Marketing Events "Marketing event" means the congregation of persons for the purpose of promoting the wine industry and marketing wine. Marketing events always include wine tasting and the sale of wine pursuant to Development Title Section 9-110.4. The winery must first be able to produce the wine that will be promoted at the marketing events prior to the marketing events taking place. Access Development Title Section 9-1015.5(h)(1) states, "Access driveways shall have a width of no less than twenty-five (25) feet for two-way aisles and sixteen (16) feet for one-way aisles except that in no case shall driveways designated as fire department access be less than twenty (20) feet wide." The circulation patterns for ingress and egress traffic and aisle widths must clearly be shown on the Improvement Plan. Parking The applicant is proposing ninety-seven (97) parking spaces, comprised of forty spaces for the winery and fifty-seven parking spaces for overflow parking spaces for marketing events. Development Title Section 9-1015.3(b) requires 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building for the Winery and Wine Cellars-Winery use type. Asa result, sixty-three (63) parking spaces would be required for the winery, including three accessible spaces. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 states that requirements of the chapter may be modified by the Director in cases in which, due to the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal submitted for it, the requirements set forth in the Development Title may be considered insufficient or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter dated October 30, 2012 requesting a modification in the number of parking spaces for the winery because the majority of the buildings will be used for warehouse and storage. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the number of parking spaces to ninety-seven (97) is sufficient for the proposed use. Twenty-four(24) parking spaces shall be required in Phase One and twenty-three (23) parking spaces shall be required in Phase Two. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant shall provide forty-seven (47) parking spaces for the winery, including two (2) accessible spaces, one (1) which shall be van accessible. The applicant stated there will be a maximum attendance of 150 people at the marketing events. In addition to the forty-seven (47) parking spaces required for the winery, fifty additional overflow parking spaces shall be required on-site for the marketing events (one parking space for every three marketing event attendees). The additional marketing event parking spaces must also be shown on the Improvement Plan. The guidelines for parking stall dimensions for automobiles are a minimum of nine (9) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long (Development Title Section 9-1015.5). The handicapped accessible parking space must be twenty (20) feet long by seventeen (17) feet wide (nine (9) feet wide parking area and an eight (8) foot wide loading and unloading area) (Development Title Section 9-1015.5).
