PROJECT INFORMATION |
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A request by BF5, Inc. for a Plot Plan (PPT220006) to construct a winery, outdoor event area with four two story/two unit guest casita buildings on a production vineyard and olive orchard property (Refer to Appendix A, Plan Set, Sheet AS101 Architectural Site Plan). The developed area will include a wine production building, hospitality building, eight guest casitas, outdoor event area, associated access roads and parking and planted areas consisting of vineyard, olive trees and landscaping. The project will result in disturbance of 4.67 acres with a final impervious area of 2.09 acres for construction of the proposed winery, production building, casitas, and associated entry driveway and parking improvements. The majority of the 20.49 acre parcel is planted in olive trees and vineyard. Project operations will include a special events program including weddings, small private events and wine club member events to be offered on closed winery days and after hours with a maximum guest occupancy of 120 and no amplified outdoor music. The winery and hospitality restaurant will be open to the public Thursday through Sunday during the day only, with evenings and non-operational days available for scheduling of special events.
Grading and subsurface utility trenching activity for the project is anticipated to take three to four months. Construction will occur in four phases with potential for concurrent construction among the phases- Phase 1: Wine Production (nine months), Phase 2-3: Hospitality and Outdoor Patio + structure for Phase 3, Phase 3: T.I. for Kitchen and 2nd Floor (13 months for 2-3), Phase 4: Guest Casitas (8 months). The project is compliant with Ordinance No 348 as a Class V Winery and on-site vineyard with appurtenant and incidental commercial uses.
PROJECT LOCATION: North of Los Nogales Road, east of Rancho California Road, south of Monte de Oro Road, west of Camino del Vino. APN: 942-210-062
