BACKGROUND
The matter before the Board involves an appeal filed by Appellant of the Nova Business Park, LLC (Applicant) of decision made by the Planning Commission, to: (1) adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Program (MMRPP); and (2) approve a Tentative Subdivision Map.
The project consists of a request to subdivide six lots totaling approximately 93.2-acres to create 13 new parcels ranging in size from 2.20 to 12.15 acres. The project includes street and infrastructure improvements including two new cul-de-sacs accessed from an existing private roadway off Devlin Road. No specific land uses or buildings are proposed as part of this permit application, however potential building envelopes and parking layouts have been shown for future development of the proposed parcels. The project area is within the Napa Valley Business Park (NVBP) Specific Plan area and will connect to municipal water and sewer services provided by the City of American Canyon and the Napa Sanitation District (NSD), respectively. Annexation to NSD’s boundaries will be required prior to the provision of sewer services.
The project is proposed on six lots located on the west side of Devlin Road, south of Suscol Creek, within the Industrial Park: Airport Compatibility (IP:AC) zoning district. APN’s: 057-020-092; -093; -094 and 057-170 024 (SFAP); -025 (SFAP); -027.
On January 5, 2024, a timely Notice of Intent to Appeal was filed by the Appellant, and on January 22, 2024, the Appellant submitted a timely Appeal Packet.
Pursuant to the County's appeals ordinance (Napa County Code Chapter 2.88), a public hearing on the appeal was opened on March 26th and continued to April 9th to allow the parties the opportunity to resolve the appeal. Appellant and the Applicant have reached a settlement but staff needs time to revise the conditions of approval for adoption by the Board.
