4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. • This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for the project found no potentially significant environmental impacts. In addition, a noise study to assess the potential impacts of outdoor amplified sound to sensitive receptors determined that the project would not present a significant impact to nearby residents. 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because the proposed use will not interfere with nor alter the current land uses on adjacent properties. The surrounding land uses are agricultura! with scattered residences to the north, south, east, and west. The nearest residence is located approximately 490 feet east of the winery operations. Williamson Act Compatibility Principles Pursuant to Government Code Section 51238.1, uses approved on contracted lands shall be consistent with the following three principles of compatibility. 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;will 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.
