Title
Substantial Conformance Review for the 2015 Northern Nights Music Festival Parking and Camping Event and One-Day Event
Review of CUP-04-38MMM for use during a three-day outdoor music and art event known as "Northern Nights Music Festival" (NNMF) which will be held the weekend of July 17-19, 2015, and also used during a separate one day outdoor concert on August 22, 2015. The "County Line Ranch," parcel is the only parcel within Humboldt County.
The project specifically seeks approval for use of County Line Ranch to accommodate parking up to 2,000 vehicles and camping for up to 2,000 attendees. There will be no amplified music permitted on the project site during the NNMF event. Additionally, the applicant proposes to use County Line Ranch for a one day concert of up to 1,000 attendees on August 22, 2015.
Recommendation
Make all of the required findings, based on evidence in the staff report and public testimony, and find that the project proposed by Outraged Orangutan LLC/Blap Productions described in the Agenda Item Transmittal can be considered to 'Substantially Conform' to the range and intensity of uses authorized under the approved Conditional Use Permit for the site, and subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval.
