Consideration and possible action regarding an appeal filed by Farella Braun and Martel on behalf of their client, Tom Gamble, of a decision by the Zoning Administrator (ZA) on November 23, 2005 to approve a minor use permit modification (P05-0301-MODMINOR) for the Villa Berryessa subdivision. The modification would permit stick-built units or modular units, adjust the approved lot configuration, adjust the overall layout and street alignment, decrease the amount of grading work, and relocate the water intake system to comply with the applicable conditions and mitigation measures as approved by the Napa County Board of Supervisors in 1997.  Additionally, some conditions of approval require minor changes in the timing of implementation. The Zoning Administrator also made advisory recommendations regarding minor and non-substantive changes to the conditions of the related Tentative Map (95071-SUB) for consideration by the Board at the time the final map comes before them for action. The project is located on a ±141.84 acre parcel, on the north side of Pope Canyon Road approximately 1500 feet west of its intersection with Berryessa-Knoxville Road within a PD (Planned Development) zoning district and an area designated UR (Urban Residential) by the Napa County General Plan (Assessor’s Parcel Number #019-080-003), Napa, CA.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Addendum to a Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration to Environmental Impact Report - FEIR-038 prepared (State CEQA guidelines 15164 for minor changes to the project as approved by the Villa Berryessa Use Permit (95070-UP) and Tentative Map (95071-SUB)).  (The proposed use permit modification does not constitute a substantial change to the project that would require major revisions to the prior environmental document due to the involvement of new significant environmental impacts.  Also no substantial changes in circumstances under which the project would be undertaken and no new information of substantial importance necessitates additional review.  An explanation of the decision not to prepare an additional environmental document is contained in the Addendum pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.)
