Permit ACO25-0136 is a Notice of Exemption for a vineyard replanting project located at 7883 Eastside Rd in Windsor, Sonoma County. The project, initiated by Bernard Orsi of Orsi Vineyards, involves the replanting of 9.89 acres of vineyard. The work is being carried out by Mitch Patin of Patin Vineyard Management. Because the project meets the ministerial criteria for approval under Sonoma County Code 36.02.070, it is exempt from environmental review. The Sonoma County Department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures serves as the approving agency. The project must strictly adhere to the ministerial standards established in Chapter 36 of the Sonoma County Code, as well as the Best Management Practices and Technical Report Guidelines for New Vineyard and Orchard Development, Vineyard and Orchard Replanting, and Agricultural Grading and Drainage (VESCO). The notice was officially posted on November 3, 2025, and is scheduled to remain posted for a thirty-day period through December 4, 2025. For administrative inquiries, the lead agency contact is Andy Casarez, the Agriculture and Vineyard Conservation Coordinator.
