KENZO ESTATES / KENZO ESTATES, INC / USE PERMIT MAJOR MODIFICATION P15-00293-MOD

CEQA Status: Consideration and possible adoption of a Negative Declaration. According to the proposed Negative Declaration, the project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts. The project site is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.

Request: Approval for a modification of the previous project approvals (Use Permit 03513-UP, Very Minor Modification #PO8-00196-MODVMIN, Very Minor Modification #P08-00635MODVIN, Very Minor Modification #P09-00334-VMOD, Very Minor Modification #P10-00025-VMM, Very Minor Modification #P11-00487-VMM, Minor Modification #P12-00434-MOD) for an existing 85,000 gallons per year winery to allow the following: (a) Increase production from 85,000 gallons to 102,000 gallons annually; (b) Increase daily tours and tastings by appointment from a maximum of 25 daily visitors and 75 weekly visitors to a maximum of 50 visitors Monday-Thursday and 100 visitors Friday-Sunday for the months May through October with a weekly maximum of 250 visitors; and for 50 visitors Monday-Thursday and 75 visitors Friday-Sunday for the months November through April with a weekly maximum of 150 (Tours and Tastings will not exceed 50 visitors on days when marketing events are held); (c) Modify the approved Marketing Plan from 25 events with 50 guests maximum per year and two (2) events with 150 guests maximum per year to 36 events per year with 50 guests maximum, four (4) events per year with 150 guests maximum, and two (2) events per year with 75 guests maximum; (d) Increase the number of employees from nine (9) full-time and two (2) part-time employees to 17 full-time and six (6) part-time seasonal employees; (e) On-site premises consumption of wines produced on site within the hospitality building and enclosed/outdoor patio spaces in accordance with Business and Professions Code Sections 23358, 23390 and 23396.5; (f) Expand the existing wastewater treatment and disposal systems to handle the increase in winery process wastewater; and (g) Removal of the previous condition of approval imposing a 25% winery production limitation on custom grape crush producers. The project also includes a Napa County Road and Streets Standards Exception request to the Public Works Director to allow for an exception to the requirement to install a left turn lane on Monticello Road. The project will incorporate specific operational characteristics designed to limit the number of trips turning left into the site, including directing daily and marketing event visitors to arrive from Napa. Additionally, the applicant has previously improved SR-121/Monticello Road in the form of an eight-foot wide shoulder along the north side of the road, a total length of 500 feet, centered on (and across from) the project entry driveway, based on Caltrans’ request at the time of the original development on the site. This widening provides an area where westbound traffic on Monticello Road can carefully bypass a waiting left- turning vehicle, if necessary. Pursuant to the Napa County Road and Street Standards, the approval authority for this exception is the Public Works Director because the exception is located within a public right of way. This request has been tentatively approved by the Public Works Department, as stated in their memo dated May 6, 2016. Formal action on this exception will be taken by the Public Works Director after the Planning Commission makes a decision on the Use Permit Modification application as a whole. There are no changes to the 53,145 sq. ft. existing winery facility, inclusive of 18,000 sq. ft. of existing wine caves, winery hours of operations (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM), visitation hours (9:00 AM to 4:00 PM), marketing event hours (7:00 PM to 10:00 PM Fridays and on weekends, and from Noon to 2:30 PM on weekends) or increase in the number of parking spaces (22 spaces) as part of this proposal. The project is located on a 36.13 acre parcel, within the AW (Agricultural Watershed) zoning district on the west side of a private road approximately 3,500 feet south of its intersection with State Route 121/Monticello Road; 3200 Monticello Road, Napa CA 94558; APN: 033-110-075.

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permit Major Modification, as conditioned.
