Description of proposed project The project is potentially a five phase project over a ten year period. Phase 1 includes constructing a 10,000 square foot storage facility. The building will be constructed in a manner to allow expansion in 10,000 square foot increments (Phases 2-5). The future phases will be used for either storage or potentially additional bottling. Phase 2 proposes the construction of a 35,000 square foot event center, tasting room and executive offices. Sufficient parking and landscaping will be constructed as deemed necessary with the ultimate building design. Any required overflow parking for events will be provided on site. Any events in the Phase 2 building will be limited to 50 attendees. There will be no amplified or outdoor music. There will be a maximum of thirty vehicle trips per hour at the peak time. Work Shifts/Hours The current shift hours for the winery are 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday thru Friday. There are six employees with no customers. There are approximately 10 vehicles per shift. This scenario will remain the same with the addition of Phase 1. Phases 2-5 would maintain the same business hours and days. Employees may increase depending on production but not significantly. The expansion of Phases 2-5 might double the employees to twelve. The Phase 2 hours and employees will be determined based on the specific event. Events will be limited to 50 people and hours will be limited to whatever is allowed by ordinance. Typically an event would be mid afternoon to early evening. Temporary employees (parking attendants, custodial, etc.) may be used based on the need of the specific event. Off Street Parking Employee parking for the winery operation will be provided in the proximity of the winery. I am asking for a parking variance to reduce the required number of stalls (25 spaces/1000 sf of building). Strict adherence to that ordinance would require over 100 parking stalls just to the winery. I currently have six employees. I propose eleven conventional stalls plus one ADA stall with the Phase 1 development. Future phases can be evaluated upon building plan submittal. Permanent parking stalls will be provided with the Phase 2 improvements. The number will be evaluated closer with the design of the building design. This application proposes 76 stalls with the understanding that it may increase when the Phase 2 plans are designed. Any necessary overflow parking for events will be provided on-site. In order to keep the ambiance of the vineyard setting, minimal parking will be provided adjacent to the event center. ADA stalls, and several other stalls will be near the center. The remainder will be closer to the winery as guests will be valeted to the event center.
