BACKGROUND: FILE NO. C.U.P. #2025-002, Yolo Fill Station: Farm to Table Retail & Food Trucks Thaddeus Barsotti CITY OF WINTERS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT March 25, 2025 APPLICANT Thaddeus Barsotti OWNER Thaddeus Barsotti REPRESENTATIVE Thaddeus Barsotti 8

2 REQUEST C.U.P. for Stationary Food Vendors and Farm to Table Retail, and Alcohol Sales for On- and Off-Site Consumption. ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO 003-155-005 PARCEL SIZE .25 Acres LOCATION 400 Railroad Avenue EXISTING ZONING D-A (Downtown Business District-Form Based Code) SURROUNDING ZONING D-A (Downtown Business District-Form Based Code) SURROUNDING LAND USE “Downtown A” GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION “Downtown A” ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332. COMMENTS RECEIVED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS: 1. Building Department:  Building and electrical permits shall be required for the relocation of the electrical panel and for any other work which requires a building or electrical permit as determined by the City of Winters Building Official. 2. Fire Department: No Comments. 3. Police Department: The police department is concerned with the height of the proposed perimeter fence specifically where the fence meets the corner of Abbey Street and Railroad as it pertains to line of sight safety. The Police Department will be comfortable with the proposed fence as long as the applicant agrees to alter the fencing from horizontal slats to vertical slats providing at least six inches between slats. 4. Public Works Department: No Comments. 5. Engineering:  Engineering will review the exterior improvement plans to ensure City and state design requirements are met for grading and drainage, utilities, and stormwater management (if required).  Accessible path of travel and parking requirements shall be maintained to meet CBC Chapter 11B.  Confirm traffic study needed to implement traffic calming measures at this 9

3 intersection.  Fire Access and protection shall be considered to maintain code requirements. ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing a Conditional Use Permit to allow a stationary food vendor to operate two food trucks. Two food truck parking spaces will be provided (with available seating for 20 patrons), farm to table retail (including beer and wine sales), seasonal farm products, meats, picnic fixings, garden items, and local preserves at 400 Railroad Avenue. The subject parcel is assigned Assessor’s Parcel Number 003-155-005, pursuant to the Official Records of Yolo County, California and is approximately a quarter of an acre. The proposed project location has a Zoning Designation of D-A FBC (Downtown Business District-Form Based Code) and a Land Use Designation of “Downtown A” pursuant to the City of Winters General Plan, 1992. The project site is located at the corner of Abbey Street and Railroad Avenue at 400 Railroad Avenue, directly across the street from Hotel Winters in Downtown Winters. The applicant’s vision is to renovate the building while preserving its original gas station charm, as well as enhancing the surrounding space. The goal is to transform the property into a dynamic venue for retail and a community hub that connects people to local farm products. The space will offer a family-friendly environment where visitors can purchase local farm products, garden supplies, picnic essentials, and food truck offerings. The applicant proposes two building suites. Suite A would be retail and Suite B would be a warehouse. SUITE A: Retail (Original Gas Station Space with the Rock Siding) This area will feature a retail store showcasing regional wines, beers, olive oils, seasonal farm products, meats, picnic fixings, garden items, and preserves. Yolo County and its neighboring regions are home to many talented winemakers, brewers, and artisans who create high-quality beverages, jams, sauces, olive oils, and condiments. Additionally, the applicant will offer an online wine club, giving members access to curated selections of the area's best wines. Suite A will be open to the public. SUITE B: Office and Warehouse (Northern Part of the Building with Metal Siding) This space, currently a metal structure, will be transformed into a stucco building with a matching roof. It will house an office for managing the retail and wine club operations, while the warehouse will be used for fulfilling wine club orders. Suite B will not be open to the public. BUILDING MATERIALS AND FEEL: Suite A, the original gas station will retain its rock (cleaned up and repaired). Antique replica gas pumps and signage will be installed as a nod to the original era of the building's construction. The metal roll up doors will be replaced with tasteful garage doors. Suite B, the current metal building will be adjusted to a tasteful stucco material. Both Suite A and B will have the metal roof (facade) that tie the two spaces together (similar to what Hotel Winters has done). The fencing and planter boxes will be created with raw metal and redwood materials. OUTDOOR SPACE: The expansive outdoor area will serve several purposes, including providing one ADA compliant parking spot. It will also be designed to accommodate up to two food trucks (though not at all times), with a rotating food truck schedule aimed at 10

