title
JOHN BREMER ETAL TRUST / BREMER FAMILY WINERY / USE PERMIT MAJOR MODIFICATION NO. P22-00086-MOD & EXCEPTION TO THE NAPA COUNTY ROAD & STREET STANDARDS
CEQA STATUS: Consideration and possible adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. According to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts with implementation of Mitigation Measures for Biological Resources. This project is not on any lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.
REQUEST: The proposal is to modify an existing winery Use Permit and to increase production, increase annual visitation, establish a marketing plan, increase the number employees, allow on-site consumption, construct an additional driveway connection to Deer Park Road, increase on-site parking, replace the existing wastewater treatment system, and modify the number of water storage tanks, on the vineyard property, for vineyard irrigation. The proposal also includes a request for an Exception to the Napa County Road and Street Standards to allow for an exception from requiring the installation of a left turn lane on Deer Park Road. The project site is comprised of two properties totaling approximately 46.09-acres, located at 975 Deer Park Road, slightly offset from the intersection of Deer Park Road and Sanitarium Road: the 26.65-acre winery property (APN 021-400-002) and the 20.44-acre vineyard property (APN 021-420-027).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permit Modification and Exception to the Road and Street Standards subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
