CEQA Status:
  A Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared.  Prior to adopting a resolution amending the County's General Plan and adopting an ordinance regarding the Napa Pipe Project, the Board of Supervisors is required to review and consider the Final EIR and to certify that the Final EIR has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and local procedures for implementing CEQA and that the Final EIR reflects the County's independent judgement and analysis.

Staff Recommendation:  Conduct a public hearing and adopt resolutions (1) recommending that the Board of Supervisors certify the Final EIR; (2) recommending that the Board of Supervisors (a) make findings pursuant to CEQA, including adoption of overriding considerations and a mitigation monitoring program, (b) adopt a water supply assessment, and (c) adopt a General Plan Amendment affecting 63 acres of the Napa Pipe site (Assessor's Parcel Number 046-412-005); and (3) recommending that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance rezoning the 63 acre parcel to a Napa Pipe-specific district, adding a new chapter to the zoning code pertaining to development in that district, and specifying conditions of approval for future development in that district.

Staff Contact:  Hillary Gitelman, Director of Conservation, Development & Planning at 253-4805 hillary.gitelman@countyofnapa.org or Sean Trippi, Principal Planner at 299-1353 sean.trippi@countyofnapa.org.
