Plot Plan No 26225, Revised Permit No. 1 proposes to expand the existing wine tasting/production building of 4,851 square feet (sf) by adding an additional 6,075 sf (total 10,926 sf). The expanded building area will consist of increased wine production area, wine storage, wine lab, barrel washroom, staff restrooms, staff breakroom, offices conference room, and a covered tractor parking area. Additionally, the existing wine tasting/production building area will be modified to add a delicatessen and wine tasting bar. The original patios cover attached to the building will be removed and replaced with nine free-standing patio covers, along with the addition of an outdoor wine tasting bar and refrigeration unit. Additionally, the existing Class V Winery seeks to include limited indoor/outdoor special occasions and events on site and will remove the previously entitled Winery Hotel for an additional 132 parking spaces in the same location. No other changes or revisions are proposed then what was already previously approved under the original entitlement.
