Prepared By: Jessie Sauter, Finance Analyst
TITLE:
Lake Park and River Park Estates Maintenance Districts Assessment Rates
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Lake Park and River Park Maintenance Districts' assessment rates
for Fiscal Year 2017/18.
DISCUSSION:
Attached are the FY 2017/18 rates for the assessments for the Lake Park and River Park Estates
Maintenance Districts. An adopted resolution is required annually by the County of Napa Auditor-
Controller's Office for inclusion of the assessments on the property tax bills. No change is proposed
to the previously approved rate of assessment.
The Lake Park Maintenance District was formed in 1966 by City Council Resolution No. 4070. An
assessment is levied annually on property within the assessment district boundaries to fund
operation and maintenance costs of the flood control levees, greenbelt areas, park area serving as a
detention basin and flood pumping station. For FY 2017/18, the assessments will generate
approximately $100,000 in revenue which is deposited to the Lake Park Maintenance District Special
Revenue Fund.
The River Park Estates Maintenance District was formed in 1961 by City Council Resolution No.
2271. An assessment is levied annually on property within the assessment district boundaries to fund
operation and maintenance costs of the levees and banks within the boundaries of the maintenance
district. For FY 2017/18, the assessments will generate approximately $260,000 in revenue which is
deposited to the River Park Estates Maintenance Special Revenue Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The revenues derived from the assessments have been budgeted as part of the City’s biannual
budget process. The proposed budgets for Lake Park and River Park Assessment Districts for FY
2017/18 are $100,000 and $260,000, respectively.
CEQA:
The City Manager has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report is

The table below provides the budget status for the City’s funds, grouped by major fund, or major
fund category, as of the date identified above and includes several Net Positions of less than zero.
Budgets with a negative Net Position will use fund balance to make up the difference. This use of
available fund balance to balance the budget has been approved by City Council with the adoption
of the FY 2016/17 budget. Negative Year-to-Date (YTD) Actual amounts are to be expected, given

TITLE:
Statement of Investment Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution updating the City’s Statement of Investment Policy and delegating authority to the
City Treasurer to invest funds in accordance with the Statement of Investment Policy.
DISCUSSION:
Consistent with California Government Code Section 53646(a)(2), the Treasurer annually renders to
the City Council a Statement of Investment Policy for consideration and approval. Further, consistent
with Government Code Section 53607, the City Council annually delegates authority to the City
Treasurer to make investments on behalf of the City. Pursuant to Council action on June 6, 2017,
the City Council appointed Finance Director Brian Cochran to serve as the City Treasurer, which
includes the responsibility to make investments on behalf of the City.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)section has a proposed change to update LAIF
Limitations from $65,000,000 per account to the “maximum amount permitted by LAIF’s Local
Investment Advisory Board”. This change enables the City to follow LAIF’s guidelines without
updating the investment policy.
The Additional Guidelines section has a proposed change to remove the following:
·Adequate liquidity equivalent to six month expenditures shall be maintained.
·No more than 50% of the overall City portfolio shall mature beyond 2 years.
A redline copy of the proposed Statement of Investment Policy is provided as Attachment 2 for
convenience to identify all proposed revisions to the policy. A clean copy of the proposed policy is
provided as Exhibit A to the resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There is no fiscal impact.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
June 2017
R2017-__Page 1 of 11
1. Policy
It is the policy of the City of Napa (“City”) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide
maximum security, meet the daily cash flow demands of the City, and provide highest investment
return while conforming to all California laws and local statutes governing the investment of public
funds.
2. Scope
This investment policy applies to all the funds and investment activities under the direct authority
of the City. This investment policy has been separately approved by the respective governing
bodies of the Housing Authority of the City of Napa (“HACN”) and the Successor Agency to the
Napa Community Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”); thus, references in this policy
to the “City” shall apply equivalently to HACN and the Successor Agency. There are four
categories of funds that are separately invested in accordance with specialized requirements for
administration and reserve requirements, which supersede conflicting requirements of this policy,
including: employees' retirement funds (governed by CalPERS), pension stabilization trust funds
(governed by separate investment guidelines adopted by City Council), CERBT trust funds
(Governed by CalPERS), and certain debt issues which are invested by trustees appointed under
indenture agreements. Funds are accounted for in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) and include the following:
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds
Debt Service Funds
Enterprise Funds
Internal Service Funds
Trust and Agency Funds
3. Prudence
All persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and
therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard: 'When investing, reinvesting,
purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with
care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not
limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct
of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity
needs of the agency.
4. Objective
The primary objectives in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:
4.1 Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure that capital losses
are avoided, whether from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value.
To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio. The City may
elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the
Page 33 of 477
Exhibit A
CITY OF NAPA
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
June 2017
R2017-__Page 2 of 11
quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City's risk
preferences.
4.2 Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the
City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
4.3 Return on Investment: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking
into account the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the
portfolio.
5. Delegation of Authority
Pursuant to the City of Napa Municipal Code Section 2.32.030(g), the Finance Director/Treasurer
is delegated investment authority and is responsible for investment decisions and activities.
Section 53607 of the California Government Code requires that delegation of authority is only
valid for a one-year period or until the delegation of the authority is revoked or expires. Authority
must be renewed each year. The Finance Director/Treasurer shall establish written procedures
for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures
should include reference to: Safekeeping, master repurchase agreement, wire transfer
agreement, collateral/depository agreement and banking service contract. Such procedures shall
include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No City
personnel may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this
policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director/Treasurer. He or she shall be
responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate
the activities of subordinate officials. The City may engage the services of one or more external
professional money managers to assist in the management of the City's investment portfolio in a
manner consistent with the City's objectives. Such external managers may be granted discretion
to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy. Such
managers must be registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair
their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall
disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct
business within the jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal
financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s portfolio.
Employees and officers shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the
City's, particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales.
7. Authorized Money Managers. Financial Dealers and Institutions
The City may contract with professional money managers to assist in the management of all or
part of its investment portfolio in compliance with the investment guidelines detailed in the
Allowable Investment and Additional Investment Guidelines of this policy (Reference pages 5-
11).
If the Finance Director/City Treasurer directly invests in individual securities, then the City will
maintain a list of financial institutions and primary dealers authorized to provide investment
Page 34 of 477
Exhibit A
CITY OF NAPA
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
June 2017
R2017-__Page 3 of 11
services. Professional money managers working with the City may maintain their own list.
"Primary" dealers include those that regularly report to the Federal Reserve Bank and should
qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
All financial institutions, dealers and cash managers who desire to become qualified bidders for
investment transactions must supply the City with the following: audited financial statements,
proof of National Association of Security Dealers certification when applicable, trading resolution,
proof of State of California registration when applicable, completed questionnaire and certification
of having read the City of Napa's investment policy and depository contracts.
A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution and
dealer.
8. Authorized Investments

investments of the City are detailed in the Allowable Investment and Additional Investment
Guidelines of this policy (Reference pages 5-11).

Investment Guidelines of this policy (Reference pages 5-11). Collateral will always be held by
an independent third party with whom the City has a current custodial agreement. A clearly
marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the city and retained.
The right of collateral substitution may be granted.
10. Safekeeping and Custody
All securities owned by the City, shall be held in safekeeping by the City's custodian bank or a
third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody or
trustee agreement executed by the bank and by the City. All securities will be received and
delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment (DVP) procedures.
11. Diversification
The City will diversify its investments by security type and institution as detailed in the Allowable
Investment and Additional Investment Guidelines of this policy (Reference pages 5-11).
12. Maximum Maturities
Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more
than 5 years from the date of purchase (See exception indicated in the Allowable Investment and
Additional Investment Guidelines of this policy (Reference pages 5-11).
13. Internal Control
The Finance Director/Treasurer shall establish a system of written internal controls which shall
be reviewed by an independent auditor. This review will provide internal control by assuring
compliance with policies and procedures. The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of
public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated
changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City. Controls
deemed most important include: control of collusion, separation of duties, separation of
transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping, clear delegation of authority, specific
limitations regarding securities losses and remedial action, written confirmation of telephone

transactions, minimizing the number of authorized investment officials, documentation of

budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and cash flow
needs. The specific investment performance objective for the portfolio shall be to earn a total rate
of return over a market cycle which is approximately equal to a market benchmark index. The
current benchmark index for the portfolio is the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasuries/ Agencies 1-5 Year
Index.

Program (TLGP). Eligible banking institutions participating in the TLGP Program were able to
issue debt guaranteed by the FDIC through 10/31/09. The Program covers commercial paper

are greater than 30 days maturity, but maturing on or before 12/31/2012.

bonds payable solely out of revenues from a revenue producing property owned, controlled or
operated by the state or any local agency, or by a department, board, agency or authority of the

property owned, controlled, or operated by a state, or by a department, board, agency, or
authority of any of these states.

