Judd/Zion Minor Use Permit/DRC2009-00056

Kirk Consulting is seeking an amendment to Minor Use Permit DRC2009-00056 for the property located at 5735 Von Dollen Rd in San Luis Obispo County, California. The request aims to extend the operation of temporary events for an additional 20-year period and increase the allowable annual events from 20 to 35, with a maximum capacity of 150 attendees per event. The proposal includes the ability to host both indoor and outdoor gatherings, the conversion of an existing barn for assembly occupancy, and the procurement of a building permit for existing restrooms. The event space encompasses a 12,500 square foot lawn, a 702 square foot restroom and storage building, a 1,000 square foot barbeque trellis area, a 1,200 square foot patio with trellis, and 24,000 square feet of parking. Situated within the Agriculture Land use Category of the El Pomar Estrella Sub Area, the project has undergone environmental review. A Negative Declaration Addendum filed on September 24, 2026, concluded that the proposed increases in event frequency and capacity are appropriate after evaluating impacts on transportation, noise, air quality, agricultural resources, and public utilities.
