STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Patti Standley is requesting a specific use permit to allow a winery in
a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District.
The property is located at 6755 Phelan.
In July, 2006, City Council approved an ordinance amendment to
allow wineries and micro-breweries in CBD, GC-MD and GC-MD-2
with a specific use permit. At the time, Ms. Standley was looking at
opening a winery in the downtown area. However, she has now
found a new location at the aforementioned address.
D=Vine Wine is a franchise-based local winery utilizing grapes and
juices from around the world. These grapes/juices are then processed
on site and will provide individuals the opportunity to bottle, cork and
label their own selections. D=Vine Wine will also offer wine tastings.
Exhibits are attached.
