are

adequate

the

a c t i v i t i e s

on

p r o p e r t y . For

many

y e a r s the

County

has

allowed

up t o

temporary events

per year p e r

p r o p e r t y

as

an

exem ption from

the

normal

requirements

o

i n s t a l l

permanent

a n i t a t i o n

f a c i l i t i e s .

However,

h i s

exemption i s n o t

e x p r e s s l y

p r o v i d e d

by law

and

simply represents the

County s reasonable

However, f the S t a t e perceives t h e County

s

abusing t s

d i s c r e t i o n i n

these exem ptions,

then

t h e

State

c o u l d

take

t h i s l e x i b i l i t y away

I n

the

2) Exempt

w i t h

The

County

Subcommittee m e m b e r s considered

t h i s

request

do n o t

recommend t Under the

n o t

a l l o w e d . The proposed

Ordinance does not

change

h i s

b a s i c

I t

simply a l l o w s

f o r

the

issuance

of

an

Therefore,

exempting

these

events

from

the proposed

Ordinance

does not

c r e a t e ne w

o p p o r t u n i t i e s . I t would simply mean t h a t

A l i s o n

reviewed

the

h i s t o r y

of the

current

Outdoor F e s t i v a l s

Ordinance

OFO)

nd

how

t

h as

evolved

to

the

current

e r s i o n

of

the

proposed

Outdoor

Event Ordinance (OEO).

S h e provided

a

handout of

a s l i d e

s h o w prese nted to

the B oard

on

May

27,

2014. The

primary

drawbacks

of

the

o r i g i n a l/current

OFO

w e re

that

t

d i d not

hold property

owners

accountable, and

there w as

no

enforcement mechanism

f

a permit w a s

not obtained.

T h e

proposed

OEO

s

designed

to

be

complaint-

driven

and to provide t o o l s

f o r

the

County

to address

e v e r a l current

/ongoing s s u e s

at

e v e r a l

p r o p e r t i e s around

the

County

as w e l l as future

complaints.

Steve

added that t a t e

law

r e q u i r e s

commercial eve nt a c i l i t i e s have

two

access

p o i n t s f o r f i r e

s a f e t y

P u b l i c

Resources Code

4290

and

4291).

T h e OEO

s designed

to

allow

people to do

t h i n g s

some

imes

that

they

u r r e n t l y

are

not

able to

do

l l the time.

Th e t a t e

a l s o

has laws for

a n i t a t i o n

i n

the

Health

and

Safety Code). S a n i t a t i o n

f o r

commercial venues

must

be permanent.

Steve w i l l

provide

the

r e l e v a n t

code e c t i o n s to

th e

event group.

(Note

—this

s

not a r o v i s i o n i n the proposed OEO,

but s i n

the

x i s t i n g

Use

Permit

requirements).

Question w a s asked

w h et her

the

minimum of 4

ommercial

events

per year

a t

one

property

could be

increased to a

greater number. Steve responded that

e c h n i c a l l y

the S t a t e does

not

allow

any

commercial

c t i v i t i e s

i n r e s i d e n t i a l

areas.

Steve

and A l i s o n a l s o

c l a r i f i e d that there

s

no t a t e code

e t t i n g

the 4 inimum

as proposed

i n

the

d r a f t

OEO,

ut

that the

County s p a s t

h i s t o r y

i n d e a l i n g

with the

State

has

s h o w n

t

may

not have

an

i s s u e

with

t h i s number. Any

more

than

t h i s

and

the

event/ f a c i l i t y

could be

shut

down

by

the S t a t e .

A d d i t i o n a l l y

the S t a t e

could r e s t r i c t

the

County

from making other,

i m i l a r adjustments

fo

our

p e r m i t t i n g

8/12/2019 Proposed Outdoor Event Ordinance

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/proposed-outdoor-event-ordinance 51/52

There

was

a

d i s c u s s i o n

about complaints. A l i s o n s a i d

t h a t

complaints

must

be

i n v e s t i g a t e d an d

s u b s t a n t i a t e d

before f u r t h e r a c t i o n or

enforcement c c u r s .

D u s t i n

asked i f the S h e r i f f has

the

d i s c r e t i o n

to extend the time/ d u r a t i o n of

an

event,

why

not

the n u m b e r of events?

Steve

responded w i t h a

b r i e f e x p l a n a t i o n r e g a r d i n g the

fundamentals

of a n d use

r e g u l a t i o n s .

