Shute, Mihaly, Weinberger spreadsheet of 2016-2019 winery approvals

This Memo for the 5/Nov/15 PC meeting gives the most complete list of approvals since 2006 and projects under review through 2015, as well as other information

New wineries approved and in review since 2010

---

This map shows the production capacity of new wineries and winery expansions approved, but probably not yet built, in the last 4 years in Napa County. The orange circles are approved projects. The red circles are projects still under review by the planning department.
Legend: review, hearing, approved

Re-center

The figures below represent numbers initially proposed in the applications; it is difficult to find the numbers actually approved and I welcome correction where the two differ. The visitor numbers are approximate since they are difficult to tease out of the agenda requests. I try to err or approximate on the low side using, for example 300 days per year or 50 weeks per year to compute daily or weekly totals. I also try to keep the lists current but there's only so much time.

Clicking on the date will bring up citizen portal or PC agendas for the projects. Clicking on the name will show google map location.

The Save Yountville Hill group produced a similar (and perhaps more accurate) table for their appeal here

Under Director Morrison the county planning department has really upped their data accessibility in the last two years: County's projects-under-review page and now County's Current Projects Dashboard
