Council approves concept for 40 villa-style lodging units near Danzinger Vineyards
Summary
The Alma Common Council approved in concept a plan from Danzinger Vineyards to build 40 small villa-style units (about 240 sq ft each) to host overnight guests linked to winery events; a Conditional Use Permit and Planning Commission public hearing are required next.
The Alma Common Council on Dec. 18 voted to approve the concept of a 40-unit lodging development proposed by Paul Eppen, owner of Danzinger Vineyards. The units described in the proposal are small villa-style structures of about 240 square feet each intended to provide overnight accommodations for wedding and event guests at the winery.
The motion to approve the lodging concept passed unanimously. Council members noted that formal land-use approvals remain required: a Conditional Use Permit application, a Planning Commission public hearing, and a subsequent council action. Paul Eppen presented the concept to the council during the meeting; no construction timeline or financing details were provided in the minutes.
If the applicant proceeds, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing that will provide neighbors and other stakeholders a formal opportunity to comment before the council considers final approval.
