Analysis Background The site currently contains 400,000 square feet of industrial buildings and tanks previously used by the Guild Winery. There are also approximately six acres of untended grape vines on the site. The applicant intends to lease portions of the site to various vintners for the production, bottling, chilling, and storage of wine. Tasting facilities may also be provided as an accessory use. While the applicant's intent is that the facility will cater predominantly to agricultural users, he intends to lease a portion of the facility to an importer and distributor of seasonal items (toys) on a temporary basis (18 months) for the storage and distribution of their case goods. Bases for Zone Reclassification Prior to approving an application for a Zone Reclassfcation, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors must determine that the proposed zone district is consistent with the General Plan and that the proposed zone is reasonable and beneficial. The General Plan's Grown Accommodation Implementation Standard No. 4.b. states: 'Urban zones shall be applied to areas planned for urban development only when those areas are needed for development and when services are or can be made available, except for infill areas which may be zoned with urban zones prior to the availability of public services. Until that time, the area shall be zoned Agricuiture-Urban Reserve.' The project site is already developed industrially and is adjacent to industrially planned and developed land within the City of Lodi. Thus, the project site could be considered as infill development, and full public services would not be required to rezone the property. In the future, should the applicant require additional planning permits or divisions of land, public services may be required. San Joaquin County ZR-96-2/Lodi Storage Community [Development -8-
