A Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow annual operation of a special event at the property known as County Line Ranch (formerly Dimmick Ranch). The proposed event involves a private campout with theater, immersive art, amplified and non-amplified music, and other similar activities occurring over a 4-day period. Attendance is expected not to exceed 3000 persons (including staff, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and artists) and it is anticipated that the event will occur each year in June. Conditional Use Permits previously approved by the Planning Commission already allow use of the County Line Ranch property between May and October for parking, camping, and live music from four (4) annual events held by the Northern Nights Music Group and Mateel Community Center, with no two events occurring concurrently. Events in recent years have included the Northern Nights Music Festival, Reggae on the River, and the Summer Arts and Music Festival. If approved, the newest CUP would allow annual operation of a fifth event at the property for a 5-year period (2026-2030).