It is the policy of the City of Napa (“City”) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide
maximum security, meet the daily cash flow demands of the City, and provide highest
investment return while conforming to all California laws and local statutes governing the
investment of public funds.
2. Scope
This investment policy applies to all the funds and investment activities under the direct authority
of the City. This investment policy has been separately approved by the respective governing
bodies of the Housing Authority of the City of Napa (“HACN”) and the Successor Agency to the
Napa Community Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”); thus, references in this policy
to the “City” shall apply equivalently to HACN and the Successor Agency. There are four
categories of funds that are separately invested in accordance with specialized requirements
for administration and reserve requirements, which supersede conflicting requirements of this
policy, including: employees' retirement funds (governed by CalPERS), pension stabilization
trust funds (governed by separate investment guidelines adopted by City Council), CERBT trust
funds (Governed by CalPERS), and certain debt issues which are invested by trustees
appointed under indenture agreements. Funds are accounted for in the City's Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include the following:
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Project Funds
Debt Service Funds
Enterprise Funds
Internal Service Funds

care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not
limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the
conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain
the liquidity needs of the agency.
4. Objective
The primary objectives in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:
4.1 Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure that capital losses
are avoided, whether from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value.
To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio. The City
may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to

City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

with this Investment Policy. Such managers must be registered under the Investment Advisors
Act of 1940.

TITLE:
Healthcare Insurance Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with healthcare providers for
healthcare insurance services.
DISCUSSION:
The City offers healthcare benefits to eligible City employees (including dependents and retirees), as
approved by City Council through negotiated memoranda of understandings (“MOUs”) with
represented employees, and through resolutions providing benefits to unrepresented employees. The
MOUs and resolutions document the level of benefits offered, and the maximum monthly premium
that will be paid by the City, and the portion of the cost (if any) which is required to be paid by the
employee. The City’s bi-annual budget includes the City’s costs of funding these healthcare benefits
at the levels approved by the City Council.
The City implements the healthcare benefits provided to City employees through agreements with
private healthcare providers. The City’s current healthcare providers include Kaiser Permanente,
Western Health Advantage, and Delta Dental of California. Healthcare rates are set annually. Each
year, several months in advance of the effective date, the City receives notification of healthcare
rates for the coming twelve-month period. The City is required to execute amendments with each
provider reflecting the revised monthly healthcare premiums.
As new agreements and amendments, between the City and the healthcare providers, are being
proposed for the new fiscal year, the purpose of this item is to clarify the scope of the delegation of
authority to the City Manager to execute agreements and amendments with healthcare providers, in
substantial conformance with the terms of the attached agreements with Kaiser Permanente,
Western Health Advantage, and Delta Dental of California (which includes Delta Dental Premier, and
Delta Care services).
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The City’s cost for employee and retiree healthcare coverage is included in the approved Operating
Budget. Delegation of authority to the City Manager to approve agreements and amendments with

TITLE:
Paramedic Tax Rate
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Paramedic tax rate for Fiscal Year 2017/18.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is the FY 2017/18 rate for the Paramedic Tax. An adopted resolution is required annually by
the County of Napa Auditor- Controller's Office for inclusion on the property tax bills. No change is
proposed to the current tax rate.
Section 95.1 of the Napa City Charter, as amended on January 25, 1977, authorizes an annual tax
levy of six cents on each $100 of assessed valuation for the purpose of providing emergency medical
technician (paramedic) services throughout the City. However, following voter approval of Proposition
13 and implementing State legislation, the City's authority to impose the paramedic tax was capped
at the amount imposed in the 1982/83 fiscal year. The City has consistently imposed the paramedic
tax from fiscal years 1982/83 through 2016/17 at 1.5 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation. At
the 1.5 cent rate, the Paramedic Tax is projected to generate $1.7 million in revenue to the General
Fund during FY 2017/18.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The revenues derived from this tax have been included in the Fiscal Year 2017/18 proposed budget,
in the amount of $1.7 million.
CEQA:
The City Manager has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report is
not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c).

TITLE:
Summary Abandonment and Quit Claim of Portions of Gasser Drive
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing summary abandonment and quit claim of portions of unimproved
Gasser Drive, between Tulocay Creek and Soscol Avenue, and determining that the actions
authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Napa has received a request to abandon and quit claim portions of unimproved Gasser
Drive extending between Soscol Avenue and Tulocay Creek (“Subject Easement”), from the Gasser
Foundation, owner of the properties on both sides of unimproved Gasser Drive (APNs 046-190-052,
046-190-053, 046-190-054 and 046-190-024). The location of the right-of-way proposed to be
abandoned is depicted on Attachment 2.
The right-of-way for the future extension of Gasser Drive was offered for dedication by the Gasser
Foundation to the City of Napa in 1995 by that certain Offer of Dedication, recorded July 25, 1995 as
Instrument No. 1995-015853, Napa County Official Records, and the City accepted the Offer of
Dedication by that certain Certificate of Acceptance recorded March 11, 1996 as Instrument No. 1996
-005917, Napa County Official Records.
Pursuant to its Master Plan, the Gasser Foundation is developing its property surrounding the
Subject Easement, including the sale of a portion for development of an affordable housing project.
As development plans for the surrounding properties have been advanced, it has been determined
that the entire dedicated width of future Gasser Drive is not necessary to support the development
proposed. The request, therefore, is to abandon and quit claim to the Gasser Foundation strips
along the outside edges of the Gasser Drive right-of-way to narrow the right-of-way for the future
extension of Gasser Drive.
Abandonment of the Subject Easement qualifies for a summary abandonment under Section 8333(a)
of the California Streets and Highways Code because the Subject Easement has not been used for
the purpose for which it was dedicated for five consecutive years immediately preceding the

proposed abandonment. Under the summary abandonment process, a public hearing is not
required.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There is no financial impact to the City of Napa anticipated as a result of the proposed action.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Recommended Action is exempt from
CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (minor alteration of existing facilities).

The Solid Waste & Materials Diversion Fund recently secured bond funds to construct a variety of
necessary improvements at the MDF including covered compost facilities, stormwater management
improvements, roof/building structures to cover operations and other site improvements.
The specific improvements included in the Design-Build Agreement requested for authorization in this
staff report, are as follows:
·Metal Canopy Roof Structure - 40’x120’x26’ low eave height
·Metal Canopy Roof Structure - 75’x102’x26’ low eave height
·Metal Canopy Roof Structure - 75’x102’x26’ low eave height
·Metal Canopy Roof Structure - 50’x72’x 20’ low eave height
·Metal Canopy Roof Structure - 25’x200’x26’ low eave height
·Concrete Slab - 40’x300’x8”
The metal canopy roof structures will be install adjacent to the Materials Sorting Facility and will
provide cover for processing and storage of source separated recyclables. The concrete slab will tie

into the existing slab in the south-east corner of the facility and provide appropriate space for storage
of recyclables. These improvements are necessary to comply with stormwater regulations and
enhance operations within the area available to process and store recyclables.
On April 26, 2017, the City posted an advertisement soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from
Design-Build Contractors and on June 2, 2017, received two proposals. Staff conducted a review of
each proposal to determine the best overall value to the City based on criteria detailed in the RFP
(see Attachment 1). Both firms who submitted had the demonstrated and relevant experience to
meet the expectations outlined in the City’s RFP; however, Ledcor Construction Inc. ranked highest
based primarily on the proposed construction price being approximately $194,000 less and identified
several value modifications, totaling approximately $220,000 for the City to consider when
negotiating the final contract. Ledcor maintains an office in Napa and their proposal includes the use
of local subcontractors for engineering, site work, concrete and electrical. Ledcor estimated that 56%
of the cost of their proposal will be performed by local businesses.
City staff recommends selection of Ledcor Construction, Inc., for Design-Build services for roof
extensions and concrete slab at the Materials Diversion Facility. It is further recommended that
Council authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate the final scope of work and price and
execute a Design-Build Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
In September 2016, Council approved the issuance of revenue bonds for the Solid Waste and
Materials Diversion Fund for capital improvements at the Materials Diversion Facility. $12,500,000 in
bond proceeds were received and are available to fund these improvements. The remaining funds
will be used for a Design-Build contract to complete covered compost facilities and stormwater
processing improvements which is expected to be presented to City Council in September 2017.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine that the potential environmental effects of the
Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report were adequately analyzed by the Initial Study
and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Napa Renewable Resource Project (File No.
PL12-0022), adopted November 7, 2013 (Resolution No. PC2013-15), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162.

