Board of County Commissioners Janne 23, 2016 Page Tivo The proposed ordinance removes the definition of festivals from the Code. Additionally, the proposed ordinance repeals section 205.08 (Festivals) from the Code. The proposed ordinance then amends section 205.09 of the Code, to require Board authorization for events at the Indian River County Fairgrounds and at the South County Intergenerational Recreation Center that have l) alcohol. 2) more than 100 primitive/tent camp sites, and 3) outdoor music for two or more days. Such events will need to meet the similar requirements as previously described in section 205.08. The major changes will be to remove the permitting of festivals on private property in unincorporated areas of Indian River County out of the jurisdiction of the Parks and Recreation Divisions. Such events will now be handled through the temporary use permit process within the Community Development Department under existing temporary use permit general requirements. With the authorization of the Board, at a later date the Community Development Department will bring back a separate ordinance creating specific requirements for festival -like events within the temporary use permit process. Staff is unaware of any festivals that have occurred to date on private property in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. Second, the proposed ordinance will eliminate the limitation on hours for events that had previously been defined as a festival. Thus, these types of events at the Indian River County Fairgrounds and at the South County Intergenerational Recreation Center will no longer have hours limitations within the Code. Finally, the Board will need to authorize events at the Indian River County Fairgrounds and at the South County Intergenerational Recreation Center which have 1) alcohol, 2) more than 100 primitive/tent camp sites, and 3) outdoor music for two or more days. Events under these thresholds will be approved by either the Parks Division or the Recreation Division. RECOMMENDATION. The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Chair open the public hearing and take public comment on this matter and then have the Board vote to approve the ordinance and authorize the Community Development Department to draft an ordinance and set public hearings concerning festival - like events in the land development regulations.
