UPE24-0048; Amann Winery

Project UPE24-0048 is a use permit for the Amann Winery located on 20.45 acres in Healdsburg, California. The project involves the construction of a 16,264 square foot all-electric winery building designed for the annual production of 30,000 winery-labeled cases, with an additional custom crush capacity of 50,000 cases. The facility will include a tasting room serving up to 50 persons daily, seven days a week, and will host 20 agricultural promotion events annually between March and October, with event capacities ranging from 50 to 300 people. The development emphasizes sustainability and regulatory compliance, requiring a natural-gas-free building compliant with Title 24 Energy Code, CALGreen Tier 2 EV charging infrastructure, and a 15 percent reduction in vehicle miles traveled. Key operational requirements include the installation of IAPMO PS-1 standard septic systems, dark-sky compliant exterior lighting, and adherence to the California Fire Code. The project is subject to strict environmental and cultural oversight, including mandatory tribal or archaeological monitoring during grading and compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Administrative oversight is managed by the Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management Department, with final acceptance contingent upon on-site verification of all zoning, environmental, and construction standards.
