The winery will have wine available for sale during all permitted events. The wine will be sold exclusively from the host winery. The parcel is 59.14 acres in size. Marketing Events, Wine Release and Industry Events encompass approximately two (2) acres within existing developed area of the winery, and the remainder of the site is planted in vineyard. Therefore, the existing winery and proposed events and outdoor amplified sound at permitted events are consistent with the required three Principles of Compatibility pursuant to Government Code Section 51238.1. 1. The use will not significantly compromise the long-term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the addition of marketing events at the existing winery in the existing developed area will not displace any agricultural operations. There are existing vineyards that will remain. The use on the subject property will remain agricultural and will therefore not significantly compromise the long-term productive capability of the subjected contracted parcel or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. 2. The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves. Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they related directly to the production of commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands, including activities such as harvesting, processing, or shipping. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed revision to add twelve (12) Marketing Events for a maximum of eighty (80) people, and the addition of outdoor amplified sound at events, when -permitted, relates directly to the production of commercial agricultural products because the events promote the wine produced by the vineyards grown on the property. The proposed use, including parking areas,VMI occur on 2 acres of a 59.14-acre parcel. The remaining portion of the parcel will continue to remain as vineyards. 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 non-contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed revision to add twelve (12) Marketing Events for a maximum of eighty (80) people, and the addition of outdoor amplified sound at events, when permitted, at the existing small winery use 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. Farm Bureau The San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation submitted a comment letter dated April 25, 2018 regarding the addition of twelve (12) Marketing Events and outdoor amplified sound. The letter states that the Farm Bureau supports the application to allow for the addition of twelve (12) Marketing Events and the addition of amplified sound so long as it is consistent with the operational requirements of San Joaquin County Development Title Section 9-1075.9(f).
