FILE: 1871-P 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.
