BACKGROUND
On August 15, 2018, the County of Napa entered into an agreement with LAK Associates LLC for professional planning services and environmental analysis related to the processing of use permit applications. Under the original agreement, the maximum compensation was set at $65,000 per fiscal year. In March of 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to extend the term of the original agreement to accommodate ongoing and future planning and environmental review work.
LAK Associates has been working on the use permit applications for E&P Technology, Building A&B, located within the South County Business Park (use permit applications P22-00307 and P22-00308). The project was presented to the Napa County Planning Commission in November 2024; however, the item was continued to a date uncertain due to the receipt of comments raising concerns about the biological resources and transportation sections of the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
County staff initially anticipated bringing the project back before the Planning Commission in Spring 2025, well before the expiration of the agreement with LAK Associates on June 30, 2025. However, due to the complexity of addressing the feedback and expanding the environmental analysis, the project has not yet been rescheduled for a hearing.
