Analysis Background In 2000, Use Permit UP-00-0012 was approved for a large winery in two phases over five years. In 2003, a building permit was finaled for a 13,902 square foot building to be used for an office, wine processing, and tank storage. Building permits were not issued for Phase II and the application expired. Parkin Development Title Table 9-1015.3(a) states that for the Wineries and Wine Cellars use type, 2.5 parking spaces shall be provided for each 1,000 square feet of building. The applicant has proposed to expand the current operation of building square footage by 28,150 square feet. This will require that 40 additional parking spaces be provided for the project, including two accessible spaces, one of which shall be van accessible. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 permits the modification of these requirements by the Director in cases, which due to the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal submitted for it, the requirements may be considered insufficient or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter dated February 1, 2008 requesting a reduction in the number of parking spaces to 27 parking spaces because there will be a maximum of five employees per shift and twenty-two remaining parking spaces for customers for the wine tasting room. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the number of parking spaces to 27 is sufficient for the proposed use. The parking area shall be surfaced and permanently maintained with asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete to provide a durable dust free surface. (Development Title Section 9-1015.5[e]) Access The applicant has an existing driveway off of Kennefick Road which encroaches on the neighboring parcel to the west. The neighboring property to the west is owned by the Central California Traction Company. The applicant has submitted an approval letter dated July 2, 2008 from the Central California Traction Company approving access off of Kennefick Road. As a Condition of Approval, the Central California Traction Company is requiring a gate on the crossing so that during non-working hours, the crossing will be closed. Tasting Room Development Title Section 9-1075.2(m)(1)(A) states the maximum size of an area designated for wine tasting within a multipurpose building for a large winery shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the area designated for production facilities. As a result, the wine tasting room shall not exceed 4,170 square feet as 13,902 square feet have been allocated for production thus far (BP-0103112). The square footage of the wine tasting room must be shown on the Improvement Plan. San Joaquin County Council of Governments This project is subject to the San Joaquin County Council of Government's Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Pan for the County. The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Payment and has complied with this requirement. San Joaquin County PA-0700404/Schatz Community Development Page 3
