CEQA Status: Consideration and possible adoption of a Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Categorical Exemption Class 1 Existing Facilities), which exempts repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use, and Section 15302 (Categorical Exemption Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction), which exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities on the same site and with the same purpose. The project site is not located on any of the lists of hazardous material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.

Request: Approval of a request for an exception to the Napa County Conservation Regulations (County Code Chapter 18.108), in the form of a Use Permit, in order to allow the reconstruction and relocation of a private driveway to encroach into the minimum required 55- to 65-foot stream setback from the top of bank of Browns Valley Creek, a blue-line and County definitional stream (as defined in County Code Section 18.108.030). The driveway that provided access from McCormick Lane to the existing residence located at 1100 McCormick Lane (Assessor’s Parcel No. 050-270-009) was damaged by a landslide in February, 2017 and made unusable. A portion of the driveway is within an existing roadway easement located on APN 050-270-027. The approvals requested with the project include a request for approval of an exception to Napa County Road and Street Standards (RSS) to allow for a non-standard longitudinal slope and a horizontal inside radius of curvature of less than 50 feet. The 14.95-acre parcel on which the project is proposed is adjacent to the City of Napa, has a General Plan land use designation of Agriculture, Watershed and Open Space (AWOS), and is located in the AW (Agricultural Watershed) zoning district. The project is located at 1100 McCormick Lane (Assessor's Parcel No. 050-270-009).

Staff Recommendation: Find the project categorically exempt from CEQA and approve the Use Permit Exception request, as conditioned.
