Whether the demonstration will endanger the safety or property of any person;

3.

Whether the demonstration will disrupt the performance of the regular duties of county employees; and

4.

Whether the demonstration can be held in a specific park or area of a park without unreasonably interfering with the use of park facilities by others.
