Renovation and Remodel of the California Shakespeare Theater Facility County File LP08-2050

The applicant is requesting a land use permit to modify County File #LP87-2040 for improvements and upgrades to the existing theater site. The proposed development includes the demolition of existing accessory buildings, construction of a 7,850 sf building adjacent to the amphitheater, a new 675 sf building situated south of the existing amphitheater, new ticket booth, and upgrades of the existing amphitheater. The renovations to the amphitheater will increase the number of seats from 550 to 560. The site improvements will also include new landscaping, paving, grading of ~2,200 cubic ft, improvements to infrastructure to install a new water system, new sanitary and storm drainage systems, new site lighting, and grading of the parking area to facilitate drainage. The development will result in the removal of 16 code-protected trees, and work within the dripline of 7 trees. The applicant has indicated that the construction of the proposed improvements will be divided into 3 phases. The existing uses for the theater complex will not change as a result of the upgrades, and the increase in the number of persons working at, or coming to the site is not significant.
