POLICY RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, RESCINDING POLICY
RESOLUTION NO. 21 AND ESTABLISHING POLICY FOR CITY
PARTICIPATION IN STREET FRONTAGE MOVEMENTS
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City of Napa to encourage the installation of
curb, gutter and sidewalk on City streets where these improvements do not exist; and
WHEREAS, the City requires the installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk and
pavement widening on subdivision, use permits, building permits and similar applications, as a
condition of approval of the application; and
WHEREAS, there are certain public streets within the City Limits where the street
right-of-way is not of adequate width and/or the curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements do not
exist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Napa as follows:
Section 1. That Policy Resolution No. 21 adopted April 17, 1961 is hereby
rescinded.
Section 2. The street improvements required to be installed shall be reasonably
related to the construction and/or modifications being done on the property.
Section 3. In situations where it appears unlikely that a use permit or similar
application will be requested and the property owner is interested in improving the street
frontage of their property, the following policy shall apply:
a. If no additional street right-of-way is needed, the property owner is
required to install the curb, gutter, sidewalk and street paving at their own
cost. If funds are available and budgeted, the City may participate in the
street paving costs on a limited basis.
b. If additional street right-of-way is needed and the property owner is
willing to dedicate the right-of-way for public street purposes, the City
will participate in the curb, gutter, sidewalk and/or street paving subject
to funds being available and budgeted. The amount of City participation
in the cost of the street frontage improvements shall be determined based
on the estimated value of the land being dedicated by the property owner.

Section 4. Installation of sidewalks are encouraged and normally required to be
installed except in some hillside areas. Sidewalks are particularly important on major and
collector streets and on routes to school, for pedestrian safety.
Section 5. Installation of curb and gutter is required to be installed on all streets
to control the surface drainage and to reduce street maintenance costs. Curb and gutter provides
a confined area for the street structural section and reduces the deterioration along the edge of
the pavement.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was duly and regularly
adopted by the City Council of the City of Napa at a regular meeting held on the 21st day of
July, 1987, by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Wagenknecht, Shenk, Corsello, Huber and Pelusi
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
