Permit ACO26-0069

The project involves the replanting of 5.10 acres of vineyard in Windsor, California, under Permit ACO26-0069, without seeking any deviation from the ministerial standards established in Chapter 36 of the Sonoma County Code or the Best Management Practices and Technical Report Guidelines for New Vineyard and Orchard Development, Vineyard and Orchard Replanting, and Agricultural Grading and Drainage. The work is being managed by MCDONOUGH WINERY LLC, with Nick Leighton serving as Vineyard Manager and Cort Munselle as the engineering consultant. All activities are designed to comply fully with local agricultural and environmental regulations, ensuring that replanting proceeds within existing approved parameters for land use, drainage, and grading. The primary point of contact for the project is Andy Casarez, the Agriculture and Vineyard Conservation Coordinator for Sonoma County, who can be reached via email or phone. The project was posted on June 26, 2026, as a forecast under the Sonoma County agency and is associated with a public record accessible through the CEQA Net portal. No procurement or bidding process is indicated, as this is a regulatory permitting action for a private vineyard operation. The scope is strictly limited to replanting, with no expansion, change in crop type, or alteration of existing land use standards proposed.
