Whoa: Update on county’s winery concentration work

Full cumulative impact report county wide is needed.

Update on county’s winery concentration work

Last week the question of the status of the winery concentration regs from when many of us participated in the “winery working group” was raised,  the response was that it was stalled in the committees (Dry Creek, Sonoma Valley … ) with an offer to ask Georgia for an update.

She replied that she is waiting for the traffic study to conclude before moving forward, hopefully in May. Attached is a more thorough update. Please contact her if you have more questions.

Below Georgia’s attachment is the “new initiatives/programs to prioritize” that will be submitted to the Board for the next planning staff work plan.  You might want to weigh in on that too.

There are two big items on cannabis coming up if you need something else to do.
