§ 17.142.010. Intent.  


Latest version.
  • The Wine Country Zones are established to implement the Temecula Valley Wine Country Policy Area of the Riverside County General Plan within the area shown on Figure 4a attached hereto. The purpose of these zones is to encourage agricultural cultivation, vineyards, wineries, equestrian uses, preserve the wine-making atmosphere, estate living, equestrian life-style, and protect this area and its residents from incompatible uses which could result in reduced agricultural productivity and increased urbanization within the policy area. Incidental commercial uses, such as winery operations and equestrian establishments shall be authorized only when they are secondary, and directly related, to the agricultural or equestrian operations. The intent of allowing the incidental commercial uses is to provide economic viability to the principal agricultural or equestrian operations.
