EDNA WINERY MODIFICATION REQUEST - AMEND2025-00004/ED25-0215

The project pertains to a modification request for Edna Winery in San Luis Obispo County, California, seeking approval to expand its food service area from the permitted maximum of 800 square feet to a total of 1,758 square feet within existing structures. The expansion includes serving an extended menu across approximately 1,608 square feet of existing dining space and adding a new 147-square-foot deli counter for grab-and-go items, all supported by the existing 554-square-foot commercial kitchen. This change remains incidental to the primary function of the 24,800-square-foot winery and tasting facility, with no new construction, grading, or increase in traffic anticipated. The request is processed under San Luis Obispo County Ordinance 22.30.570.A.1.(c), which governs food service limitations in agricultural zoning, and has been determined eligible for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15061(b)(3), concluding no significant environmental impact is reasonably possible. The project applicant, David Bush of Peppertree Business Plaza LLC, submitted the request with supporting documentation including a Notice of Exemption and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination, and has paid all associated administrative fees totaling $204.00. The lead agency, San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building, is responsible for review and approval, with Cindy Chambers serving as the primary point of contact. The process is purely regulatory and permitting-based, with no federal contract, procurement, invoicing mechanism, or FAR-related clauses applicable. Payment for fees is handled through the County Clerk-Recorder’s office and state agencies via check, credit, or cash. No federal entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or contracting officer assignments are involved, as this is a local land use modification, not a federal acquisition.
