If you have specific questions regarding the proposed project contact: contact: MICHAEL D. RICHARDSON, Senior Planner, at (707) 268-3723.
Review of the Annual Report for the 2006 Reggae on the River Music Festival. Case No. CUP-04-38M; MATEEL COMMUNITY CENTER (REGGAE ON THE RIVER EVENT) applicant; File No. APNs 33-271-05, 33-271-07 & 33-041-23; Cooks Valley area. Review of the Annual Report for the 2006 Reggae on the River music festival. The approved Conditional Use Permit allows the event to be held over the first weekend of August, from Friday to Sunday for the next nine (9) years on the 120 acre property known as Dimmick Ranch (a portion of the former site east of the river will still be used for camping). Ticket sales were allowed to increase 12,000, and with the commensurate increase in staff and volunteers, the total number of persons at the event was allowed to increase to 14,400 persons. Campers were allowed to enter the site a day earlier (Thursday), although the hours of the performance remained the same. The Planning Commission will be setting the attendance levels for the 2007 event. The applicant requested ticket sales be allowed to increase to 14,500 ticket sales plus 2,400 personnel for a total of 16,900 persons for the 2007 event.
THE PROJECT SITE FOR THE MUSIC FESTIVAL IS LOCATED IN THE COOKS VALLEY AREA ON THE EAST SIDE OF US HIGHWAY 101 EXTENDING EASE FROM THE INTERSECTION OF COOKS VALLEY ROAD WITH US HIGHWAY 101 ON THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE "DIMMICK RANCH" (240 COOKS VALLEY ROAD).
Any person may appear and present testimony in regard to these matters at these hearings. The Planning Commission needs ONE ORIGINAL AND 14 COPIES of any materials submitted either prior to or at the meeting. The Planning Commission's decision will become effective if an appeal is not filed within the appropriate filing period. An appeal may be filed by any aggrieved person and must be submitted in writing with the required fees to the Planning Division of the Humboldt County Community Development Services before the end of the appeal period. If appealed, the decision will not become effective until the appeal is resolved. If you challenge the nature of the proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission, at, or prior to, the public hearing.
