PROPOSED METHOD FOR EVALUATING FUTURE WINERY VISITATION PROPOSALS
CEQA Status: Procedures by definition do not change the law, but provide for its implementation. Therefore the proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and CEQA is not applicable. Also, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment and therefore CEQA is not applicable pursuant to the General Rule contained in the Guidelines For the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, 14 CCR 15061(b)(3).
Request: Continued study session discussion and possible action item to review staff proposed guidelines for evaluating the levels of visitation and marketing events for winery use permit proposals. The Planning Commission has previously requested that staff provide a framework that would allow a more informed and detailed discussion of comparing applications for winery visitation.
Staff Recommendation: Take public comment on and provide direction regarding the preparation of draft guidelines that would do the following:
Create a baseline for total annual visitation (including both tasting room and marketing events), based on the median of all post-WDO wineries that are within ten percent of the application's proposed production
Establish a list of modifying factors that the Commission may use in their discretion to adjust the visitation baseline, taking into account any unique locational and/or operational characteristics of the application.
