A well-written article would have, at least, given a synopsis of the regulations that the wineries are against.
Can anyone shed light on the issues here?

This is probably a long ways from actually being cancelled. Isn't it still nine months away?
It sounds like the first volley in a negotiating ploy.

My understanding is that the Ensenada mayor, in a closed door meeting, and possibly with some under-the-table compensation (shocker), voted to allow
residential development in parts of the Valle.
Stay tuned . . .

Fancy resorts will bring more tourists to drink more wine. Isn't that what they want?

The mayor of Ensenada, Enrique Pelayo, said that construction plans had been approved before his term of office and that he is just following that
decision. “I have been one of the biggest promoters of the wine region. I have no personal interest in the construction project, I am just following a
previous decision,” he said to Spanish newspaper El País.

we don't need more wine drinkers..there is not enough production as it is because of the water restrictions. very little of mex wine gets exported.
most of it goes to Mex City. there is not enough water to support 5000 houses and a golf course in the valle de guad. leave it as it is. it's
growing, already too fast, but at its own pace that is hopefully sustainable. really, how many Oxxo's are needed there?

Some developer has visions of a pseudo Napa/Sonoma/Paso real estate killing.
Except, of course, that those regions have GOOD wine.

An excerpt:
The website for the project’s apparent architecture firm, Atelier Urbano, describes a “master-planned country community” that will function as the
“catalyst of unprecedented changes in the Guadalupe Valley.” Drawings show tennis courts and a swimming pool and a series of small cottages as well as
larger structures, but there are no detailed descriptions. A promotional video talks of a project that would include a hotel-spa, timeshares,
commercial areas and a golf course.
The new zoning regulations, which critics said were written to accommodate Lagos’ development, for the first time open the door to multi-unit
dwellings and two-story buildings in agricultural areas. They increase the number of residences allowed on land zoned for agricultural use — from one
home per every 10 acres to four, according to an analysis by the city’s Municipal Institute for Research and Planning.
The usual corruption and idiocy.
At the end of the article it says there are 18 other projects pending.
