.� low Previously Approved Findings �-- 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This finding can be made because the proposed revision to the circulation plan for the large winery is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan. Neither Turner Road nor Davis Road have a Specific Plan, Special Purpose Plan, or any other applicable plans adopted by the County. The modification of the sign requirements is consistent with the General Plan goalS, policies, and standards as well. 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways. • This finding can be made because the Department of Public Works is requiring, as a condition of approval,that the applicants obtain an encroachment permit for work within the right-of-way for the driveway onto Davis Road. The Community Development Department has determined that by surfacing the last 100 feet of the egress driveway and chip sealing the remainder, adequate roadway improvements have been provided. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. • This finding can be made because the amount of traffic to and from the winery is relatively low, and therefore, a one-way ingress and egress driveway is satisfactory. The hours and days of operation for the wine tasting room have not increased as a result of the previous conversion of the small winery to a large winery, and therefore, a reduction in the surfacing requirements from asphalt concrete/Portland cement concrete to chip seal is appropriate. The recommended modification of the sign requirements are the minimum number of signs required to adequately advertise a winery of this size. 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 an Initial Study prepared for this project found no potentially significant environmental impacts. 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. • This finding can be made because the adjacent properties are designated General Agriculture in the General Plan and are zoned AG-40. Permitting the egress driveway to Davis Road is compatible with adjoining land uses because the driveway is located in the middle of a parcel planted in vineyards and owned and operated by Spenker Ranch, Inc. The signs will be located on the same parcel as the winery and will not be located within any County rights-of-way. As a result, the proposed revisions to the Use Permit will not create any safety or compatibility issues with adjoining land uses and property owners.
