PROPOSED SOUTH LIVERMORE VALLEY PLAN January 4, 1991 Page 4 acres and the remaining acreage is planted in wine grapes or a compara~ ,;: orchard crop, with suitable mechanisms or contracts to maintain productive vineyards and orchards; and F. Very limited commercial uses which promote the area's image as a wine region may be permitted subject to issuance of a conditional use permit. These would normaRy be limited to the two acre buildable area described in § E above. A small bed-and-breakfast inn is an example of an appropriate commercial use. Wineries and related uses may be permitted on a larger site area, but in no case should commercial and residential uses cover more than ten percent of the parcel. A full list of conditionally-permitted commercial uses and standards will be developed. 2. Wine Country_ Center: To promote and reinforce the wine county image of the South Livermore Valley, creation of one wine country center is allowed, located near the existing wine museum in Ravenswood Park. Appropriate uses in the center would include wine tasting rooms and accessory gift shops; restaurants; inns; resort hotels, not to exceed 200 guest rooms; conference centers; recreation facilities; and retail outlets such as gourmet food stores, gift shops, an galleries, and dealers in other merchandise oriented to the wine country visitor trade. A visitor information center could be located within the park or the center. 3. C0nditionally Developable Land: All remaining land within the Vineyard Area is suitable for grazing and may be suitable for cultivated agricultural uses. Lands of less than 25 percent slope may also be considered potentially developable. This land shah remain under the base Vineyard District zoning. Provided they will have a positive effect on the growth and preservation of agriculture, particularly viticulture, certain types of residential and commercial uses may be allowed in the primary study area under PD (Planned Development) District zoning, subject to the following conditions: A. Property owners representing a minimum of 200 contiguous acres of conditionally developable land apply for rezoning to a Planned Development District to allow for consideration of residential development. Rezoning applications also may be considered on smaller areas that are adjacent to an existing PD District. This would allow use of optimal development patterns such as clustering to ensure the best treatment of the land. This would also allow a scale of development in line with the stated objectives of the plan, including preclusion of scattered development and provision of logical infrastructure. B. Residential development may occur at a gross density not to exceexi one unit per acre for lands that are less than 25 percent slope. Total holding capacity for conditionally developable land may not exceed 2,675 units. (See Appendix A.) C. Commercial and recreational uses, such as golf courses, restaurants, inns, and conference centers, which promote the wine country image may be permitted as conditional uses. A full