4 enriching the local dining scene and complementing existing downtown restaurant options. Two restrooms will be available for visitors. The southwest corner of the property, near the sign, will feature a cozy seating area with garden beds that offer a buffer from traffic while maintaining visibility for drivers. The outdoor retail section will feature seasonal farm and garden items, while the area near the office and warehouse will be dedicated to those functions. Suitable barriers will be installed to create a safe seating area, protecting guests from potential traffic incidents. A few Valley Oak Trees will be added to the south side of the space. FOOD TRUCKS: There will be two designated spaces for food trucks, available on a rotating schedule during operating hours and for special City events. These trucks will not be present at all times but will be part of a planned schedule aimed at enhancing the community dining experience. The exterior of the building will be landscaped to create comfortable seating areas for visitors. Electrical hook-ups will be provided for both locations, eliminating the need for the food trucks to use generators. Two restrooms and trash will be made available to staff and customers of the food trucks. PROPOSED OPERATING HOURS: •Open year-round •Six days a week •Summer hours: 10:00 AM -8:00 PM •Winter hours: 10:00 AM -6:00 PM *Staff has provided a site plan, aerial map, and renderings of the proposed remodel in the Planning Commission project packet. All attachments are also listed at the end of this staff report* CITY OF WINTERS MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIREMENTS AND FINDINGS: The uses that need to be evaluated for code conformity are the two food trucks, on and off site alcohol sales, and neighborhood commercial local markets within a D-A Zoning District. Since the Project fronts both Railroad Avenue and Abbey Street, the permitted uses specific to “Railroad Avenue” and “Secondary Streets” for the “D-A” District in the Downtown Form Based Code Zoning Matrix (Table 17.58-2 below) are applicable. The Food Trucks will be evaluated first. The Food Trucks are the primary trigger point for the project requiring a Conditional Use Permit. The Downtown Form Based Code Zoning Matrix allows Stationary Food Vendors (which includes Food Trucks) in all Downtown Business Districts on private property by first securing a Conditional Use Permit through the Planning Commission. Table 17.58-2: Permitted Uses The symbols in the table are defined as: P—Permitted Use C—Conditionally Permitted Use N—Not Permitted Uses Main Street Railroad Avenue Secondary Streets Grant Avenue D-A D-B D-A D-B D-A D-B D-A D-B 11

The City of Winters Form Based Code for the D-A Zoning District allows for alcohol sales in conjunction with a restaurant, off site sales in conjunction with retail, and within Neighborhood Commercial local markets which are 8,000 square feet in size or less. Lastly, the Neighborhood Commercial local market component of the project is another justification for staff requiring a Conditional Use Permit. The sale of on and off site alcohol sales of local wines and craft beers will require an Alcohol License from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). ABC will determine the appropriate alcohol license type. The applicant will be required to provide 12

6 the proper documentation from ABC that shows the subject parcel has been approved for the desired type or types of alcohol sale license or licenses required by ABC. In summary, the project requests to combine the three aforementioned uses above. Each use can be clearly identified as a permitted use or use allowed by first securing a Use Permit based on the Downtown Form Based Code. The project is consistent with the City of Winters Municipal and Formed Based Codes and would comply with all applicable City ordinances as they relate to the project if ultimately approved. GENERAL PLAN FINDINGS: The proposed project is consistent with the City of Winters General Plan,1992, as it relates to harmonious design to adjacent buildings with a similar automotive and industrial historical nostalgia. PARKING: The project offers one ADA parking stall and two parking locations for Stationary Food Vendors. Parking for the business shall be provided via city street and city parking lots in the immediate vicinity of the project. No additional onsite parking shall be required unless the proposed use substantially changes. FENCING: The project proposes a 3.5-foot redwood horizontally sided perimeter fence. In consultation with various departments, staff has determined that to preserve line of sight safety at the intersection of Abbey Street and Railroad Avenue, the perimeter fence shall be conditioned to only allow vertical siding and at least 6 inches of space between each fence slat to preserve line of sight safety.
