R4Page 1An Events Ordinance Amendment adopted by County Board of Supervisors should define guidelines to mitigate event impacts, for example noise, dust, traffic and parking. Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or is not reasonable. The content of an amendment to the Temporary Events Ordinance is ultimately up to the Board of Supervisors. Modifying the County’s Land Use Ordinance is a legislative act of the Board of Supervisors, which occurs after a public hearing is held by the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission renders its decision in the form of a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. It is ultimately the Board’s decision whether to approve, modify, or disapprove the Planning Commission’s recommendation. The Board determines if proposed ordinance amendments are acceptable and if the ordinance will contain guidelines to mitigate event impacts such as noise, dust, traffic, and parking. The proposed ordinance amendment currently does include guidelines to mitigate event impacts, for example noise, dust, traffic and parking, but it will be up to the Board whether to retain these guidelines in the adopted version.
