Commercial Zoning Districts.
a. CD Downtown Commercial. This zone district is established to provide a wide variety and relatively high intensity of retail and commercial services within Downtown Estes Park to serve both residents and visitors. The CD District implements the “CBD-Commercial Downtown” land use category set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. This district is intended to encourage a predominance of compact and pedestrian-scale retail, service and office uses in the Downtown core. Residential uses, especially employee housing or when mixed with commercial or retail uses, are also encouraged within the district to provide alternative housing choices for the Valley’s workforce.
It is the intent that the Downtown maintain its function as the Valley’s focal point of tourist shopping and entertainment activity. This area is also a key economic engine for the Town of Estes Park and the Valley; therefore, future sales-tax generating uses are strongly encouraged.

Okay all you grass roots movement members, copy this on your printer this morning or tomorrow morning, around 10:00 or 11:00 or 12:00 AM walk over to the art fair and make a visual of compliance inspection and than see how many people are shopping in the crap fair and how many people are shopping with our merchants. Make a small purchase see if they collect a tax, collect business cards, count the number of vendors, try and find one piece of "fine art". You be the judge.
