Adobe Road Winery

The project involves the construction of a three-story 13,718 square-foot building containing a winery, tasting room, private event space, and motorsports gallery, collectively operating as the Adobe Road Winery. The proposal also includes improvements to the public frontages along C Street and First Street.

The project required a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Food and Beverage Production and Manufacturing use, an Alcoholic Beverage Sales/Retail use, and a Bar/Tavern (tasting) use; the motorsports gallery was a principally permitted use.

The private event space was conditioned to limit the type, frequency of events, and number of guests per event, as follows:

Event Type	#/Year	Guests (max)
Wine Club Releases	4	50
Promotional Events	20	50
Charitable Events	4	75
Industry Promotional Events	3	100
Trade Open House	1	100
Banquets	6	100
Corporate Team Building	12	120
Weddings	10	150

 

The project will also provide for enhancements to public access along the Petaluma River to include:

• A $50,000.00 donation toward the proposed C Street Park, fishing pier, and/or future floating dock at the terminus of C Street that abuts the project site;
• Site planning to ensure that the project will not preclude future development of a multi-use path along the portion of the Petaluma River that abuts the site;
• Accommodation for a potential floating boardwalk that may be constructed along the portion of the Petaluma River that abuts the site; and
• Trailside signage to further the City’s River Awareness Policies set forth in the River Access and Enhancement Plan.
