While many Copperopolis residents were reassured that the SO had Copperopolis covered, many more worried that the expense to control the situation would stretch the SO's already weak budget.
According to the county planning department no conditional use permit application was submitted for this event. Conditional use permits are required by the county if an event is to exceed 1000 people. A conditional use permit addresses the propossed events' parking, welfare to the public and more.
One resident questioned the validity of that statement. "They (the county) knew full well this event was going to occur. They new it would exceed 1000 people. Yet thay let it continue without a use permit, and now we have to absorb the cost. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for having fun, but they need to do it legally. The county should have shut them down if they weren't going to follow the law." The resident also eluded to the fact that other venues are required conditional use permits.
