The Inn at the Abbey Project (Project) includes construction of a 79-room hotel that would be split between the North Parcel (50 rooms) and the South Parcel (29 rooms). The Project would include demolition of three existing structures totaling approximately 10,050 square feet. These buildings are currently used as a restaurant, retail wine shop, art gallery, and five-room motel. Demolition activities would also include removal of asphalt concrete driveways and surface parking areas, as well as concrete slabs. Overall, the Project would involve approximately 78,500 square feet of new construction. The Project Applicant has also offered public benefits and improvements as terms of a Development Agreement including an at grade street crossing enhancement to the existing Vine Trail crossing at SR 29 and Lodi Lane and the provision of affordable housing units for employees. Project construction is expected to occur over approximately 36 months.
