Director of Conservation, Development and Planning requests adoption of a resolution approving the Montalcino at Napa Golf Course project including the following actions:  

First and final reading and adoption of an ordinance requested as part of the proposed Montalcino at Napa Golf Course project which rezones certain unincorporated property within the county from Agricultural Watershed:Airport Compatibility (AW:AC) to Public Lands:Airport Compatibility (PL:AC) zoning district (Assessor's Parcel Nos. 057-010-037 and 057-010-036) and amends Section 18.50.030 of the Napa County Code relating to certain uses including limited recreational uses, permitted upon grant of use permit in the Public Lands District.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Pursuant to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for Certification. The Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) finds the proposed project will result in new potential impacts in the following areas: Agricultural Resources, Hydrology, Biological Resources, and Cultural Resources. No substantial changes requiring major revision of the previously certified Montalcino at Napa Resort EIR will occur in the following areas: Land Use and Planning, Traffic and Circulation, Air Quality, Noise, Aesthetics, Community Services, Geology, and Population and Housing. The project site is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites, but it is adjacent to a hazardous waste site enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.

Consideration and possible action on an appeal filed by Mr. Dirk Fulton to a partial denial by the Director of Public Works of a road improvement modification requested by the appellant in connection with the application for Use Permit # 04065-UP for a property located at 263 Petrified Forest Road, Calistoga. (Assessor's Parcel No. 020-430-006)
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:  The appeal of the Director’s determination on the road modification is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Section 15378.  Section 15378(c) sets forth that the term “project” refers to an activity which is being approved, and does not mean each separate governmental approval.  In this case, the Board’s determination on the road modification merely establishes how existing regulations are being interpreted, and will not result, either directly or indirectly, in a physical change in the environment.  This code interpretation is necessary to establish the scope of the “project” that will then be subject to CEQA evaluation.
(CONTINUED FROM NOVEMBER 22, 2005 AND JANUARY 10, 2006; APPELLANT REQUESTS CONTINUANCE TO MARCH 14, 2006 AT 10:15 A.M.)
