Project #U24-0013 (Smith) — Large Outdoor Special Event Facility
Description
Mike Smith Jr. appealed the Planning Commission's denial of a wedding and event venue on his 80-acre Sutter Buttes parcel. The Board approved it 4-1 but scaled it to 12 events a year — nine at up to 500 guests, three at up to 850 — with fire lane and water-source conditions.
Impact summary
Brings commercial events, tourism dollars, and traffic to a rural Buttes road where neighbors say crashes, noise, and fire risk are already serious concerns.
