Riverstar Wines LLC Minor Use Permit DRC2003-00133 (ED03-573)

Request by Riverstar Wineries LLC for a Minor Use Permit to allow for the conversion of an existing 6226 square foot barn to a wine production facility and to convert an existing 2952 square-foot barn to a wine tasting room and case storage area. Additionally, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the requirement that wineries with tasting rooms and special events be located 200 feet from the property line and is proposing to place the winery and tasting room 50 feet from the property line. The applicant is proposing to hold up to six special events a year with a maximum of 80 persons attending each event. Because all structures are existing, the only permanent site disturbance associated with the project will be the construction of a secondary access road which will result in appoximately 4680 square feet of disturbance on a 75 acre parcel. The proposed project is within the Agriculture land use category and is located at 7450 Estrella Road. The project is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Estrella and Airport Road approximately three miles from the town of San Miguel. The site is in the El Pomar-Estrella planning area.
