Request for a Use Permit to convert and expand an existing barn to a 2,794 sq. ft. winery, convert a 1,268 sq. ft. accessory dwelling unit to a tasting room, and to construct a 5,000 sq. ft. production cave, a 1,235 sq. ft. covered crush pad, a 1,040 sq. ft. mechanical enclosure, and a 900 sq. ft. unenclosed covered parking structure with an ADA restroom. The request includes a Variance to allow use of existing buildings and new buildings within Napa County winery road setbacks. Parking improvements include seven standard and two accessible spaces. Driveway improvements include widening and installation of intervisible turnouts along sub-standard segments of the road in areas outside of stream setbacks, as well as signage and management of vegetation to maintain line of sight. Two outdoor patios will be used for outdoor seating and onsite consumption of wine (Business & Professions Code §23358, 23390 and 23396.5). The winery would be constructed in two phases: Phase I includes the tasting room, winery barn, three employees, and production of 5,000 gallons per year; Phase II increases production to 30,000 gallons per year, five employees, and cave and crush pad construction. The project includes daily visitation, tours and tasting, and a marketing program with seven events.
