Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Transportation. The project

Request: Approval of two Use Permit applications to allow the  
construction of two separate buildings: Building A - a 450,000 gallon per  
year wine production and storage facility within a proposed 143,312 sf  
building (P22-00307-UP) and Building B - a speculative warehouse/office  
uses within a proposed 66,915 sf building (P22-00308-UP).  
The Building A project proposes winery uses that will include grape  
crushing, bulk wine processing and storage, stainless steel tank and barrel  
storage, bottling, and office space. In addition, approximately 13,000  
square feet of covered work outdoor area will be located on the north side  
of the building. The proposal also includes 129 parking spaces and eight

driveways; one (1) on Technology and two (2) on Morris Court. Tours,  
tastings, and marketing events are not proposed with this application. The

Specific Plan to reduce the required 40-foot average building setback  
along the south property line to approximately 31-feet.  
The Building B project proposes to allow warehouse and office uses  
within the proposed 66,915 sf building. The proposal also includes 82  
parking spaces. Access will be provided via two (2) new access driveways

Both buildings will be provided with water service from the City of  
American Canyon. Napa Sanitation District (NSD) will provide sewer.
