Activities PERMITTED under SP #1122 With Mitigation and Proposed Permit Conditions ■ Construction of an 8,000 sq ft Performance Arts training center • A D.O.E.

Approximately 40 people maximum. • Twelve student tent sites ■ Commercial Farming with permits for one residence, three farm dwellings, two workshopltoolsheds Activities requested and NOT PERMITTED under SP #1122 With Mitigation and Proposed Permit Conditions The additional activities we are requesting to be included in our amended special permit have almost all been tested and have received tremendous community support. This is indicated by the attendance numbers at trial events, testimony at public meetings, our petition with 977 signatures (Exhibit A), our 292 testimonial letters (Exhibit B). They all request County support for these additional activities at SPACE and provide testimony to the inclusiveness of the community in the preparation of this application. Where neighbors have expressed impacts from our new events, we have either stopped testing them or have developed solutions to resolve specific issues. An ongoing dialogue with our neighbors has identified noise as the major concern/issue and together we have worked with a professional sound consultant to develop a sound mitigation plan. We have actively sought funding for over two years and recently have received two Foundation Grants totaling $50,000 for sound reduction outside our SPACE pavilion, conditional upon this application being approved. This series of neighborhood meetings also resulted in a member of the concerned neighbors joining our advisory committee and serving as a liaison between us. Numerous and extensive consultations and communications with neighbors have produced the following proposal for additional activities and their respective conditions for noise and other limitations. • Twelve Public Performances annually that ends by 9.30pm with a maximum of 300 attendees inclusive of staff and performers. • Twelve Dinner Show Fundraisers annually that ends by 9pm with a maximum of 200 attendees inclusive of staff and performers. 10