RESOLUTION R2017-__
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE AND
EXECUTE A DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT WITH LEDCOR
CONSTRUCTION INC., IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$2,400,000, FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES FOR ROOF EXTENSIONS AND CONCRETE
SLAB AT THE CITY’S MATERIALS DIVERSION FACILITY
AND DETERMINING THAT THE ACTIONS AUTHORIZED
BY THIS RESOLUTION WERE ADEQUATELY ANALYZED
BY A PREVIOUS CEQA ACTION
WHEREAS, the City’s Solid Waste and Materials Diversion Fund recently secured
bond financing to construct a variety of necessary capital improvements at the City’s
Materials Diversion Facility; and
WHEREAS, Napa Municipal Code Section 2.70.91 authorizes the City to enter into
contracts with design-build entities for any combination of services needed for the design
and construction or manufacture of a project provided that City Council makes a written
determination that the proposed contract complies with certain requirements; and
WHEREAS, in April of 2017, City staff issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) from
Design-Build contractors and on June 2, 2017, received two proposals; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the proposal submissions and concluded that the
proposal submitted by Ledcor Construction Inc. offers the best overall value to the City
based on the selection criteria identified in the RFP; and
WHEREAS, in 2013, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was
prepared and adopted for the Napa Renewable Resources Project, which included an
analysis of the need for roof structures for storm water compliance and the use of concrete
slabs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter,
as presented at the public meetings of the City Council identified herein, including any
supporting reports by City Staff, and any information provided during public meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Napa,
as follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this
Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s
adoption of this Resolution.
Page 104 of 477
ATTACHMENT 1
R2017-__Page 2 of 5 June 20, 2017
2. The City Council finds that the 2013 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration prepared and adopted for the Napa Renewable Resources Project included
analysis of significant improvements at the existing Materials Diversion Facility including
adding facilities for covered composting, anaerobic digestion, biomass gasification, storm
water management and solar panels. Roof structures for storm water compliance were
identified in the analysis, however the specific structures to be constructed were not
known at the time. Concrete slabs were included in the analysis for the covered
composting facility, however the specific slab for recyclable storage was not included.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, when an EIR has been certified or a
negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that
project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the
light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or
negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was
adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one
or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

R2017-__Page 3 of 5 June 20, 2017
The City Council hereby finds that the actions authorized by this Resolution include the
same or similar type and scope of construction activities within the previously analyzed
footprint of the existing developed and operating industrial facility and do not constitute
the type of substantial change that would require major revisions to the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
Accordingly, the City Council hereby further determines that the potential environmental
effects of the actions authorized by this Resolution were adequately analyzed by the Initial
Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Napa Renewable Resource
Project (File No. PL12-0022), adopted November 7, 2013 (Resolution No. PC2013-15),
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
3. Pursuant to Napa Municipal Code Section 2.91.070, the City Council hereby
makes the following determinations in support of the authorization set forth in this
Resolution for the Public Works Director to negotiate the final scope of work and price for
a Design-Build Contract to complete the construction of the capital improvements for roof
extensions and concrete slab at the Materials Diversion Facility:
A. The City’s goals for the proposed project will be more cost effectively
achieved through a design-build contract, as compared to the City’s formal
bidding process, after taking into consideration (for all combined services and
property needed for the project): costs; timing; the need to coordinate with third
parties; unique requirements for project quality; the likely need to consider
innovative solutions to unique project challenges (such as the need to
incorporate specialized equipment or other project components); and the need
to consider unique project financing alternatives.
Findings: Using the formal bidding process would have required separate
structural, geotechnical and civil design contracts with City staff coordinating the
design, permitting and construction management efforts. The design-build
process more efficiently and cost-effectively placed all design efforts under a
single entity that is also responsible for permitting, inspection, testing and
coordination with ongoing operations.
B. The City actively solicited proposals from design-build entities in a manner
that effectively requested competitive proposals from entities qualified and
available to successfully complete the proposed project under a design-build
contract.
Findings: Request for Proposals from Design-Build contractors were actively
advertised in Northern California plan rooms and contractor trade associations.
C. After evaluating the respective qualifications and proposals submitted by
competitive proposers, and after negotiating contract terms with the apparently
successful design-build entity, the City selected the design-build entity on a “best
value” basis that will most cost effectively achieve the City’s goals for the
Page 106 of 477
ATTACHMENT 1
R2017-__Page 4 of 5 June 20, 2017
proposed project, after considering: the criteria set forth in paragraph A above;
the feasibility and likelihood of success of the design-build entity’s approach to
the project; overall price (including initial costs and life cycle costs); schedule;
the design-build entity’s experience, training, and qualifications (including an
evaluation of references on similar projects related to responsiveness,
timeliness, quality of work, and overall performance); the design-build entity’s
capacity, capability, and financial stability to complete the project; and overall
responsiveness to the City’s RFP.
Findings: Ledcor Construction Inc. has extensive experience with the type and
scope of construction activities included in the Design-Build Contract. Their
price quote was the lowest proposal and offered additional value engineering
options for the City to consider to further reduce cost.
D. The contract between the design-build entity and the City: (a) meets the
purpose and goals identified in Subsection 2.91.010(D) of Napa Municipal Code
Chapter 2.91, and (b) complies with the requirements of Subsection 2.91.030(B)
of Napa Municipal Code Chapter 2.91.
Findings: Yes, the contract meets the goals of the Napa Municipal Code and
provides the best value to the City with a qualified contractor to deliver the
Design-Build services in a timely and cost effective manner.
4. The City Council hereby authorizes the Public Works Director to negotiate
and execute a Design-Build Contract with Ledcor Construction Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $2,400,000 for design and construction services for roof extensions and concrete
slab at the City’s Materials Diversion Facility.
5. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

Project Management
1. Our team prioritizes taking the time to understand and analyze our client’s most pressing
issues. We carefully review the project scope and requirements and customize our approach
to suit the city’s needs. From there, Ledcor takes the lead to direct the manpower and provide
expertise necessary to overcome challenges, leading to completion of our work on time and
under budget.
Elements of our Construction and Project Management Approach:
THE RIGHT TEAM: We have put together a team of professionals who are passionate about
the industry and have worked together on numerous projects, including expansion projects
and facilities containing laboratory components.
CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE: We ensure that our guidance, leadership, and
coordination in completing bid documents, prequalifications, and schedule have the correct
focus in mind for the project. Therefore, after project award, our team will meet with the City
and architect to gain an in-depth understanding of the refined requirements for this project.

P a g e 5 | 21
COLLABORATION DURING DESIGN: As the project design progresses, Ledcor will take
charge to support design development meetings, provide meeting agendas and minutes,
compile constructability review comments, submit detailed preliminary estimates of costs and
monitor the preconstruction progress via a bar chart schedule. Collaboration is the Ledcor
way.
PRO-ACTIVE PRE-CONSTRUCTION: We understand the process of jurisdictional
approvals including the necessity to gain required approvals in advance. When necessary,
we utilize a “fast track” approach to identify permits that can be processed and approved
earlier to start the construction process sooner. By issuing early release packages that offer
agencies “first pass” at approving items that have significant design and cost impacts, we can
maintain the project schedule while still gaining the correct approvals along the way.
BIDDING: Our team understands the intricate nuances of bidding out Multiple-Prime CM
projects. We know it is not enough to just advertise the projects; we must also improve bid
solicitations to include local contractors, as well as those with municipal experience and those
who have previously worked with Ledcor. To ensure overall project success, we focus on
three principles when making decisions throughout preconstruction:
· Provide contractors adequate time to bid the project
· Provide contractors adequate space to laydown and build
· Provide contractors the best drawings – a result of ensuring the architect coordinates
design review comments and answers pre-bid questions via addenda.
Attention to these three principles has resulted in accurate, competitive bids, highly qualified
contractors, and our most successful projects.
CONSTRUCTION: During construction, Ledcor leads the effort in monitoring and measuring
the work process. Our collaboration with the architect removes ambiguities, which can arise
in materials and construction specifications. We work in unison with the architect to develop a
clear understanding of what is specified and expected, so our focus remains on completing a
quality project on schedule without unnecessary delays and within budget.
COMMISSIONING AND CLOSEOUT: For each of our projects, commissioning and closeout
is overseen from beginning to end. We take charge to ensure all systems are developed
consistently with the City’s wishes and operating properly before occupancy, and when the
building is fully operational. Working hand in hand with the City, we ensure a seamless
occupancy.
By utilizing digital, hyperlinked plan sets throughout construction, we can provide the City with
a comprehensive closeout package immediately upon completion.

Metal Roof Structures:
1. Ledcor’s experience working on projects composed of, or incorporating, metal buildings,
metal roof structures and concrete is quite extensive. Our work on such projects locally has
afforded us the opportunity to learn what works and what doesn’t, in terms of scheduling,
application, exterior coatings treatment selection, insulation materials selection and site work
preparation. This experience allows Ledcor to properly identify the scope and requirements of
the Materials Sorting Facility and employ the appropriate, methodical plan to ensure the
successful completion of the project. Please refer to Exhibit – A (see column F) for
examples of our work with Metal Roof and Concrete construction projects.

