A small, but vocal minority holds the opinion that Yountville is better served by limiting the number of tasting rooms. The proponents of this moratorium are forgetting that Yountville receives more than half of its revenue from its transient visitors through the TOT and through sales tax from retailers aimed primarily toward visitors. Because of this, Yountville has fared far better than most cities during the worst recession in recent memory. These funds have gone directly back into the community in the form of a Community Center, funding emergency and law enforcement services, parks and recreation services, and projects to maintain and improve the aesthetic of the Town. Yountville would be far better served by encouraging local businesses that support tourism.

I hope that you will not approve a moratorium on Tasting rooms in Town and keep the current conditions of Conditional use permits on a case by case basis. The current zoning laws allow you to say NO to an applicant based on the applicants proposed use for a property. As a citizen of Yountville, I feel that all of the new and proposed uses in the Town only make the Town stronger, more beautiful and add to the Town's tourism Tax dollars that the Town rely so heavily on.
