Curfew, Loitering and the Right to Quiet Enjoyment
May 8, 2009
To all Owners and Residents of Oakbridge Condominiums:
As summer approaches and the 2008/2009 school session closes, and we all venture outside to enjoy those warm summer nights, the Board of Directors of the Oakbridge Condominium Association wants to remind everyone that the City of Colorado Springs has an enforceable ordinance regarding Curfew and Loitering. It states,
1. It is unlawful for any person under the age of eighteen (18) years to loiter or to aimlessly drive or ride about, on or about any street, avenue, highway, road, sidewalk, curb, gutter, parking lot, alley, vacant lot, park, playground, yard, building, place of amusement, or eating place, whether public or private, without the consent or permission of the owner or occupant thereof, during the hours ending at six o'clock (6:00) A.M. and beginning at twelve o'clock (12:00) midnight on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and beginning at ten o'clock (10:00) P.M. on Sunday night through Thursday night. No violation of this subsection will have occurred if the person under the age of eighteen (18) years is accompanied by a parent, guardian or other adult person over the age of twenty one (21) years who is authorized by a parent or guardian of the juvenile to take the parent's place in accompanying the juvenile for a designated period of time and purpose within a specified area.
In addition, there is an implied warranty of “quiet enjoyment” for all people, regardless of where you live in the USA. The City’s Home Occupation Permit Application addresses the term “disturb” in this way,
“… disturb means to unreasonably annoy, perturb or interfere with the quiet enjoyment of another’s premises.”
Further, the City’s Noise Ordinance states,
A. It is unlawful to make, create, or permit an excessive or unusually loud noise, or a noise which endangers public safety, or a noise which is harmful to any person, which can be heard without the use of an electronic measurement device or heard and measured in the manner prescribed in section 9.8.103 of this part; except when made under and in compliance with a permit issued pursuant to section 9.8.109 of this part.
We want to ensure that everyone living at Oakbridge, including our neighbors and friends, will have a great summer. Respecting the laws (attached) will be a big step in that direction.
PLEASE BE ADVISED, city ordinances and the rules and regulations will be enforced, as they pertain to noise and loitering.
Thank you very much for your consideration and cooperation.

Curfew - Loitering Ordinance
The City of Colorado Springs City Code states:
9.2.102: LOITERING:
B. Defined: The word "loiter" means to be dilatory, to stand idly around, to linger, delay, wander about, to remain, abide or tarry in a public place.
C. Loitering To Warrant Alarm: It is unlawful for any person to loiter so as to warrant alarm for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity.
D. Loitering On School Grounds:

a. At a time when the school is in session or when persons under the age of eighteen (18) are otherwise present in the school building or on the grounds;
b. Having been asked to leave by a school administrator or school representative or a peace officer;
c. That person loiters in the school building, on the school grounds, or within one hundred feet (100') of the school grounds;
d. Without having any reason related to custody of or responsibility for a pupil attending that school, or any other specific, legitimate reason for the person's presence;
e. Under circumstances in which the person's continued presence interferes with or disrupts the school program or interferes with or endangers school children or personnel present in the school building or on its grounds.
2. It is unlawful for any person under the age of eighteen (18) years to loiter or to aimlessly drive or ride about, on or about any street, avenue, highway, road, sidewalk, curb, gutter, parking lot, alley, vacant lot, park, playground, yard, building, place of amusement, or eating place, whether public or private, without the consent or permission of the owner or occupant thereof, during the hours ending at six o'clock (6:00) A.M. and beginning at twelve o'clock (12:00) midnight on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and beginning at ten o'clock (10:00) P.M. on Sunday night through Thursday night.

3. It is unlawful for the parent, guardian, or other adult person having the care and custody of a juvenile under the age of eighteen (18) years to knowingly permit or allow the juvenile to loiter or to aimlessly drive or ride about at the places and within the time prohibited by subsection C2 of this section. The term "knowingly" includes knowledge which a parent should be reasonably expected to have concerning the whereabouts of a juvenile in that parent or guardian's custody. It shall be no defense that a parent, guardian, or other person having the care and custody of the juvenile was indifferent to the activities, conduct or whereabouts of the juvenile.
E. Reasonable Grounds, Duty Of Officer: For purposes of a prosecution under subsection B of this section, the following applies:
1. Among the circumstances which may be considered in determining whether reasonable grounds for belief have arisen that a person is loitering is the fact that the person:
a. Takes flight upon appearance of a peace officer; or
b. Refuses to provide the person's identity; or
c. Manifestly endeavors to conceal the person's person or any object; or
d. Systematically checks the means of access to buildings or vehicles; or
e. Maintains a continuous presence in close proximity to a place when the person's activity manifests a high probability of unlawful activity.
2. Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make it impractical, a peace officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offense under this section, afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm otherwise warranted, or explain any circumstances giving rise to reasonable grounds for belief that the person is loitering by requesting that person to:
a. Identify himself/herself; and
b. Explain the person's presence and conduct.
F. Standard For Conviction: No person shall be convicted of an offense under subsection B of this section, if the peace officer did not comply with subsections D2a and D2b of this section, or if at trial, that the explanation of presence and conduct given by the defendant was true and, if believed by the peace officer at the time, would have dispelled any alarm or would have disclosed a lawful purpose.

