SUMMARY STATEMENT:
End of the Road Ren Fair applied for a temporary land use permit for use of an approximately 4.5-acre portion of 196 S Harbor Drive, Tract V Harbor Subdivision for June 19th - June 24th, 2024. The request was for the use of the property for a renaissance fair open to the public. The event included a vendor square, food vendor area, stage, and game area. The event took place June 19th-June 24th, 2024. The End of the Road Ren Fair received a permit in 2023 for the same event at the Barney Meyring Parkstrip.
The City Economic Development Director, Chief of Police, Ports and Harbors Director, and Parks and Recreation Director were solicited for comments on the application and expressed no objection. The applicant worked with the Economic Development Department for in-kind services.
Use of the property under this permit did not constitute a nuisance, and no permanent alteration of the land occurred.
Per resolution #23-43, this permit was exempted from permit fees as a community celebration less than 10 days in duration.
