The tasting room will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The tasting room expects a maximum of thirty customers per day and fifteen vehicle trips per shift. If approved, there will be twelve marketing events per year. The marketing events will have a maximum attendance of 100 people and will operate from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 P.M. Marketing Events Marketing event' means the congregation of persons for the purpose of promoting the wine industry and marketing wine.

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. Commercial Kitchen The site plan depicts a commercial kitchen proposed in Phase One and stated food will be served indoors and outdoors. Food preparation facilities are to be used only for marketing events accessory to the winery use or special events pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1075.5(m)(5). 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 for the winery. 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. As a result, forty-one (41) parking spaces would be required, including two 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 25, 2013 requesting a modification in the number of parking spaces required for the winery because the majority of the buildings will be used for warehouse and storage, the winery will employ a maximum of six employees, and expects a maximum of thirty customers in the tasting room per day. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the number of parking spaces to fourteen (14) parking spaces is sufficient for the proposed winery operation. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant shall provide fourteen (14) parking spaces for the winery, including one van accessible space.
