HALL WINERY / HALL ST. HELENA WINERY LLC & HALL HIGHWAY 29 WINERY LLC - USE PERMIT MODIFICATION P11-00452
CEQA status: Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) previously prepared and adopted on January 18, 2006. The majority of the proposed modifications to this project are within the scope of the analysis of the previously approved Subsequent MND. The increase in floor area is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, which exempts minor additions and alterations to an existing structure and 15311, Class 11, which exempts small parking lots. This project is not on any of the lists of Hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code section 65962.5.
Request: Approval of a modification to previous use permit approvals for the Hall winery to update the phasing plan and to allow the following improvements as part of Phase 3: 1) restoration of the historic Peterson-Bergfeld building including use of the first floor for barrel storage and previously approved marketing events and use of the second floor for previously approved marketing events instead of the display of viticultural, enological and historic items; 2) reducing the floor area of Production Building 2.2 from 30,249 sq. ft. to 19,347 sq. ft. (a loss of 10,902 sq. ft.); 3) construction of a new 9,965 sq. ft two-story hospitility building attached to the north side of Production Building 2.2 (a gain of 9965 sq. ft.); 4) construction of a new 5,500 sq. ft. two-story office building attached to the east side of Production Buildings 2.1 and 2.2, replacing the previously approved 3,902 sq. ft. reception/viticulture control building ( a gain of 1,598 sq. ft.); 5) 25 new parking spaces on a pervious surface located north of the existing parking lot; 6) construction of a new 990 sq. ft. unenclosed outdoor terrace west the Peterson-Bergfeld building; and 7) construction of a new 500 sq. ft. outdoor barbecue/restroom pavilion with approximately 460 sq. ft. of enclosed floor area northwest of the Peterson-Bergfeld building. The following improvements would occur as part of Phase 4: 8) construction of the previously approved 10,902 sq. ft. hospitality building west of the Peterson-Bergfeld building; 9) construction/relocation of the previously approved 19,361 sq. ft. Production Building 1 northwest of the Peterson-Bergfeld building which will require the removal of the 500 sq. ft. outdoor barbecue/restroom building; 10) construction of the previously approved 29,093 sq. ft. Production Buildings 3.2 and 3.3 between existing Production Building 3.1 and the pond; 11) conversion of the existing 1,752 sq. ft. distillery building to display viticultural, enological and historic items; and 12) conversion of the existing 3,080 sq. ft. public tasting area to office use. The proposed project would result in a net gain of 661 sq. ft. of floor area. No changes to production, tours and tasting, marketing, number of employees, hours of operation, or general building locations/setbacks are proposed. The winery is located on a 33.2 acre site on the west side of State Route 29, between Lewelling Lane to the north and Inglewood Avenue to the south within an Agricultural Preserve (AP) zoning district. APN’s: 027-120-052, 061 (SFAP) & 062 (SFAP). 401 S. St. Helena Highway, St. Helena.
Staff Recommendation: Find the majority of the proposed modifications to this project are within the scope of the analysis of the previously approved Subsequent MND and that the increase in floor area is categorically exempt and approve the requested use permit modification as conditioned.