3. Please refer to Exhibit – A
Project Schedule:
1. STRATEGIES TO DELIVER THE PROJECT ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET
Ledcor will staff the project with personnel experienced with construction in an occupied
environment. Our experience dictates that construction around an occupied facility requires
flexibility to adapt to constantly changing constraints such as a scheduled shut down, a
space’s availability to commence work, a day where owner requests no work to be
performed, and inclement weather. We will foster a team atmosphere of contingency
planning so that reacting to ‘curveballs’ is second nature and does not impede progress.
Strategies Ledcor implements to ensure on-time completion include:
· Conduct a detailed risk assessment of the project at the pre-construction stage and tailor
our corporate program into a Project Specific Safety Program (PSSP) to address the
unique requirements of the various work processes to be employed by Ledcor and our
trade contractors. Ledcor will work closely with the selected trade contractors and
consultants to ensure that qualified, competent personnel carry out the needs of this
project in a safe and efficient manner.
· Prioritize subcontracting strategy so that critical path subcontractors can commence
generating RFI’s, shop drawings, and submittals as early as possible.
· Identify long lead items early to begin the procurement activities as soon as possible.
Work closely with subcontractors to track lead times.
· Maintain discipline in the execution of the Project Schedule, regularly communicate
progress, potential negative impacts, and recommended mitigation strategies.
· Utilize subcontractors that have the capacity to increase manpower as needed.

We welcome feedback of any kind to ensure the smoothest completion of your project.
Collaboration with our partners is the Ledcor way.
STEPS TAKEN TO ENSURE PROJECT COORDINATION
For the City’s Materials Sorting Facility, Ledcor will draw upon its sizeable repository of time-
tested procedures that have been honed over the years. At the outset of the project, Ledcor
will seek to identify all the team members and stakeholders and their respective roles and
responsibilities. Considerations for project coordination include:
· A clear understanding of communication flow, particularly with respect to timely answers
to Requests For Information (RFI’s).
· Regular meetings, typically weekly, with Owner, Architect, and Ledcor. Communicate
information by publishing meeting minutes, including action items.

there, Ledcor takes the lead to direct the manpower and provide expertise necessary to overcome
challenges, leading to completion of our work on time and within budget.
We understand the City’s Materials Sorting Facility project will occur in a fully operational
facility and that systems serving occupied areas must remain fully operational during
construction. We also understand the requirement to adhere to strict operational control
guidelines.
Local Presence. Local Responsibility
We offer the resources and experience of a large corporate entity to the small regional
contractor, for which we have become known. Our office is located less than 2 miles from
the project site, allowing us to respond to issues quickly day or night.
Specific Occupied Building Expertise
Ledcor has completed dozens of construction, remodel, renovations, and tenant
improvements of/in fully operational buildings and offices. We are especially adept at
minimizing disruptions, adhering to client operational requirements, and implementing shift
schedules or night work to ensuring the most number of qualified bidders.

E. PROJECT APPROACH
The Ledcor team provides the City of Napa with a strong team organization and already honed working
relationship. With successful projects already on our resumes, our team, including several repeat sub
consultants, functions within a highly efficient and collaborative environment. We are drawing on our past
experience collaborating on projects in configuring a team for the Materials Sorting Facility.
Ledcor’s strong team organization, clear lines of authority, collaborative approach and focus schedules,
budgets and quality played a key role in the successful delivery of these projects. With a history of Design-
Build/Design-Assist project collaboration, our team has an established line of communication that will ensure
information is being communicated accurately and timely to the proper personnel.
Ledcor will implement these already established procedures in the design and construction of the Materials
Sorting Facility to ensure we exceed the City of Napa’s expectations. Ledcor, as the Design-Build
contractor, interfaces directly with the Owner as the party responsible for the successful delivery of the
project. With overall responsibility for the performance of the team, Jeff Baptista, Project Executive, is
empowered to promptly resolve issues that may arise and is dedicated to delivering a quality project on time
and on budget. Our internal team includes highly experienced staff members dedicated to the project
throughout its duration.
Our team members have participated in Design-Build and Construction Management projects of similar size,
scope or complexity to the proposed Project, including transit facilities, police stations, fire stations and
public facilities and are ready to bring their experience to the City of Napa.
Serving as the General Contractor, Ledcor’s team maintains responsibility for the overall management and
delivery of the project. John McBroom, Project Manager, Jose Zavala, Superintendent, and Alex Pimienta,
Project Engineer, will serve as the management team on the project. This team has worked on several
Design-Build projects and collectedly brings over 40 years of experience managing a variety of public and
private construction projects. This team will be supported by additional off site resources such as our

estimating, scheduling, value analysis, constructability, purchasing, and BIM teams. To ensure success of
the project, we will implement our proven chain of command and established lines of communication.
We understand the necessity and correlation between document completeness, coordination, and
constructability and completing projects on time and within budget. Our team has completed numerous
facilities that succeed in these areas, as well as provided architecture that is recognized for its excellence.
Design-Builder’s Approach to Management of Key Personnel
With overall responsibility for the performance of the team, Jeff Baptista, Project Executive, is empowered to
promptly resolve issues that may arise and is dedicated to delivering a quality project on time and within
budget. Jeff will serve as the primary contact during design and construction, ensuring consistency and
timeliness of communication. As Project Manager of Construction, John McBroom, reports directly to the
City of Napa and their representatives and is responsible for working with Kyle Schuh, Quality Control
Manager, who takes responsibility for the implementation of our Construction Quality Program.
John McBroom, Project Manager, is skilled at actively leading the construction phases, coordinating with
design team, reviewing document constructability, overseeing construction activities and providing guidance
to staff and contractors. Jose Zavala, Project Superintendent, oversees day-to-day operations on site and is
responsible for establishing and monitoring performance targets so that the quality, safety, budget, and
schedule objectives are being met. He also makes sure that the project is built according to approved plans,
specifications, and applicable building codes.
O’Malley Wilson Westphal Architects’ Principal Architect, Dan Westphal, AIA, will be Principal
Engineer/Architect and will collaborate with the Owner throughout the process. Dan Westphal has extensive
experience with Design-Build, public works and transportation projects. He will lead the Design-Build team
effort in conjunction with the Ledcor team, ensuring decisions made during the design process are carried
through to construction.
Supporting the Ledcor/O’Malley Wilson Westphal team is a diverse group of specialty designer
subconsultants including Chaudhary & Associates, Civil Engineer and ZFA Structural Engineers.
As a vital member of the team, the City of Napa will fully participate in the design and construction process
with immediate and ongoing access to the rest of our team. Working with the City, our team will define
project roles and contact procedures customized to meet the needs of the City. This collaboration between
the City of Napa and the entire team provides all stakeholders access to the right people with the right
information at the right time.
Description of Design-Builder’s Management and Organizational Approach
Our Design-Build Team, led by Ledcor and O’Malley Wilson Westphal Architects, is an experienced team
with a proven track record, that will provide effective project management. We will utilize open collaboration
and clear communication, ensuring that all project goals are met, the project is delivered on-time, within
budget.
We have found that utilizing the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) approach, with public projects in particular,
effectively facilitates involvement of the design-build team during the earliest stages of project development,
which ensures we are part of the project team developing design solutions and therefore promoting the
greatest amount of collaboration between the City of Napa and the Design-Build entity. Ultimately, it allows
for ongoing communication, collaboration and connectivity from project conception through to completion.
In our experience, this delivery method with public works projects has allowed for a variety of Owner
benefits, including:
· Owner is able to select the best Design-Build team based on qualifications
Page 10 of 63
ATTACHMENT 3
Page 119 of 477
Design Build
Materials Sorting Facility Roof Extensions & Concrete Slab Extension Project
At the City’s Materials Diversion Facility
P a g e 11 | 21
· Owner-customized design to the budget
· Flexibility and opportunity for Owner to collaborate on permitting / design
· Cost analysis options can be provided to Owner as project progresses
· Construction estimating can begin very early in design, allowing comparison of specific technical
solutions
· Progressive estimates keep the Owner informed and supports informed “scope adjustment decisions”
· Risk and contingencies reduced and schedule needs met
· Better opportunities for local workforce and subcontracting
· Open-book approach enables Owner to make well-informed decisions
We center our management approach around the belief that projects succeed in an environment where
collaboration and partnership flourish. This collaborative environment extends to all stakeholders and the
community. Beginning at mobilization and continuing through project duration, we work together to confirm
communication and contract administration procedures which address the completion of the project. Ledcor
makes it a priority to ensure tracking of quality control start up and commissioning is maintained on the
project from beginning to end. In collaboration with our project team, we ensure all systems are developed
consistently with the City’s requirements. When the building is fully operational, we are there to provide post-
construction services, including initial operations support and process optimization services to ensure all
occupants are satisfied and comfortable with operation as planned to ensure a seamless occupancy.
Throughout construction, we hold weekly jobsite meetings with contractors, Architect, and City
representatives, where we record and distribute meeting minutes to all attendees. Updated schedules are
distributed and incorporated into the contract documents. During construction, a fully-equipped trailer will be
placed onsite, providing the team with a centralized area to hold meetings, view project documents and
models and oversee construction. Our field teams are equipped with tablets synchronized to the cloud-
based, hyperlinked documents. This provides all onsite and off-site team members access to all approved
project documents. Project photos are also linked, allowing field managers and superintendents to address
many issues from wherever they are on the project site.
The success of a project revolves around the thoroughness and reasonableness of the project schedule and
control of the budget. Deadlines are met by establishing a system of accountability, which all stakeholders
are held to. Under the guidance and oversight of the Project Manager, each member of the project team is
responsible for schedules that speak directly to their particular scope of the project. This positively impacts
every project element, ensuring each task is identified and that a commitment from the trade is secured.
Our responsibility is to monitor and minimize all budget costs, and in turn build a successful project that all
stakeholders are proud of. Ledcor creates and manages a comprehensive budget that includes, construction
and change orders. We tie the master budget to the master schedule, providing the City of Napa with current
and forecasted monetary needs. Each subcontractor will be tied contractually to a schedule for its own
scope of work that will support the overall project schedule.
We will approach your project with an innovative “whole building” philosophy, considering all aspects of
design, construction and quality. We will take into account all building components and systems during the
design phase and integrate them to work together. As part of this approach, we will create buy-in to identify
common goals, hold regular design team coordination meetings and ensure personnel are aware of any
information discussed at meetings.
We propose that a partnering workshop be staged at the setup of the Materials Sorting Facility project. The
sole agenda of this workshop is to establish and begin implementing the decision-making partnering
process, and we propose that this process would continue throughout the project’s duration. At the
partnering workshops, the stakeholders identify all respective goals for the project in which their interests
overlap. These jointly-developed and mutually agreed to goals may include implementing specific

