Ericson House Permit, viewshed and road exemption
One wonders why there is a viewshed ordinance, conservation regulations or road and street standards when their purpose can be exempted away by staff in even the most egregious situations

Yet another expansion of one of the tackiest tourist attractions in the valley.

General Plan Safety Element Update
The Planning Commission will review the Final Environmental Impact Report on a proposed amendment to the Napa General Plan Safety Element before it is sent to the BOS for approval.

Agenda and Documents

Erickson Reidence
[continued from PC meeting 2/1/23]
Con Reg exceptions, R&SS exceptions, biological mitigations, viewshed mitigations for major road construction to new house locations.
The road is a 1.5-mile marvel of cut, fill, exceptions and 20% grades to get to the tippy top of the ridge. (and will probably be more expensive than the cost of the homes it leads to.)

Inglenook Residence
R&SS exceptions for road improvement to access new home location

Board of Supervisors


Agenda and Documents

Inn at the Abbey scoping session
The Board will assess a proposal for a winery hotel in the Ag Preserve. If the project is realized it will be one more precedent on the road to a true Las Vegas of Wine where entertainment revenues totally eclipse the need to produce or sell wine.

[Supes voted to have staff come back at beginning of year for another scoping session based on their comments. As with Oak Knoll, Supes saw the need to produce actual affordable housing commensurate with the number of added employees as part of the project rather than just affordable housing fees.]
