PROJECT INFORMATION:
Project Location: Oasis Road, 1.47-mile to 2-mile east of Jolon Road, King City
APNs: 231-072-003-000; 231-072-004-000; 231-072-005-000; and 421-111-073-000
Zoning: F/40
SUMMARY:
The subject Lot Line Adjustment will re-configure four (4) existing legal lots of record totaling approximately 751.9 combined acres for the purpose of having the property lines align with existing roads and water lines, hence providing for a more viable agricultural operation. The subject lots currently comprise a portion of Williamson Act Agricultural Preserve Land Conservation Contract Nos. 72-44, 69-9, and 68-101. The lots, combined, also comprise the entirety of Assessors’ Parcel Numbers 231-072-003-000, 231-072-004-000, 231-072-005-000, and 421-111-073-000 and will continue to do so following the proposed adjustment. The current configuration consists of approximately 123.63 acres (APN 231-072-003 known as “Lot 15”), 122.64 acres (APN 231-072-004 known as “Lot 16”), 340.40 acres (APN 231-072-005 known
“Lot 17”), and 165.24 acres (APN 421-111-073 known as “Lot A”). This adjustment moves 2.63 acres from Lot 16 and 3.51 acres from Lot A, owned by Loma Del Rio Vineyards, LLC; and adds 2.56 acres to Lot 15 and 3.59 acres to Lot 17, owned by San Bernabe Vineyards, LLC. The purpose of the Lot Line Adjustment is to move 6.14 acres from the Loma Del Rio Vineyard to the San Bernabe Vineyard. The Lot Line Adjustment will result in four (4) lots of 126.18 (Lot 15), 120.01 acres (Lot 16), 343.98 acres (Lot 17), and 161.73 acres (Lot A), as illustrated in Attachment A, Exhibit 2.