procedures and systems to solve concerns on the job, meeting the financial goals of each party, limiting
review periods for contract submittals, no lost time because of injuries, or other goals specific to the project.
These meetings also enable us to identify and resolve potential problems at an early stage, saving time,
money and headache.
Ledcor has one of the best safety records of any major construction company in North America. Safety
forms a major part of our corporate philosophy and day-to-day activities. Ledcor will work closely with the
selected trade contractors and consultants to make sure that qualified, competent personnel carry out the
needs of this project in a safe and efficient manner. Our project team will manage health and safety on the
site and ensure compliance with all local government regulations and other bylaws, codes, and standards
applicable to the project. Taking care to actively manage all phases of construction with a precise plan of
action, Ledcor will work with the City during schematic design validation, design development, construction
documents, permitting, construction and commissioning and closeout.

INTEGRATED DESIGN-BUILD TEAM
With a history of Design-Build/Design-Bid-Build project collaboration, our team has an established line of
communication that will ensure information is being communicated accurately and timely to the proper
personnel.
The Ledcor team provides the City of Napa with a strong team organization and already honed working
relationship. With successful projects already on our resumes, our team, including several repeat
subconsultants, functions within a highly efficient and collaborative environment. We are drawing on our past
experience collaborating on public facilities in configuring a team for the Materials Sorting Facility.
As a vital member of the team, the City of Napa will receive priority in participating in the design and
construction process with immediate and ongoing access to the rest of our team. Working with the City, our
team will define project roles and contact procedures customized to meet the needs of the City. This
collaboration between the City of Napa and the entire team provides all stakeholders access to the right
people with the right information at the right time.
F. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
1. Ledcor is committed to a standard of construction quality, methods, and procedures that
meets the requirements of the contract specifications for the project. We have developed
Ledcor’s Construction Quality Program (CQP) that provides overarching guidance to our
approach to managing quality of construction on all our projects.
Ledcor’s CQP is based on three principles:
Systematic execution - We develop project-specific quality plans with ordered processes
and procedures that meet industry standards but are also tailored to each project’s
requirements. We focus our decades of experience on integrating client quality needs,
consultant quality expectations, contract type, construction cost, community location,
construction type(s), and complexity.

Design Build
Materials Sorting Facility Roof Extensions & Concrete Slab Extension Project
At the City’s Materials Diversion Facility
P a g e 14 | 21
Integrated problem solving - Every project has its challenges. We plan for them by
integrating quality considerations in the pre-construction phase. During construction, we
identify, log, and track to completion mock-ups, tests, issues, non-conformances,
deficiencies, and warranty items identified by Ledcor, the client, consultants, and trade
contractors.
Continuous learning - Not only do we learn from our challenges, we also learn from our
clients, consultants, and trade contractors, and refine our processes and procedures on
an ongoing basis. We communicate our lessons learned to other Ledcor project teams.
The Ledcor CQP is scalable and is designed to capture the project’s unique
requirements.
Prior to the commencement of each project, our site team develops a project specific
quality plan. The Project Quality Plan (PQP) is reviewed and signed off by the Ledcor
branch manager. This provides executive oversight to how we will approach, manage
and deliver quality construction for each project. The standard PQP is implemented
throughout the project planning, execution, and completion stages of each Ledcor
project, starting at contract award.
Planning
During this phase, we:
· Receive and review the drawings and specifications and identify items that require
particular quality management attention.
· Review contract scope and specifications and identify quality management
requirements.
· Make sure quality assumptions made by estimating staff are communicated to the
project execution team through a formal meeting process.
· Communicate to subcontractors and suppliers specified quality requirements
described by contract scope through individual post-bid meetings.
· Plan and schedule construction quality activities including timing of submittals,
mockups, meetings, and quality verifications.
· Plan and schedule for water ingress prevention.
· Transfer and share information about the quality requirements, processes, and
procedures with Ledcor project personnel.
· Verify that adequate Ledcor resources are available to manage the quality process
and that they are trained in quality management procedures.
· Complete and seek your approval for the Project’s Quality Plan (PQP), which
describes in detail the specific techniques to be employed to manage the quality of
your project.
· Incorporate the approved PQP in all of our trade contract agreements, including
obtaining, reviewing, and approving Subcontractor Quality Plans from key trades.
Execution
During this phase, we:
· Implement, manage, and monitor the PQP.
· At the start of their work, formally review with each trade contractor the
commitments they made at the bid stage, their approach to achieving those

commitments, and emerging aspects of construction that may affect the quality of
their work, including their proposed solutions.
· Identify, track, and resolve installations, products, methods, or processes that do not
meet requirements or that are non-conforming.
· Monitor weather events to minimize the likelihood of water ingress during
construction and mitigate any damage that may occur.
· Manage emergent issues; resolve, administer, and document resolutions.
· Manage the timeliness of information and communicate issues and corrective
actions.
Completion
During this phase, we:
· Manage the correction of any identified deficiencies.
· Assist with commissioning and handover.
· Perform post-completion project reviews and share lessons learned, which
promotes ongoing learning and improvements.
· Document and manage the resolution of warranty items identified during the
warranty period.

(NVWMA). In addendum #1, the City wrote the following:
“With reference to the southern access and laydown area specifically noted in the RFI
diagram and question, proposers should be aware that this property is not owned by the
City of Napa but instead is owned by a public Joint Powers Authority (of which the City of
Napa is a member jurisdiction) named the Napa-Vallejo Waste Management Authority
(NVMWA). The Executive Director of the NVWMA is Mr. Rich Luthy who may be reached
by email at Rich.Luthy@countyofnapa.org or by phone at (707) 299-1314. Any alternate
proposal that intends to utilize property not owned by the City of Napa must secure
written permission from that property owner and submit the written permission as part of
the alternate proposal submittal.”
In subsequent email communication from the NVWMA to one of the proposers seeking written
permission for use of NVWMA property as a potential alternative proposal for City RFP for this
project, NVWMA Executive Director Rich Luthy noted that the NVWMA Board of Directors does
not meet again until June 8, 2017 (after the June 2, 2017 RFP submittal date). Mr. Luthy also
noted that further environment analysis would need to occur before NVWMA-owned property
could be used or permission issued by the NVWMA. Furthermore, Mr. Luthy wrote the following:
“… We are willing to give your proposal serious consideration, but I can’t give you a firm yes or no until
we know more about potential wetlands and we have worked out an access agreement acceptable to our
Legal Counsel.

I attempted to advise the City that I may not be able to provide written permission by their submittal
date, but the Addendum was being issued at about the same time I was responding to the City, and that
information was not reflected in the Addendum.”
In light of the above statement from the NVWMA and given timeline challenges and requirements
of public agencies such as the NVWMA, the City seeks to clarify what will be accepted in lieu of
“written permission” for an alternative proposal that utilizes space and access from NVWMA-
owned property to the south of City-owned MDF property. For the purposes of submittal to the
City by June 2nd, each proposer wishing to submit an alternative proposal that depends on use of
NVWMA-owned property should secure a letter from the NVWMA affirming that the NVWMA
would consider use of their property if the proposer is selected by the City and any potential
environmental restrictions are properly identified and addressed by the proposer. Such a letter
of consideration from the NVWMA will substitute for the “written permission” requirement
described in Addendum No. 1 to this Design-Build (DB) RFP. Please note that while a
consideration letter from the NVWMA will satisfy the written permission requirement for the June
2nd submittal, it is ultimately the responsibility of each proposer to secure written permission for
any alternative proposal utilizing property not owned by the City of Napa.
Item 2 (Modification of a single “Open span” Requirement for Roof Extensions):
Page 2 of Attachment E of the project RFP described the required roof extensions as follows:

Addendum No. 2
Request for Proposal Page 3 of 4
Materials Sorting Facility Roof Extension
and Concrete Slab Extension Project
Design-Build Services
Project (City JL) No. MD18PW01
The City has verified with the MDF operator (Napa Recycling & Waste Services, LLC or NRWS)
that one of the front “open span” dimensions can be reduced to a minimum of 20 feet of spacing
between support columns. This change is only for the western roof extension structure (number
“5” roof dimension as listed above and in project RFP Attachment E) and shown to the left of the
Materials Sorting Facility in cut-out from project RFP Exhibit 1 below.
Thus, the required roof extension dimensions shown in project RFP Attachment E are modified
as follows (see bolded red text for modified City direction related to this change):
“Required Components
• Open span on front of each structure (second dimension in description above) to
allow unimpeded access for refuse trucks and other equipment. The sole exception
to the front open span requirement is the Western roof structure (200 feet)
where the support columns may be reduced to a minimum of 20 foot spacing
between support columns.
• Minimum 20’ spacing between support columns on sides of each structure as well as
Western roof extension structure front span.”
Please note again the front open span dimension has ONLY been modified for the western roof
extension structure (number 5 roof dimension). All other front open span dimensions and
unimpeded access requirements remained unchanged.

