Document Description
A five-year renewal and modification of two previously approved Conditional Use Permits, which have historically authorized use of French’s Camp and Dimmick Ranch for musical events ordinarily held between May and October. All events feature live music, camping and various vendors, including cannabis-related concessions and consumption within discrete areas on the properties. The County Line Ranch and Cooks Valley Campground span both Humboldt and Mendocino Counties and will serve as the principal venue for all events.
