Mahaffey Minor Use Permit - N-DRC2024-00034

Patti Mahaffey has requested a Minor Use Permit to conduct up to 35 temporary outdoor events annually at a 1.7-acre site located at 5750 Eagle Oak Ranch Way, approximately five miles east of Paso Robles within the Agriculture land use category and the El Pomar Estrella Sub Area of the North County Planning Area. The events, each accommodating up to 200 attendees, will utilize two currently landscaped outdoor areas repurposed for event space, with temporary parking provided on existing equestrian use areas. No new grading or permanent structures are planned, except for minor driveway improvements on Geneseo Road. Temporary water and sanitary facilities will be installed for each event, and outdoor amplified sound including music and speech will be permitted. The site is zoned for agricultural use, and the request seeks a discretionary land use change to accommodate these intermittent public gatherings without altering the underlying land designation. The permit application is tracked under N-DRC2024-00034 and is being reviewed by San Luis Obispo County, with primary contact through Supervisor Planner Kerry Brown.
