Winery Ordinance Update Project

Winery Ordinance Update Project

The Winery Ordinance Update project amends the existing winery ordinance that regulates wineries located on agriculturally zoned land designated as rural or inner-rural and located in the unincorporated, inland portion of Santa Barbara County. The existing winery ordinance consists of Section 35.42.280 (Wineries) and Section 35.110.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) of the Santa Barbara County's Land Use and Development Code. The Project addresses issues with tasting rooms, food service and food preparation, winery special events, neighborhood compatibility, and enforcement and monitoring. The Project does not affect tasting rooms in commercial areas, special events on lots without a winery, or approved wineries unless they apply for a new or revised permit.