Item #:5.I.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Jacques R. LaRochelle, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Shannon Barcal, Associate Civil Engineer
TITLE:
Trower Avenue Storm Drain Improvements Project - Phase 1
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving a construction contract with Bay Pacific Pipelines Inc. for the Trower
Avenue Storm Drain Improvements Project - Phase 1 in the bid amount of $1,987,325, authorizing
the Public Works Director to approve contract amendments and charges for project services up to a
total amount not to exceed $2,327,000, authorizing a budget appropriation in the amount of
$177,000, and determining that the actions authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA.
DISCUSSION:
The Trower Avenue Storm Drain Improvements Project - Phase 1 includes storm drainage
improvements along Trower Avenue from the Salvador Creek crossing east of Jefferson Street west
to Lassen Drive.
The work generally consists of installing storm drainage infrastructure including large diameter storm
drain pipe, junction structures, manholes and catch-basins. The storm drain pipe is to tie into the
existing concrete culvert located in Trower Avenue at Salvador Creek.
This project was bid previously; however, City Council at the May 16, 2017 meeting rejected all bids
due to the low bidder withdrawing their bid and the two remaining bids exceeding the available
budget for the project. The project was reissued for bid on May 18, 2017 with revised specifications
providing enhancements to the overall project delivery schedule, construction traffic control and
staging areas intended to improve constructability and reduce project cost.
Three (3) bids for construction were received and opened at 3:00 P.M. on June 9, 2017. The
engineer’s estimate for project construction, including Addendum No. 1 was $1.93 million.
The bids received were as follows:
$1,987,325 Bay Pacific Pipelines Inc., Novato, CA*
$2,057,870 JMB Construction Inc., South San Francisco, CA

File #:982-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:5.I.
$2,497,865 Ghilotti Construction Company, Inc., Santa Rosa, CA
*Apparent Lowest and Best Bid.
This project is subject to a Local Business Preference pursuant to Chapter 2.93 of the Napa
Municipal Code which affords local businesses a preference of a three percent (3%) reduction factor
to the bid. None of the bidders qualify for the local business preference.
Based on the apparent lowest and best bid, the construction budget is proposed as follows:
Lowest and Best Bid Amount - $1,987,325
Construction Contingency (10% of bid) - $198,733
City Engineering Division Management - $6,000
Material/Geotechnical Testing - $26,000
Construction Division Management and Inspection - $80,000
Total - $2,298,058
The construction contingency, engineering division management, material/geotechnical testing, and
construction division management values are estimates. The funds can be used interchangeably
between the items listed above. City staff believes due to the current construction market the above
lowest and best bid amount is acceptable for Phase 1 construction.
To meet the project schedule, the City Council at their April 18, 2017 meeting, authorized
procurement of the necessary reinforced concrete pipe from Rinker Materials. As the final design
evolved after that date the need for additional reinforced concrete pipe was identified.
Staff is requesting authorization to amend the original procurement amount to purchase the
additional pipe necessary and also add a contingency to address unforeseen conditions that might
require additional pipe purchases. The additional reinforced concrete pipe is estimated to cost just
under $3,000 and a 5% contingency on top of the revised total is $9,634. The contingency amount
will only be used if additional pipe is required during construction.
The proposed amendment to the pipe procurement purchase order is summarized below:
A. Previous Purchase Order Authorization (P124762): $189,937.65
B. Additional Pipe Purchase: $2,731.70
C. Subtotal (A + B): $192,669.35
D. 5% contingency (5% of C): $9,633.47
E. Amended Purchase Order Total (C + D): $203,000.00 (rounded up to nearest thousand)
The project’s outfall is located within Salvador Creek triggering the need for environmental regulatory
permits which include wildlife biological services for the Salvador Creek portion of the work.
This work is proposed to occur during the nesting bird season (February 1 through August 31 in the
Bay Area). The permits require pre-construction nesting bird surveys be performed. Staff requested a

Item #:5.I.
professional services contract from GHD, Inc. for wildlife biological services to perform the necessary
nesting bird surveys. GHD, Inc. provides wildlife biological services independent of their civil
engineering design services. The existing CIP Budget for this project did not contemplate the need
for this professional service, therefore an additional appropriation of $14,900 is requested to cover
pre-construction surveys. The biological survey contract includes approximately $11,000 to perform
two bird surveys and approximately $4,000 will only be used if a protected bird species is discovered
triggering further regulatory compliance.
For the actions described herein, the existing FY project budget is insufficient to cover the project
costs, therefore an additional budget appropriation is requested. The total funds needed for Phase 1
of the Trower Avenue Storm Drain Improvements project is approximately $2,327,000 [$2,298,058
(Construction Budget) + $13,062.35 (Rinker Materials PO Amendment) + $14,900 (Biological
Services)].
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Existing FY 16-17 project budget is insufficient to cover the project costs, however a significant
portion of the balance of the funds needed are identified in the current CIP 17-18 budget which will
be available July 1, 2017 assuming budget approval at the June 20, 2017 City Council meeting. In
the current 5-year Capital Improvement Program plan, $2.15 million is programmed for construction
of the project in FY 2017/18. The construction contract is estimated to be fully executed after July 1,
2017, however, additional funds are needed to fully fund the remaining costs of this project. Staff
requests an additional appropriation of $177,000 be added to the project budget.

demolition of an existing pipeline, for projects less than one mile in length).

From:Jacques R. LaRochelle, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Michael J. Hether, Senior Civil Engineer
TITLE:
Dewatering Equipment (Centrifuge) at Edward I. Barwick Jamieson Treatment Plant (EIBJTP)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute an agreement with GEA Mechanical
Equipment US, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $450,000 for procurement of dewatering equipment
and operations support services at the City’s water treatment plant.
DISCUSSION:
EIBJTP treats source water delivered through the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) from Barker Slough in
the Sacramento Delta. In 2010, major treatment plant additions and improvements were completed
which allowed the City to more effectively treat its existing allotment of State Water Project (SWP)
water supply; additionally, the improvements enabled the City to consolidate operational practices
and provide higher quality water to its customers. Accordingly, City staff operates EIBJTP during wet
and dry seasons.
The quality of raw water received through the NBA varies depending on the season (wet versus dry).
During dry seasons, the City receives raw water that is less turbid (i.e. less cloudy or hazy due to
suspended particles); conversely, during wet seasons, the raw water is more turbid. The volume of
particulate (i.e. sludge) left over at the conclusion of the water treatment process is directly related to
the turbidity levels in the raw water received through the NBA.
In order to effectively and efficiently manage high volumes of wet sludge at the end of any treatment
process, it (the sludge) must be dried which can either be achieved naturally (e.g. spread out in a
field and exposed to air and sunlight) or mechanically (e.g. belt filter press, vacuum filtration,
centrifuge); the former requires access to open land and requires labor-intensive efforts to spread the
sludge to facilitate drying and disposal, while the latter requires installation of dewatering equipment
(i.e. centrifuge). The parcel that EIBJTP occupies is not large enough to efficiently address handling
and disposal of sludge; consequently, the City must rely on a mechanical means to facilitate drying
and disposal.
The City has been leasing centrifuge equipment since completion of the EIBJTP improvement project

