Noise: Development Title Section 9-1025.9 states the following: "The hourly equivalent sound level (Leg) shall average no more than 50 dB nor exceed the maximum (Lmax) of 70 dB during the daytime hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Where the location of outdoor activity areas is unknown or is not applicable, the noise standard shall be applied at the property line of the receiving land use. Each of the noise level standards shall be reduced by 5 dB for impulsive noise, single tone noise, or noise consisting primarily of speech or music." Although special events and marketing events do permit both indoor- and outdoor-amplified noise, marketing events shall end by 10 p.m. (Development Title Section 9-1075.5[m]). The applicants have stated that marketing and special events are expected to end by 7 p.m. during the summertime. Approximately six (6) of the marketing events will include outdoor amplified music. The winery is located on an 81.85-acre parcel owned by Spenker Ranch, Inc. The winery is surrounded by agricultural land also owned by Spenker Ranch, Inc. Seventy-one (71) acres border the eastern property line, and 156 acres border the west property line of the winery. The majority of the adjacent 227 acres are planted in vineyards. The nearest neighbor is located approximately 1,300 feet east of the winery on the opposite side of Davis Road. Traffic: The neighbors are also concerned about the amount of traffic generated as a result of the large number of attendees at the events. The attendees of the marketing events will be entering and exiting off of Turner Road. The driveway is required to have a minimum width of twenty-five (25) feet for two-way traffic. Two (2) parking attendants will be available throughout the events to direct traffic. San Joaquin County UP-98-3\Spenker Ranch Community Development Page 4
