Title

P19-00128-P21-00351 Jericho Winery Major Modification

Description

Initial Study/Negative Declaration. The request is for approval for a modification of the previous project approvals for an existing 20,000 gallons per year winery. The proposal is to recognize the days and hours of operation, number of employees, visitation levels, the expansion of the approved cave, and use of a portion of the residential garage for winery use, which were not permitted in the previously approved Use Permit or modifications. In addition, the application also seeks to expand its entitlements to modify the hours of operation, further increase the number of employees and visitation levels, modify the marketing plan, further expand the cave, increase production, convert the existing agricultural barn to a hospitality building, install additional parking spaces, use an existing outdoor area for hospitality and on-premises consumption, and make improvements to existing utilities including the water system, wastewater system, and driveway. The project includes an Exception to the Conservation Regulations due to the winery’s location directly adjacent to Jericho creek. The Exception would recognize existing improvements installed prior to the Conservation Regulations or in association with previously approved entitlements, as well as new physical improvements requested as part of the project expansion. The project includes an exception to the Road and Street Standards for reduced widening on portions of the existing on-site driveway, in order to reduce work in the stream setback of Jericho Creek.
