Meeting Recap: We walked through the Draft Ordinance to allow winery operations within RR zones (i.e., by-right allowances, parking, minimum lot size, noise) as well as rules for the existing by-right Boutique winery tier related to allowed tasting/retail areas, amplified live music, and setback requirements for amplified live music. Attendees asked questions, provided feedback on the draft amendment, saw how public input shaped the Draft Ordinance so far, and learned about upcoming participation opportunities.

We are hosting a virtual Office Hour for anyone who has additional questions or comments regarding the project.

Please join us at the Office Hour meeting using the link provided below. 

Reminder that the Draft Ordinance is available to review for a 30-day comment period, ending on August 6, 2026. Please submit all comments to Ashley Rivero at PDS.LongRangePlanning@sdcounty.ca.gov.

Please help us spread the word - share this message with family, friends, neighbors, businesses, and colleagues!
