Proposed physical changes to the winery include an increase in parking on-site from 45 to 106 stalls; construction of an approximately 6,000 square foot winery structure addition; installation of covers over outdoor work areas; renovation of existing storage buildings to winery accessory use; and related utility modifications to correspond to the requested permit amendments.
