Review of the Annual Report for the approved Conditional Use Permit authorizing events operated by the Mateel Community Center (MCC) at the County Line Ranch (formerly Dimmick) in the Cooks Valley area. The MCC permit allows two music festivals to be held annually on several parcels spanning the Humboldt/Mendocino county line in the Cooks Valley area. Both events feature live music, camping, and various vendors including cannabis-related concessions and consumption within discrete areas on the properties. One event is the Summer Arts and Music Festival which occurs over two days and is ordinarily held during the third weekend in June. The second event is Reggae on the River, which ordinarily occurs over three days during the first weekend in August. The Summer Arts and Music Festival was not held at the County Line Ranch in 2025 but instead occurred at the Southern Humboldt Community Park on June 21st and 22nd. The 2025 Reggae on the River event was held on August 1, 2 and 3 of 2025. No other events were operated by the Mateel from the CLR site in 2025. The Use Permit was approved by the Planning Commission in 2023 and requires the Mateel Community Center to submit a monitoring report to the Commission for review on an annual basis. During review, the Commission may amend conditions or operational requirements to better address impacts or control public nuisance. Authorized attendance levels may also be adjusted based on annual performance. Events occur on the properties known as 83950 Road 442E and 240 Cooks Valley Road.