Traffic on other than designated streets during these hours shall be subject to the decibel level as provided in subsection A of this section.
C. Designated Streets: Designated streets shall be named by the City Manager. In determining what streets shall be designated, the City Manager shall attempt to preserve low decibel noise levels within residential zones and give primary consideration to major arterial streets which allow travel to commercial areas requiring evening access. (Ord. 4517; 1968 Code §§8-46, 8-47, 8-48; Ord. 01-42)
9.8.202: EMERGENCY VEHICLES EXCEPTED:
The requirements, prohibitions and terms of this part shall not apply to any authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call or acting in time of emergency. The terms of this part shall not apply to those activities of a temporary duration, permitted by law and for which a license or permit has been granted by the City, including parades and fireworks displays. (Ord. 4517; 1968 Code §8-50; Ord. 01-42)
9.8.203: MODIFICATIONS PROHIBITED:
It is unlawful for any person to sell, lease, rent or install any device or sell, rent, lease or operate any vehicle, engine, motor or other mechanical device with a device which when attached to or placed on any vehicle, engine, motor or other mechanical device so as to amplify or increase the noise emitted by it above that emitted by the vehicle, engine, motor or mechanical device in its original factory design. This part shall not apply to devices sold for racing or pleasure purposes and used outside the City or in areas properly authorized by the City for pleasure or racing. It is unlawful for any person to operate a modified vehicle, engine, motor or device within the City and not in a properly authorized area. (Ord. 4517; 1968 Code §8-52; Ord. 01-42)
9.8.204: MOTORCYCLES AND OFF-HIGHWAY MOTOR VEHICLES:
A. Findings And Purpose:
1. The City Council finds that the driving, riding and use of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles and off-highway motor vehicles on public and private property within the limits of the City is the cause of noise and dust and of the destruction of plants, landscaping and other real and personal property, and the conduct adversely affects the comfort and privacy of the residents of the City. Because the conduct may be intermittent, fleeting, moving or caused by persons who are minors, other provisions of this Code, as well as other legal remedies, are inadequate to control the conduct and its adverse effects. The provisions of this part relating to the regulation of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles or off-highway motor vehicles are therefore necessary for the public welfare.
2. The City Council declares that the purpose of this part is to exercise the general police power in order to protect the enjoyment and use of public and private property, to protect the rights of privacy, to preserve property and personal values, to promote peace and quiet, and to provide management for and promote proper recreational use of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles or off-highway motor vehicles within the City.
3. This part shall not apply to the driving, riding and use of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles or off-highway motor vehicles on streets and highways or in other areas which are specifically governed or preempted by this Code or the motor vehicle laws of the State of Colorado.
B. Definitions:
PROPERTY: Any public or private property which is not an improved public street or highway, or an improved private street constructed in accord with City standards and approved by the City.
VEHICLE: A motorcycle, motor-driven cycle or motor vehicle, as the vehicles are defined in the motor vehicle laws of the State of Colorado, including, but not limited to, motor scooters, motorbikes and minibikes.
C. Prohibited; Exceptions: It is unlawful for any person to drive or ride any vehicle upon any property which is within six hundred sixty feet (660') of a residence or other occupied structure or property authorized for motorcycle use as required herein, except that this subsection C shall not apply in the following instances:
1. Where the vehicle is ridden, driven or used upon property by the owner, resident or tenant of the property; and provided that the operation shall not be within six hundred sixty feet (660') of the neighboring residences or occupied structures unless permission has been granted by the neighboring residents or occupants; or
2. Where the vehicle is ridden, driven or used by a visitor when the visitor is accompanied by a copy of a written authorization from the owner or occupant of the property, the original of which has been filed with the City Clerk; and provided that the operation shall not be within six hundred sixty feet (660') of the neighboring residences or occupied structures unless permission has been granted by the neighboring residents or occupants; or
3. Where the use is permitted pursuant to the City's Zoning Code.
D. Muffler Required: It is unlawful for any person to drive, ride or use a vehicle upon any property unless the vehicle is at all times equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained so as to meet the requirements of the motor vehicle laws of the State of Colorado, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended 23 , and no muffler exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device.
E. Other Regulations: The regulations do not supersede or preclude the enforcement of zoning regulations or any other regulations contained in this Code which are applicable to any conduct regulated in this part.
F. Penalty: Every person convicted of a violation of this part shall be punished by a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense, but shall not be subject to imprisonment or jail sentence. (1968 Code §8-52.1; Ord. 79-63; Ord. 82-164; Ord. 01-42)
