Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Major Amendment to a Conditional Use Permit application to allow a music festival in the Flood Hazard District. Specifically, the applicant has requested approval of the “Hills Alive” music festival for the third weekend in July indefinitely. In 2011, a Conditional Use Permit (File# 11UR004) was approved for the Hills Alive music festival to be held at the Memorial Park band shell annually through 2016. In 2016, the festival obtained a Major Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit (File# 16UR018) to extend the event for three more years, through 2018. As part of this request, the applicant is seeking approval of the festival for the third weekend in July indefinitely. The music festival will occur on Friday and Saturday on the third weekend in July and has a typical attendance of over 40,000 people over the weekend. The setup for the event will begin on the preceding Wednesday and the tear down will be finished by the following Monday. As part of the festival, temporary structures will be setup around the band shell stage and will require review and approval of a Floodplain Development Permit prior to the event.
