Consideration and possible action regarding an appeal filed by V. Sattui Winery, Inc-Suzanne Vineyards, of a decision by the Zoning Administrator (ZA) on August 10, 2005, to deny the applicant's request for a Certificate to the Extent of Legal Conformity (CLN) P05-0185-CLN recognizing weddings and weddings receptions. The project is located on a 21.66 acre parcel on the east side of St. Helena Highway at its intersection with White Lane within an AP (Agricultural Preserve) / AW (Agricultural Watershed) split zoning district and an area designated Agriculture, Watershed & Open Space (AWOS) by the Napa County General Plan (Assessor's Parcel No. 030-260-035; 1111 White Lane, St. Helena).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.  State CEQA Guidelines Section 15270 provides: (a) CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves; and (b) This section is intended to allow an initial screening of projects on the merits for quick disapprovals prior to the initialization of the CEQA process where the agency can determine that the project cannot be approved. A recommendation of denial is not subject to CEQA review.  Should the Board uphold the appeal the project would be deemed Categorical Exempt Class 1 (Section 15301 State CEQA Guidelines and Napa County CEQA Guidelines, Appendix B.1) as the weddings would be deemed existing activities or operations.