Item #:5.J.
because at that time, equipment leasing provided better value (i.e. the cost to lease was less than the
cost to purchase). Since then, leasing price options have changed as there is limited competition
amongst service providers, which has resulted in cost prohibitive lease options. For the reasons
stated, City staff recommends purchasing centrifuge equipment in lieu of leasing.
City staff has been working with the design consultant (Mott MacDonald) to complete a basis of
design; however, the design (civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.) cannot be completed until the
centrifuge is selected. Once selected, Mott MacDonald will tailor the remainder of the design around
the specific centrifuge requirements. Upon completion of the design and construction project
advertisement (May 2018), City staff will recommend award of a construction contract (July 2018).
On April 14, 2017, the City posted an advertisement soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from
centrifuge suppliers offering equipment and support services and on May 12, 2017, received four
proposals. Staff conducted a merit-based review based on criteria detailed in the RFP which are
summarized as follows: Capacity and Skill to Perform (30 points), Ability to Provide Future
Maintenance Services (40 points), Cost (20 points), and Current Technology (10 points) for a total of
100 points.
All centrifuge suppliers who submitted had the demonstrated and relevant experience to meet the
expectations outlined in the City’s RFP; however GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc., ranked
highest in the dimensions of Cost, Ability to Provide Future Maintenance Services, as well as having
completed similar projects for agencies comparable to the City’s water utility.
City staff recommends selection of GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc., for centrifuge procurement
and operations support services.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Funding for dewatering equipment procurement and support services is provided by existing
appropriations more specifically described as follows:
SOURCES:
$850,000 EIBJTP Sludge Centrifuge Equipment (53103-57601-WQ16PW05-53201)
USES:
$337,500 EIBJTP Sludge Centrifuge Equipment Procurement
$57,000 Installation, Start-up and Maintenance Support Services (one year)
$55,500 Contingency
$450,000 Total Procurement & Support Services with Contingency
CEQA:
The Public Works Director has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda

Report is not in-and-of-itself a “project” (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) since it does
not result in a physical change in the environment. However, the Recommended Action is a part of a
larger “project” that will be subject to environmental review in accordance with CEQA at the “earliest
feasible time” prior to “approval” consistent with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15004 and 15352. The
larger “project” will involve site construction and installation of the dewatering equipment, and staff
plans to bring back a CEQA analysis of that project to Council prior to the construction contract
approval.

EXCEPTION REQUEST FOR SPECIALTY ITEMS
Per NMC 2.91.050, the City may enter into a contract for a "specialty item," provided that the City Manager
makes a written determination of the following:
1. Project need which the City intends to satisfy through the c ontract for the specialty item. Please provide a
functional description (or performance criteria) of the City’s needs.
Part of the City’s water treatment process involves the handling and disposal of sludge at the end of the
process. In order to effectively and efficiently manage high volumes of wet sludge, the City must rely on
dewatering equipment (centrifuge) to facilitate drying, which in turn, lowers disposal costs .
2. The types of property or service which are available (or used by other similarly situ ated private or public
agencies) to meet this need (or similar needs), and the contractors which are available to provide the
property or service. Please provide documentation of the steps the City has taken to evaluate the types of
property, service, and contractors potentially available to serve the City's needs.
A centrifuge is a common piece of equipment used by sewer and water agencies across the nation to
dewater and dispose of sludge. In this specific case, City staff advertised a request for propos al
(equipment procurement includes professional support services), received and evaluated four proposals
and selected GEA to supply the centrifuge equipment and professional services.
3. Please provide the reasons why a similar property or service cannot meet the City’s needs (including
considerations of compatibility with other City property and services regarding maintenance, repair,
training, quality, price, or similar considerations), or why the City's needs can only be met by one type of
property or service (the specialty item).
City staff has been working with the design consultant to develop a basis of design, but cannot
complete a dewatering facility design until the centrifuge is selected. Once selected, the design
consultant can tailor the remainder of the facility design around the specific centrifuge requirements.
As part of the merit-based review process, the ability to provide professional services was listed among
the evaluation criteria; GEA scored the highest across this dimension.
4. By entering into a contract for the specialty item from the proposed contractor, the City will meet the
purpose and goals identified in NMC Section 2.91.010.
Yes.
5. The contract complies with the requirements of NMC Section 2.91.030 (B). YES NO

Item #:5.K.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Jacques R. LaRochelle, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Joy Eldredge, Water General Manager
TITLE:
Monitoring, Analysis, and Modeling of Hennessey and Milliken Watersheds
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Public Works Director to execute Memorandum of Understanding with Napa County for
the study of the Hennessey and Milliken Watersheds, at a City cost not to exceed $112,500, and
determine that the actions authorized by this item are exempt from CEQA.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Napa (City) owns and operates two local surface water dams, reservoirs, and treatment
plants that are vital to the municipal water supply for the City of Napa and surrounding areas in
unincorporated Napa County. The City provides treat & wheel services to the Cities of Calistoga and
American Canyon as well as wholesale water to the City of St. Helena. The City’s water system
provides water for 84,000 people throughout Napa County.
In recent years, there have been a cumulative increase in the number of land use changes within the
watershed where runoff contributes to these critical surface water supplies. The City identified this
work as part of a larger Master Plan to address multiple items associated with Reservoir and
Watershed operations. However, this portion of the work was separated from the Master Plan so that
City staff can work together with County staff who reviews and approves land use changes in the
watersheds. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) documents that the County will hold the
contract for the coequal work. City and County staff has determined there is a need to review
multiple aspects of the watershed lands, document the current situation, and assess future scenarios
by setting up a model of the watershed that considers natural soils, land formations and existing and
proposed land use changes. The scope of work will include recommendations for the monitoring and
analysis of the tributaries above the drinking water reservoir water to understand natural and man-
made contributions to the municipal drinking water supplies. Existing and future monitoring data will
be used to calibrate and refine the watershed model. This model and information will be used to
assure a stable, sustainable water supply for the City’s water customers by increasing the
understanding the quality of raw water upstream of the reservoirs.
County Staff will issue the jointly approved request for proposals for the work and City and County

Staff will review submissions, and agree upon the most qualified team to perform the professional
services.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There are no impacts now. The total cost to the City for this effort is anticipated to be $80,000 -
$112,500.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Recommended Action is exempt from
CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (data collection and resource evaluation
activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource).

EXHIBIT “A”
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK:
The following generally describes the scope of work that shall be performed by the selected
contractor to develop a plan for monitoring the watershed, analyzing data, and developing a model.
Expected outcomes from this contract include the following.
• Calibrated watershed model of Hennessey and Milliken watersheds
• Simulated water quality outputs and comparison to observed data (where available)
• Monitoring plan which specifies additional data collection to be used to improve accuracy
of model outputs and reflect changing conditions over time
• Identification of additional data needs and next steps for updating and using model
Specific tasks and deliverables are detailed in the following sections.
Task 1 - TM1: Watershed Monitoring, Analyses, and Modeling
TM1 shall include developing a watershed monitoring and analysis plan, and developing and
applying a watershed model for the Lake Hennessy and Milliken Reservoir watersheds. TM1 will
include the Monitoring and Analysis Plan, and Watershed Model TM that will be completed
through the following tasks.
Task 1.1 – Monitoring and Analysis Plan
The purpose of the monitoring plan is to support ongoing model calibration and develop a record
of changing water quality conditions over time. After data review, the team will assess state and
county census and other GIS and land use data to identify population and land use changes,
municipal and industrial wastewater discharges that are tributary to the City’s untreated water
facilities, local and regional NPDES permits for urban runoff, hazardous materials spills involving
tributaries, watershed control and management practices of the City and County, and state and
federal drinking water standards and regulations. A monitoring and analysis plan shall be
developed based on the information collected to assess historical, planned and potential changes
within the watershed, such as from wild fire, timber harvest, grazing, recreation, and land use. In
addition, the monitoring plan shall incorporate all other monitoring recommendations identified in
the City of Napa Watershed Sanitary Survey dated November 2012.
The monitoring plan shall identify the following information to be collected for this purpose:
• Parameters
• Locations
• Frequency
• Analytical methods

2 Exh. A
Based on preliminary review of available existing data, discussions with City and County staff,
and understanding of potential water quality concerns, it is anticipated that the following categories
of parameters shall be monitored:
• General Physical Parameters
• Nutrients
• Pesticides and Herbicides
• Algae and potential for cyanotoxins
• Bacteria
• Sediment
• Alkalinity
• Turbidity
Specific parameters to be monitored will be selected to support modeling of the parameters
identified in Task 1.2.1. Monitoring locations will be established for continuity with existing
monitoring and designed to maximize the benefit of the collected data in calibrating source loading
in future use of the model. Locations and frequency will be determined in coordination with City
and County staff to build upon current effort to the greatest extent possible and to identify locations
that will be accessible for sample collection.
Another important aspect of model calibration is understanding existing land use and land
management practices. Outreach to specific local stakeholders shall be conducted to engage major
property owners including the City of Napa Water Division Water Quality Manager, Water
Treatment Manager, Watershed Supervisor and watershed facility workers, Napa County Parks
and Open Space District employees, CalFire representatives, wastewater operators, farmers,
ranchers, and vineyard operators to understand local conditions, operations and management
practices. Specific stakeholders to be contacted will be identified and prioritized based on
discussions with City and County staff, and interviews will be conducted in close coordination
with City and County staff. For the cost estimate, we assume up to six stakeholder meetings.
Task 1.1 Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Monitoring and Analysis Plan (electronic deliverables)
• Up to six (6) stakeholder interviews in coordination with the City and County
• Meeting agendas, minutes and materials
Task 1.2 - Watershed Model Development
This task will involve the development and application of two watershed models for the Lake
Hennessy and Milliken Reservoir watersheds. The Watershed Analysis Risk Management
Framework (WARMF) model is preferred but alternative suggestions will be considered.
Task 1.2.1 - Data Acquisition and Model Set Up
The watershed model will require input data including topography, climate, land use, land cover,
air quality, point source, septic system and water diversion information. Data shall be obtained
from publicly available sources such as the National Climatic Data Center, USDA Cropland Data
Layer, USGS, and National Land Cover Dataset, unless more detailed local data are available from
the City or County through this or a previous project. Data with a temporal component will be
acquired for an estimated 5- to 8-year period covering both wet and dry climate. Upon data

