EAGLE VINES WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS AT&T/SPRINT PROJECTS / NAPA SANITATION DISTRICT / USE PERMITS 18-00410-UP & 19-00337-UP

CEQA Status: Consideration and possible adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. According to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would have potentially significant effects on Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, and Tribal Cultural Resources, unless mitigation measures are adopted. This project site is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.

Request: The project consists of a request to construct co-located wireless telecommunications facilities for AT&T and Sprint on a portion of the Eagle Vines Golf Club (EVGC) site. The proposed AT&T facility would include: (1) construction of a 50-foot tall steel monopine tower with ‘faux pine’ foliage; (2) installation of 12 panel antennas; (3) installation of 15 Radio Remote Heads (RRHs); (4) a 20-foot by 15-foot lease area and fenced equipment enclosure including ground mounted equipment cabinet(s), a 24-hour emergency power backup generator, and other equipment necessary for the daily operation of the facility; and (5) extension of underground power to the facility from an existing on-site pull box. The proposed Sprint facility would include: (1) construction of a 55-foot tall steel monopine tower with ‘faux pine’ foliage; (2) installation of six (6) panel antennas; (3) installation of 12 Radio Remote Heads (RRHs); (4) a 20-foot by 15-foot lease area and fenced equipment enclosure including ground mounted equipment cabinet(s), a 24-hour emergency power backup generator, and other equipment necessary for the daily operation of the facility; and (5) extension of underground power to the facility from an existing on-site pull box. Although both carriers will utilize different lease areas for the telecommunications equipment and monopine antenna towers, the proposed project is considered co-located based on the general clustering of the proposed infrastructure. The monopine towers will be located approximately 160 feet apart along the northwest corner of the outside fence of the existing golf course driving range and the two equipment enclosures areas are approximately 55 feet apart. Access to the site is from an existing maintenance road off the main parking area of the Eagle Vine Golf Club. The project is located at 580 South Kelly Road, approximately ¼ mile south of its intersection with Highway 12, within the Agriculture Watershed: Airport Compatibility (AW:AC) zoning district and a General Plan designation of Industrial. APN: 057-060-007; American Canyon.

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permits with the proposed conditions of approval.

CHAPPELLET WINERY, INC / CHAPPELLET WINERY / USE PERMIT MAJOR MODIFICATION # P18-00307 AND EXCEPTION TO THE NAPA COUNTY ROAD AND STREET STANDARDS

CEQA Status:
Consideration and possible adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. According to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts after implementation of mitigation measures. Mitigation measures are proposed for the following areas: Biological Resources, Geology and Soils, and Transportation. This project is not on any lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.

Request: Approval of a Use Permit Major Modification to an existing 150,000 gallon per year winery to allow the following: (1) Increase in maximum annual permitted wine production from 150,000 to 250,000 gallons; (2) Increase daily tours and tastings from 40 persons per day (no appointment required), 280 person per week maximum to 95 persons per day (appointment required for the additional 55 persons per day), 665 visitors maximum per week; (3) Modification of an existing Marketing Program to increase events from 54 events per year (2,470 guests) to 76 events per year (4,230 guests) as follows: (a) Ten (10) annual events for up to 20 guests; (b) Six (6) annual events for up to 80 guests; (c) Three (3) annual events for up to 160 guests; (d) Three (3) annual events for up to 200 guests; and (e) Use of shuttle service from an off-site pick up area for all events of greater than 100 persons; (4) Increase parking spaces from 26 spaces to 38 spaces and provide a minimum of two on-site bicycle parking spaces; (5) Increase the number of employees from 24 to 30; (6) Upgrade the existing water system permit from a Transient Non Community (TNC) water system to a Non-Transient Non-Community (NTNC) water system; and (7) Improvement of the existing access driveway and Pritchard Hill Road to County standards except for the request noted below.

The project also includes a request for an exception to the Napa County Road and Street Standards (RSS). The request proposes an exception to the Napa County RSS to allow for a reduction of driveway width for some portions of the existing driveway, and for a portion of road with slopes exceeding 18 percent but less than 20 percent without transition zones (sections of road not exceeding 10 percent for 100 feet in length immediately preceding and ensuing the section of road with the roadway grade of 18 to 20 percent). An exception was requested by the applicant and tentatively approved by the Public Works Department to allow the Chappellet Winery Use Permit Modification to be approved without the requirement that a left turn lane be installed at the intersection of the property driveway and Sage Canyon Road. The project is located on a 15.01 acre site within the AW (Agricultural Watershed) zoning district and has an AWOS (Agriculture, Watershed, and Open Space) General Plan land use designation at 1579 and 1581 Sage Canyon Road, St. Helena, CA; APN: 032-010-090; and 098, respectively.

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Exception to the Napa County Roads & Street Standards and Use Permit Major Modification, as conditioned.
