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 fourteen (14) parking spaces in Phase Two and thirty-three (33) overflow parking spaces. 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 and one space for every three (3) marketing event attendees. As a result, thirty-three (33) overflow parking spaces shall be required for Phase One and thirty-six (36) spaces shall be required for Phase Two. 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 location, dimensions, and surface material for automobile stalls must be shown on the Improvement Plan. Noise There are scattered residences along the perimeter of the subject parcels. The nearest residence is located on the adjacent parcel to the north, 80 feet north of the winery operations. Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1025.9(a)(1), a residential use is a noise sensitive land use. The applicant has indicated there will not be amplified sound either indoors or outdoors at the marketing events. A winery and its associated marketing events are not classified as a noise sensitive land use. In addition, noise sources emanating from any agricultural operations, including activities associated with the process or transportation of crops when such activities are conducted on agriculturally zoned lands are exempt from the Noise ordinance.
