Monterey supervisors approve winery rules, revisit venue limits

The Monterey County Board of Supervisors approved winery rules and directed county staff to revisit limits on the size of winery venues.

The decision

The supervisors’ action establishes approval of the winery rules while also sending the venue-size question back for additional staff review. The two parts of the action address the rules themselves and the limits on how large winery venues may be.

Venue-size limits

The supervisors asked staff to take another look at the venue-size limits. That means the limits remain an issue for further county review rather than being settled by a new limit in the action described here.

What comes next

County staff will handle the requested review. Any later change to the venue-size limits would require additional county action; the timing and details of that process have not been announced.
