4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. • This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for this project found no potentially significant environmental impacts. The project is subject to the Development Title Noise Ordinance Section 9-1025.9 Stationary Noise Sources standards. As conditions of approval, the project must meet the noise ordinance requirements of 65 dB at the property line and have no more than 150 attendees at each marketing event. 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the current land uses on adjacent properties. The properties surrounding the project site are zoned AG-40 and are being used for agricultural purposes. The nearest residence is located approximately 130 feet north of the project site. As an ordinance requirement, marketing events shall end at 10:00 p.m. Williamson Act Compatibility Principles 1. The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the winery will not displace any agricultural operations. There will be 14.3 acres of vineyards that will be planted. The use on the subject property will remain agricultural and will therefore not significantly compromise the long-term productive capability of the subject contracted parcel or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. 2. The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed winery and marketing events relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products because they are for the promotion of the wine that will be produced by the vineyards grown on the property. The proposed use, including parking areas,will occur on a 3-acre portion of an existing 17-acre parcel. The remaining portion of the parcel will be vineyards. 3. The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open- space use. In evaluating compatibility a board or council shall consider the impacts on non-contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed use, a small winery, will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. The surrounding properties are vineyards and agricultural. The use will result in promoting agricultural uses as grapes are purchased from surrounding growers. The Lodi area has existing wineries on contracted lands. Therefore it will not negatively impact agricultural uses on adjacent contracted lands and will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use. y San Joaquin County PA-1200200\M2 Winery Community Development Page 6
