FINDINGS FOR DEVIATION PA-1900082 JOHN AND MARY LYNNE FRANZIA/LATITUDE 37 PARTNERS, LLC. 1. The granting of the Deviation will not be materially detrimental to other property or land uses in the area; • This finding can be made because the proposed winery begins approximately 150-feet from the applicant's front property line which will provide a buffer along East State Route 120 California Highway. The surrounding land uses include primarily agriculture and scattered residences and the proposed development will be consistent with the surrounding land uses. The project is not located along a scenic route or view. 2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended uses that do not apply to other properties in the same zoning district in the vicinity. • This finding can be made because the property has special circumstances related to the location of the existing structures and orchard.Although the parcel is 44.62 acres,the existing structures to be utilized for the project are set back 150 feet from the front property line. The majority of the property is planted in orchards, and also contains a single family residence and accessory buildings. The request for a reduced setback is to allow the proposed small winery to utilize the existing structures. This area is relatively flat. Due to the location of the existing orchard structures,the location for the small winery is limited. 3. The strict application of the regulation deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity. • This finding can be made because the strict application deprives the property owner from developing the property while maintaining the required setbacks. Development Title Section 9-824.2(a)(2) allows up to a forty percent (40%) reduction of the required side yard setback and Development Title Section 9-824.2(a)(3) allows up to a thirty percent (30%) reduction in the required rear yard setback without a public hearing, and this Deviation request meets the requirements. 4. 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 project may be conditionally permitted in the AG40 (General Agriculture40 acre minimum) zone with an approved Use Permit application. The winery expansion is also consistent with the goals, policies,standards and maps of the General Plan. The project must meet the noise ordinance requirements of sixty five (65) dB at the property line. There are no Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity.
