The project site has frontage on Oroville-Quincy Highway, a County-maintained roadway and takes direct access from this roadway. Under the Special Event ordinance, the event may not last longer than 2 days, exclusive of setup and takedown, and may not exceed 12 hours per day (9am – 9 pm). The project applicant is proposing 30 events per year. Accommodations would occur via 20 dry tent campsites to accommodate a maximum of 100 persons, and 4 sleeping cabins with a maximum occupancy of 4 adults per cabin, for a total of 116 people at any given time. The pre-application review did not include a site plan. This department may have additional comments, questions, and conditions once a site plan is received. COMMENTS FOR PERMIT SUBMITTAL Please provide the following information with the project application submittals: 1. Traffic operational analysis: The pre-application indicates a maximum of 116 people at any given event. Attendees can be expected to carpool per the applicant. With the project application, please provide more information about the amount of people carpooling and how many people would be in each vehicle, along with the days of the week traffic is most likely to occur. A focused traffic operational analysis that evaluates safety impacts from traffic entering and exiting the site may be needed depending on the responses. 2. Road standards: The project site has direct frontage and access on Oroville-Quincy Highway, a County-maintained roadway and will be subject to County Standard No. S-3A (Concrete Commercial Driveway Approach). Encroachment permits from Butte County will be required for all work within the County right of way. Please include the S-3A standard on the submitted site plan. 3. Preliminary grading plan: If the project will disturb over 50 cubic yards of earth, please provide a preliminary grading showing all cuts and fill lines, limits of grading, borrow and stockpile areas, total volume cut and filled, general location and character of vegetation covering the site (including trees to be removed), and typical cross sections of all existing and proposed graded areas taken at intervals not exceeding 200 feet and at locations of maximum cuts and fills. The plan shall include contour lines not exceeding 2 feet vertically, showing all topographic features and drainage patterns where proposed grading is to occur. The contour lines shall extend a minimum of 50 feet beyond the affected area and further if needed to define intercepted drainage. 4. Preliminary drainage plan/Site improvement plan: Please provide a preliminary drainage plan and calculations to identify the existing and proposed drainage patterns on the site and where drainage will flow, whether it will be detained onsite prior to offsite runoff, whether proposed detention basins are adequately sized, etc. At a minimum, the drainage plan should specify how stormwater runoff will be attenuated on site by detention facilities and/or conveyed to the nearest natural or publicly maintained drainage channel and demonstrate no net increase in peak runoff from the 100- year storm event. As part of the project conditions of approval, a more detailed drainage analysis will be required with project improvement plans. 5. Construction SWPPP: A Construction SWPPP will be required prior to improvement permit issuance if the project will disturb over an acre. This will be a condition of approval of the project. If a SWPPP does not apply, please provide an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for temporary and permanent erosion control measures. 6. Site plan: Ensure that the site includes the following with the official planning submittal: a. Show all easements of record on and adjacent to the site b. Show all adjoining County right of way c. Show topographic contours d. Show all proposed entrances/exits to the site e. Show all surface materials for the site and include a table of various surfacing areas in square feet, including impervious asphalt or concrete, impervious dirt and gravel compacted areas, landscaped areas, open space areas, and impervious building/rooftop areas f. Show proposed traffic circulation within the site and truck turning templates 7. Traffic control: Note that traffic control will be required for larger events, and this will be a condition of approval of the project. Traffic control may include managing vehicles entering and exiting the site during events, obtaining an Encroachment Permit for sign placement in the County’s right of way for any required advance warning signs, notifying California Highway Patrol, placing fee attendants/parking kiosks a minimum of 100 feet from the County road, and professional traffic control attendants or trained volunteers.
