PA-2600176 (TE)

Project PA-2600176 (TE) is a two-year time extension application for Site Approval No. UP-97-0016, concerning the expansion of a large winery operated by The Wine Group LLC in Acampo, San Joaquin County. Located at 5950 E Woodbridge Rd, the project is situated within an AG-49 General Agriculture zone and is not under a Williamson Act Contract. The expansion is structured in five phases over a twelve-year period. Phase 1 involves a 1,000 square foot break awning, a 2,500 square foot arbor, and an upgraded wastewater system for vineyard irrigation. Phase 2 includes a 272,941 square foot case goods warehouse and the relocation of a 195 square foot shed. Phase 3 consists of a 277,900 square foot warehouse facility. Phase 4 adds 87 parking spaces and a 4,000 square foot training and hospitality center, while Phase 5 involves a 13,000 square foot public relations facility. The project utilizes on-site well and septic systems, natural drainage for storm water, and has direct access to East Woodbridge Road. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department has filed a Notice of Exemption, asserting that this time extension is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under section 15061(b)(3), as it is determined that the project has no possibility of causing a significant environmental effect. The primary point of contact for the agency is Associate Planner Jacob Pahule, with Karen Gonzalez serving as the manager for the project.
