GATEWAY PARTNERS, INC. / GATEWAY PARTNERS WINE PRODUCTION FACILITY / USE PERMIT MAJOR MODIFICATION #P19-00075-MOD

CEQA Status: Consideration and possible adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. According to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts after implementation of mitigation measures (or MM’s). MM’s are proposed for the following area(s): biological resources. The project site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.

Request: Approval of use permit major modification to allow a winery with 400,000 gallons of annual production and 44 employees within an approximately 80,200 square foot portion of the previously approved 100,306 square foot building. The proposed winery would not include tours and tastings, retail sales, or marketing events. The proposed project requires a use permit request to modify the previously approved use from warehouse and office to add winery use within an approximately 80,200 square foot portion of Building A as depicted on the site plans. The proposed site plan includes the development of 196 parking spaces, of which the winery will have 80 parking spaces allocated for use. The remainder of Building A will remain as office/warehouse use as previously approved. The proposed project is a continuation of the approved development consistent with the 93466-UP and P16-00213-MOD while diversifying the uses and tenants on the project site. The project continues the same basic development concepts associated with manufacturing and office uses but instead of a building that includes manufacturing of ophthalmological products, the proposed project will include the manufacturing of wine. No change is proposed to the building footprint approved by P16-00213-MOD. The project is located on an approximately 13.8-acre site at the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Gateway Drive and is in the Napa Valley Business Park Specific Plan (NVBPSP) and (IP/AC) Industrial Park/Airport Compatibility Combination Zoning District. 501 Gateway Drive, Napa; Assessor’s Parcel Number: 057-220-020

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Major Modification, as conditioned.

RUDD PROPERTIES, LLC / SHEEHY WINERY / USE PERMIT P19-00426-MOD

CEQA Status: Consideration and possible adoption of an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, an addendum to an adopted MND may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or if none of the conditions contained in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a Subsequent Negative Declaration have occurred. According to the previously-adopted MND (2018), the then-proposed speculative light industrial building would have, if mitigation measures were not included, potentially significant environmental impacts in the area of Biological Resources. Adopted mitigation measures, which required pre-construction surveys for nesting bird species, bat species, California red-legged frog, and western pond turtle have not been implemented, as no development has taken place on the site at this time. Analysis of the current modification proposal identified no new or substantially more severe significant impacts relative to the original project analyzed in the prior MND. This project site is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government code section 65962.5.

Request: Approval of a Major Modification to a previously approved use permit (P17-00274-UP), as subsequently modified to allow a wine production facility as follows: (1) Maximum annual wine production up to 98,400 gallon per year within a previously approved 40,085 square foot speculative light industrial building; (2) a decrease in the number of on-site employees from 43 to 10 full-time employees; and (3) approval of a variation to the development standards to construct an attached canopy located over the delivery area. No visitation or marketing is proposed under this request. The project is located on a 2.74 acre site on the east side of Devlin Road, adjoining Sheehy Creek to the north within the Napa Valley Business Park Specific Plan Area. The project site is within the Industrial Park: Airport Compatibility (IP:AC) zoning district and has a General Plan land use designation of Industrial. APN’s: 057-210-037 & 038, Napa.

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Addendum to the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permit with the proposed conditions of approval.
