an existing olive orchard 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 subject 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 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 Principle of Compatibility can be made because although the use may displace current agricultural operations, the proposed winery and marketing events and olive mill relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products because they are for the promotion of the wine and olives produced by the vineyards and olive orchards grown on the property and surrounding lands in San Joaquin County. The proposed use, including parking areas, will occur on 2.00 acres of two parcels totaling 38.00 acres. The remaining portion of the parcel will continue to remain as olive orchards. 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 Principle of Compatibility can be made because the proposed uses, a winery and olive mill, will encourage continued and expanded agricultural uses in the area. The surrounding properties are 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. The applicant expects to produce 36,000 gallons of wine per year and will have wine available for sale at each marketing event. The wine will be sold exclusively from the host winery. The parcel has approximately 36 acres of olive orchards and the property owner is a grape grower. The winery with marketing events and olive mill will encompass approximately 2.00 acres. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the required three principles of compatibility pursuant to Government Code Section 51238.1. Sign Modification The proposed project consists of a sign modification pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1710.40) to modify the maximum permitted square footage per sign face for two proposed signs. The applicant is requesting to modify the sign face for a wall mounted sign from the permitted 50 square feet to 100 square feet and requesting to modify the sign face for a pole sign from the permitted 50 square feet to 144 square feet. 4
