Background <br /> On December 4, 2001, the Community Development Department approved a bed and <br /> breakfast for a maximum of eight guests (Use Type: Lodging Services-Bed and <br /> Breakfast). The project included the conversion of a 3,300 square foot residence into a <br /> bed and breakfast and the construction of a three (3) foot by six (6) foot monument sign, <br /> measuring eight (8)feet in height. The existing bed and breakfast is not a part of this <br /> project. <br /> On March 11, 2004, the Community Development Department approved an off-site wine <br /> cellar with 24 marketing events for a maximum of 150 people (Use Type: Wineries and <br /> Wine Cellars—Wine Cellar, Off-site). The existing wine tasting room within the off-site <br /> wine cellar building is proposed to be expanded in Phase One of the project. <br /> Access <br /> In accordance with Development Title Section 9-1015.5(h)(1) access driveways shall <br /> have a width of no less than twenty-five (25) feet for two-way aisles and sixteen (16) feet <br /> for one-way aisles, except that in no case shall driveways designated as fire department <br /> access be less than twenty (20) feet wide. The applicant shall note the width of the <br /> access driveway and clearly delineate the circulation pattern on the Improvement Plan. <br /> Parking <br /> The applicant is proposing sixty-nine (69) parking spaces, including five (5) accessible <br /> spaces but depicts forty-one (41) parking spaces proposed in Phase One and thirty-five <br /> (35) parking spaces proposed in Phase Two. Development Title Section 9-1015.3(b) <br /> requires 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building for the Winery and Wine <br /> Cellars-Winery use type. As a result, 154 parking spaces would be required, including <br /> six accessible spaces. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 states that <br /> requirements of the chapter may be modified by the Director in cases in which, due to <br /> the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal <br /> submitted for it, the requirements set forth in the Development Title may be considered <br /> insufficient or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter requesting a reduction in the <br /> number of parking spaces. The applicant requested to apply the parking calculation to <br /> Phases One and Two only as the main winery operations and staffing will be included in <br /> these two phases. Phases Three and Four involve the construction of storage buildings <br /> only and do not require additional staffing or customers. The Community Development <br /> Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the <br /> number of parking spaces to sixty-nine (69) is sufficient for the proposed use. Eleven <br /> (11) parking spaces shall be required in Phase One and fifty-eight (58) parking spaces <br /> shall be required in Phase Two. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant shall provide <br /> sixty-nine (69) parking spaces at full buildout, including three (3) accessible spaces, one <br /> (1) which shall be van accessible. <br /> The guidelines for parking stall dimensions for automobiles are a minimum of nine (9) <br /> feet wide by twenty (20) feet long (Development Title Section 9-1015.5). The <br /> handicapped accessible parking space must be twenty (20) feet long by seventeen (17) <br /> feet wide (nine (9) feet wide parking area and an eight (8) foot wide loading and <br /> unloading area) (Development Title Section 9-1015.5). The dimensions for automobile <br /> stalls and surfacing material must be shown on the Improvement Plan. <br /> 2 <br />
