The proposed winery development will remove 0.63 acres of vineyard and completely avoid the existing woodland on site. The closest water source is Conn Creek, which is immediately west of the parcel and runs along the western property line. As proposed the project maintains a stream setback consistent with Napa County Code (NCC) section 18.108.025, which requires a 45-foot setback from Conn Creek, based on the existing 1-5% slopes of the parcel. The main winery structure will be located more than 150 feet from Conn Creek, while the proposed parking improvements maintain an approximately 88-foot setback from the top of bank. The parcel is currently developed with an active vineyard, and has been actively managed as agriculture since the 1940's. No work ls proposed within the required stream setback from Conn Creek
