Two project buildings include: a 20,284 sq. ft. winery building, and a 7,167 sq. ft. farm market building with an integrated commercial kitchen and a 540 sq .ft. caretaker dwelling unit on the 2nd floor. The buildings would be sited around an outdoor courtyard. A creek overlook area with outdoor seating would be installed east of the winery near Kellogg Creek.

A total of 88 paved and unpaved parking spaces would be provided on site for the winery and farm market between the buildings and Walnut Blvd.
