t 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. 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 properties surrounding the project site are zoned AG-40 and are being used for agricultural purposes. Williamson Act Compatibilily Principles 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 finding can be made because the Off-Site Wine Cellar is accessory to a vineyard; the project involves only 4.00 acres of an approximately 31 acre parcel; and the Off-Site Wine Cellar and associated marketing events promote agricultural products (wine) and encourage the production of more vineyards. I 2. The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations onfthe 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 relate 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 finding can be made because the use, including parking areas,will occur mostly on property that is not farmed or likely to be farmed in the reasonably foreseeable future. Only about 24 parking spaces (4,320 square feet)will displace reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations. In any case,the proposed wine cellar and marketing events relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products because they are for the storage and promotion of the wine produced by the vineyards grown on the property. 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 noncontracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves. • This finding can be made because the proposed use,Winery and Wine Cellars,Wine Cellar, Off-Site,will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. Therefore it will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open-space use. San Joaquin County= PA-08002031Panella Community Development Page 6
