marketing events that will have over 150 attendees. The applicant has chosen to limit the marketing events to a maximum of 150 attendees. Therefore, no traffic study was required. Neighborhood Opposition The Community Development Department has received two letters of opposition to the project. The letters express concerns regarding allowing weddings in an agricultural zone, traffic, and noise. The first letter states, in part, "We cannot accommodate a 'Wine and Rases' type of facility on these roads. A granting of this permission would be walking a fine line as to false pretenses of obtaining a permit. This private residence has already undergone the transformation needed to hold special events. The physical structure for the wine tasting room is already established and there have recently been several large wedding functions held at this home. None of the wedding parties were related to the property owner. The events (one complete with a fireworks show after 10:00 p.m.)were noisy and disruptive to the neighboring residences." This application is for an off-site wine cellar that will have marketing events. Marketing events can take many forms, but they all must promote wine and have wine from the associated vineyard for sale. Marketing events may have either indoor or outdoor amplified sound. There will be a condition of approval that states that marketing events must end by 10:00 p.m. Fireworks are not part of this permit. The second letter makes several conclusions based on a telephone conversation with the project planner. The statements are listed below with the Community Development Department responses listed in bold. 1. Applications of this type are normally approved, regardless of what neighbors think.
