- Document Description
- Amendment to Conditional Use Permit #1645 which was conditionally approved in 2017 to allow a special events/wedding venue ("Dancing Pines") on a remote 20 acre parcel in the General Forest (GF) zoning district near Little Truckee Summit, between Sierraville and Truckee. The CUP was set to expire on March 22, 2022. The permittee/applicant requested two (2) amendments to the CUP to: (1) extend the life of the entitlement from 5 years to instead allow the CUP in perpetuity (without expiration); County instead approved ten (10) additional years; and 2) allow the installation of a 6' x 3' sign advertising the special events venue.