He

e x p l a i n e d t h a t the

l a n d

use

c o de

e s t a b l i s h e s areas

t h a t

communities

determine, by

a

p u b l i c p r o c e s s , where

s i m i l a r

uses and

a c t i v i t i e s

can

be grouped

t o g e t h e r . The C o n d i t i o n a l Use

permit s a p r o c e s s

to

a l l o w a c e r t a i n degree of b l u r r i n g

o f the

l i n e s

between

r e s i d e n t i a l

and

commercial

u s e s , where the pri mary use s r e s i d e n t i a l but a

s u b s i d i a r y

use

might be

piano t u t o r i n g , a welding

s e r v i c e

or

other

commercial a c t i v i t y . The

CUP

s t a b l i s h e s

parameters

to minimiz e n u i s a n c e , s a f e t y and environmental impacts. The

l i m i t

of our

s

intended

to

p r o t e c t the i n t e g r i t y of r e s i d e n t i a l areas

and

a l l o w

a

few

events

without

r e q u i r i n g a CUP.

More than

f o u r ,

and

the

ow ner

can

t i l l apply o r

a

CUP.

D u s t i n

asked

what

are

t y p i c a l

c o s t s and

t i m i n g f o r

a Use Permit? Steve s a i d i t depends on th e

defined n a t u r e

of

the a c t i v i t y , the

p h y s i c a l

property

and

other

parameters.

The

County

can

only

charge f o r a c t u a l s t a f f

time,

which i n c l u d e s review, n s p e c t i o n s and

hearings) e f o r e the

Planning a u t h o r i t y and p o s s i b l y the Board. Timing can

take

as i t t l e as 3 onths or

l o n g e r ,

depending on i n d i v i d u a l

circumstances.

Some

r o p e r t i e s may u s t

not be s u i t a b l e f o r

event

venues.

n o n e example,

property owner

was

r e q u i r e d

by

the F i r e

Marshal

t o

o b t a i n

secondary

emergency a c c e s s . She has

been

unable to o b t a i n an

easement

from

a

neighbor

an d

has

spent time

and

l e g a l c o s t s

on

t h i s m a t t e r .

D u s t i n r a i s e d

a d d i t i o n a l

concerns.

A l i s o n

understood but a i d t h a t we have to s t a r t

somewhere. Some h i n g s

w i l l

probably

be

a d j u s t e d along

the

way.

Ordinances a r e

d r a f t e d

w i t h

the b e s t

p o s s i b l e

i n f o r m a t i o n to a n t i c i p a t e a s m u c h

as

p o s s i b l e , but we

annot

a n t i c i p a t e

every h y p o t h e t i c a l s i t u a t i o n .

While

n o

ordinance

s

p e r f e c t ,

they

have

to

be

s t r o n g enough to

p r o v i d e

c l e a r

g u i d e l i n e s and a l e g a l framework to a l l o w or

p r o h i b i t

an

a c t i v i t y . They

a r e

a l s o

l i v i n g

documents h a t

can

be a d j u s t e d

as

n e c e s s a r y . At

h i s

p o i n t we

need

to

m o v e

forward.

A l s o ,

m a n y

of the f i n e r

d e t a i l s would

be

addressed

i n

the g u i d e l i n e s and

a p p l i c a t i o n ,

which the

group can be i n v o l v e d i n developing.

Steve p r o v i d e d

the f o l l o w i n g

example

of how

codes

change:

20 y e a r s ago n o zoning ordinances

had p r o v i s i o n s f o r

c e l l

towers. Our ordinances a r e

designed

to

r e f l e c t the

commun ity s needs

as

w e l l

as p r o v i d e

h e a l t h

and s a f e t y p r o t e c t i o n s .

Heather

s t a t e d

f o r

the r e c o r d

she

f e l t t h a t her agreeing to r e s t r i c t weddings

and

events to

p a r c e l s over

5 c r e s

was an

important

c o n c e s s i o n .

She would

l i k e to

see

an

exemption

f o r

events under

100 people.

She s a i d that

our

County weddings can

range

from

9

-300,

though

t y p i c a l wedding

s i z e s

are

125-150.

A l i s o n

suggested t h a t we o u l d

review

the permit a c t i v i t y

a f t e r

the

ordinance s

adopted and

consider

whether an

exemption

c o u l d be

supported based

on the r e c o r d .

Steve

s a i d

he s s t i l l

concerned

about access

and

other

impacts,

eve n

f

under

100

people.
