ORDINANCE AMENDMENT -SPECIAL EVENTS—SENT FORWARD TO PUBLIC HEARING
Planner Amy Feltner explained the proposed amendment to the special events facilities to modify
the requirement that parking areas and travel aisles be graveled for special event facilities in the RA (Rural
Area) zoning district. She said special event facilities are permitted in the RA(Rural Area)with an approved
Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and the intent for this modification is to permit the dual use of pasture and
meadows for parking for the events without requiring an undue burden on the property owner to gravel
surfaces that are infrequently used for parking. She added that all other approved businesses or business
activities operated on the property that are not directly associated with special event use shall meet the
requirements for off-street parking and parking lots.
The Board and staff discussed the proposed amendment.
Supervisor Dunn moved to adopt the resolution requesting that the ordinance amendment be sent
forward to a public hearing. Supervisor Jewell seconded the motion which carried on a recorded vote as
