approved as provided by this regulation. The Commercial Use fee is intended to ensure that the Division realizes a reasonable rate of return over and above the administrative and property impact costs to the Division for allowing Commercial Use on a CPW Property. Commercial Use fees shall be implemented by the Division in a consistent and predictable manner according to the following restrictions.

ii. The CPW Property Manager may require some or all of the Commercial Use fee as a non-refundable deposit to be paid in advance of use of the permit as reasonably necessary to ensure that Commercial Use Permits are reliably used.

iii. The Commercial Use fees shall be:

1) Activity Permits: 5% of gross revenue earned by the permit holder under the permit.

2) Event Permits: 50% of the property entry fee per attendee under the permit.

3) Any Commercial Use Permit for filming or photography shall be based on the number of people entering the property under the permit as follows:

a. 1-2 people, camera and tripod only.........................$50.00/day

iv. Impact Fees: In addition to the Commercial Use fee, the permit may require the permit holder to pay for the cost of any services that are necessary to facilitate the Commercial Use and prevent any negative impact on the CPW Property. Impact fees may include, but are not limited to, the costs of trash receptacles and trash removal, toilet facilities and clean up, property clean up services, security, additional hours for CPW staff that are not normally provided (e.g. additional ANS inspection hours), traffic control, or EMS services. Impact Fees ensure that CPW does not bear the cost of the Commercial Use of CPW Property.

4. Fee Waivers: Applicants for a Commercial Use permit may request a waiver of part or all of the fees required for permits. Waivers must be requested in writing with a statement explaining why the waiver should be granted. Fee waivers may be approved by the Division only in limited circumstances outlined below.
