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 noncontracted 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 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. The applicant expects to produce 36,000 gallons of wine per year and will have wine available for sale at each marketing event. The wine will be sold exclusively from the host winery. The parcel will have approximately 14 acres of vineyards and the winery and marketing events will encompass approximately three acres. Therefore, the marketing events for the winery are accessory uses and the proposed project is consistent with the required three principles of compatibility pursuant to Government Code Section 51238.1. Council of Governments San Joaquin County is a signatory to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that any impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, if applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. This project is subject to the SJMSCP and is located within an unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. This can be a 90 day process and it is recommended that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible.
