Permit AC025-0136

The project involves the replanting of 9.89 acres of vineyard at 7883 Eastside Rd., Windsor, California, under Permit AC025-0136, administered by the Sonoma County Department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures. The activity is classified as a ministerial action under Chapter 36 of the Sonoma County Code and complies with the Vineyard Establishment and Sediment Control Ordinance (VESCO) Best Management Practices and Technical Report Guidelines for replanting, without seeking any deviation from established standards. The project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 21080 and 21110, and no discretionary approval is required. Approval is contingent solely on compliance with objective regulatory criteria, making the process non-competitive and based on technical conformance rather than evaluation of cost, performance, or merit. The applicant, Bernard Orsi of Orsi Vineyards, and the contractor, Mitch Patin of Patin Vineyard Management, are responsible for executing the work in accordance with all applicable local and state agricultural regulations. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the project site in Windsor, CA, with oversight by Sonoma County’s Agriculture department, and no federal contracting clauses, pricing data, payment mechanisms, or standardized packaging or marking requirements apply. The posting period for the notice of exemption runs from November 3, 2025, through December 4, 2025, and required documentation includes a certified exemption finding and Notice of Exemption. No Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, small business certification, or federal accounting codes are involved, as this is a purely local land-use permit with no federal procurement components.
