The Livermore Planning Commission is slated at Tuesday’s regular meeting to review proposed modifications to the Wine Country Inn project, including the reduction of its building square-footage and the removal of a planned restaurant.
Planned for development on the southwest corner of Arroyo Road and Hansen Road, the Wine Country Inn is proposed to feature 24 single-story, cottage-style buildings with a total of 30 guest bedrooms as well as a meeting space, guest kitchen, lobby building, guest pool and a caretaker’s unit for a total of about 19,100 square feet of building area, according to the agenda.
The latest version of the project is also planned to include 39 paved parking spaces, eight bicycle parking spaces, landscaping with 82 new trees and related on- and off-site improvements, the agenda states.
Under the project’s previously approved Site Plan Design Review, the Wine Country Inn was slated to feature a two-story, 29,345-square-foot building and 77-seat restaurant.
“This modification shifts the project toward a more lodging focused, visitor serving facility without a restaurant,” according to a staff report prepared by Livermore Associate Planner Kam Purewal.
The planning commission is set to consider adopting a resolution approving a Site Plan Design Review Modification for the project as well as a resolution finding that the inn remains within the scope of the previously certified environmental impact report.
The item was continued from the planning commission’s May 5 meeting.
Review of the SPDRM application is considered quasi-judicial, meaning the planning commission is tasked with reviewing the project’s modified site plan, building form and site layout for compliance with the South Livermore Valley Specific Plan, zoning and design standards, the staff report states.
The planning commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (May 19). The agenda is available here.
