4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be <br /> injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. <br /> • This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for this project found no <br /> potentially significant environmental impacts. Per the Conditions of Approval, the project <br /> must meet the noise ordinance requirements of 65 dB at the property line and have no <br /> more than 120 attendees at each marketing event. <br /> 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the <br /> current land uses on adjacent properties. The properties surrounding the project site are <br /> zoned AG-40 and are being used for agricultural purposes. The nearest residence is located <br /> 300 feet away from the project site. As a Condition of Approval, marketing events shall end <br /> at 10:00 p.m. <br /> Williamson Act Compatibility Principles <br /> 1. The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the <br /> subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. <br /> • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because a winery will not displace any <br /> agricultural operations. There are existing vineyards that will remain. The use on the <br /> subject property will remain agricultural and will therefore not significantly <br /> compromise the long-term productive capability of the subject contracted parcel or <br /> other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. <br /> 2. The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural <br /> operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural <br /> preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted <br /> parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of <br /> commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, <br /> including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. <br /> • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed revision to the <br /> marketing events relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products. <br /> The marketing events are for the promotion of the wine produced by the vineyards <br /> grown on the property. The proposed use, including parking areas, will occur on 2.50 <br /> acres of a 10.00-acre parcel and will not displace any agricultural uses. The remaining <br /> portion of the parcel will continue to remain as vineyards. <br /> 3. The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or <br /> open-space use. In evaluating compatibility a board or council shall consider the impacts on <br /> noncontracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. <br /> • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the revision to increase the <br /> number of marketing events and the existing small winery use encourage continued and <br /> expanded agricultural uses in the area. The surrounding properties are vineyards and <br /> other agricultural uses. The Lodi area has existing wineries on contracted lands. <br /> Therefore it will not negatively impact agricultural uses on adjacent contracted lands <br /> and will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from <br /> agricultural or open-space use. <br /> San Joaquin County PA-0600033\Hoffman <br /> Community Development Page 6 <br />