3 Exh. A
acquisition, the estimated time period may be refined to insure both wet and dry climate years are
represented in initial establishment of the model. It is recognized this model will be developed
and used long into the future. Over time, actual monitoring data will be used to refine the
assumptions and compare it to modeled output data; and will continue to refine and recalibrate the
model into the future. The initial set up is a starting point. Observed streamflow and observed
water quality data will be obtained from any previous monitoring efforts for the Lake Hennessy
and Milliken Reservoir watersheds. The following GIS data layers shall be used to build the model:
Publicly-available spatial data:
• Soils
o Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO, USDA NRCS); or
o State Soil Geographic (STATSGO, USDA NRCS); or
o Digital General Soil Map of the United States (STATSGO2, USDA NRCS)
• National Hydrography Dataset (NHD or NHDPlus)
• Land use data and land cover data (NLCD, USDA Cropland, USGS LandSat)
• Elevation data (NED)
Local data, as available:
• Locally-developed land use, land cover, and/or zoning and master planning data*
o Parcels layer with land use description
o Drainage boundaries/watersheds
o Domestic water supply drainages
o Vineyard (ag) boundaries
o Erosion control plan layer, to determine unbuilt vineyard entitlements, if any
o Potentially Plantable Soils layer, to determine vineyard buildout potential, if
needed
o ICE Vegetation layer (veg types countywide, mapped to 2.5ha minimum mapping
unit
o Winery locations
• Locally-developed elevation data or processed LiDAR data*
o Digital elevation model
o Slopes raster
• Locations of existing water quality and flow monitoring stations
• Any existing bathymetry data for reservoirs
• Locations and discharge data for point sources
• Locations and discharge data for diversions
• Locations and data for septic systems to the extent available.
• Any information on animal populations, existing BMPs, and fertilizer applications from
available sources including but not limited to submissions to the County Agricultural
Commissioner and the Natural Diversity Data Base (NDDB).

• Locations of recreational use including trail maps and park areas*
Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available from the County.
In addition to the GIS layers above, the following input data shall be collected from publically-
available sources.
• Meteorology data
o National Climate Data Center (NCDC): Global Summary of the Day
o National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SNOTEL Data (Western U.S.)
o California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS)
o California Data Exchange Center (CDEC)
• Rain Chemistry
o National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP)
• Air Chemistry
o Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET)
• Point Source Data
o EPA Pollution Control System (PCS) Database
o State Regulatory Agencies
o Dischargers’ Records
• Diversions, Irrigation
o Local utility information (water and wastewater providers)
• Observed hydrology
o USGS Gages (river flow)
o CDEC
• Water quality data
o USGS
o EPA (STORET)
o CDEC
o Local sources
o City of Napa Water Division
• Water districts
• Dischargers
• Water diverters / planned discharges from impoundments within the watershed
The model shall be developed to simulate shallow groundwater flow, surface runoff, and water
quality from runoff from a variety of sources such as point sources, nonpoint sources, animal
waste, septic systems, fertilizer, fungicide or pesticide application, recreational uses, and urban
runoff. Output shall include simulated flow and in-stream concentrations for parameters of interest
to the City and/or County. These are anticipated to include the following:
• Temperature
Page 12 of 15
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 200 of 477
[Type here] [Type here]
5 Exh. A
• pH
• turbidity
• Calcium
• Alkalinity
• Chloride
• Sulfate
• Total Nitrogen
• Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen
• Nitrate
• Ammonia
• Total Phosphorus
• Phosphate
• Total and Dissolved Organic Carbon
• Inorganic Carbon
• Total Suspended Solids
• Total Dissolved Solids
• Total Phytoplankton
• Dissolved Oxygen
• Biological Oxygen Demand
• Fecal Coliform
• Pesticides and Herbicides
The watersheds shall be delineated into subcatchments based on the location of existing and
planned monitoring, as well as the natural drainage systems. Subcatchments shall be delineated on
a scale consistent with the resolution of available data and watershed topography. The model shall
include and simulate all areas upstream of the reservoirs. The model will not include simulation
of the reservoirs themselves however reservoir modeling and in-reservoir treatment options will
be assessed under separate scopes of work.. The model and results of this study will be cross-
referenced with those efforts.
Task 1.2.2 - Model Calibration
The model shall be calibrated to available flow and water quality monitoring data. If sufficient
streamflow and water quality data are available, a portion of the simulation time period will be
used to validate the model calibration. If no flow data are available, gage data from a nearby
watershed will be used to develop estimated flow hydrographs for the Hennessey and Milliken
watersheds using a drainage area ratio (DAR) method. Both visual and statistical calibration
evaluations will be conducted as appropriate for the level of observed data available. It should be
noted that it is anticipated that the level of water quality data available may not support calibration
for one or more parameters of interest. If sufficient water quality data are not available to calibrate
for a specific water quality parameter, the model will still be built to simulate that parameter such
Page 13 of 15
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 201 of 477
[Type here] [Type here]
6 Exh. A
that over time, once the monitoring program has been implemented, the model calibration may be
updated to better simulate that parameter.
Task 1.2.3 - Model Application and Documentation
The calibrated model shall be used to run two (2) simulations that explore different
characterizations of future land use within the watershed. This will help the City and County to
analyze the effects of changing land use on water quality. Previously identified land use changes
include but are not limited to grazing, conservation/preservation, recreational trails, timber harvest,
vineyard establishment. The county has jurisdiction over approving land use changes in privately
owned lands in the watershed. Changes to the surface of the land and how land is used are being
modeled to understand if and quantify how that may affect drinking water quality. It is anticipated
that future land use to be simulated will be provided by the County in GIS format. The stated GIS
layers of existing and potential vineyard development and existing septic systems are known
layers, as are land areas that have conservation easements over previously grazed surfaces. The
model shall incorporate data that exists and make assumptions and correlations for future
anticipated land use changes based on actual data from similar land uses. Stakeholder interviews
will further define the extent of data that is already available and identify data to be gathered. All
model parameters will be held constant except land cover/land use, which will be modified to
reflect the predicted future condition. In addition, future climate change conditions based on
available work performed locally will be incorporated into model scenarios. The results of the data
acquisition, model calibration, and model application will be presented in a technical
memorandum.
Where applicable, output from the watershed models (tributary flow and concentrations,
future climate change conditions) will be used to inform activities and assist in developing
recommendations
Task 1.2 Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Watershed Model (software, GIS layers, databases and all input files)
• Draft and Final Watershed Modeling TM1 clearly defining assumptions, inputs and
discussion of sensitivity analyses (electronic deliverables)
If desired by the City and County, the following optional tasks (not in this scope) may be
performed:
• Run additional model scenarios.
• Run the model for future climate change conditions
• Activate the reservoir simulation. Calibrate the reservoir models.
• Link the watershed models with external reservoir WQ models.
Task 2 – Project Management, Meetings, and Coordination
Consultant shall provide project oversight and contract management. In addition to a kickoff
meeting, a one-day site visit shall be conducted early in the project. Up to 12 one-hour conference
calls will be scheduled to update the City and County on progress and receive input. The Kick-off
Meeting will be held at the City’s offices and include in person attendance from lead team
members. The meeting will be used to review and discuss the scope of the project and approach,
data available, and set project objectives. A one-day field visit with the core team shall be
conducted at a later date but will be calendared during the schedule review at the kick-off meeting
so the appropriate City and County staff can be involved. Anticipated topics for joint meetings are
outlined below:

Item #:5.L.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Steve Potter, Police Chief
Prepared By: Patrick Manzer, Police Captain
TITLE:
Animal and Licensing Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving Amendment No. 6 to Agreement No. 8350 with the County of Napa, to
obtain Animal and Licensing Services, in the amount of $287,864 for fiscal year 2017/2018, $302,257
for fiscal year 2018/2019 and $317,370 for fiscal year 2019/2020.
DISCUSSION:
In 2003, the City entered into Agreement No. 8350 by which the County of Napa provides animal and
licensing services to the City. The Agreement has been regularly extended for continued services.
The City and County recently concluded negotiations for such services for fiscal years 2017/2018 in
the amount of $287,864, 2018/2019 in the amount of $302,257 and 2019/2020 in the amount of
$317,370. This amendment represents an increase of eleven-point eight percent (11.8%) from fiscal
year 2016/2017, and then a five percent increase for each fiscal year thereafter in the cost of animal
and licensing services. The added costs reflect increases in animal control officer benefits and
overall operating costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The increased cost for services has been calculated into proposed (2017/2018 and 2018/2019) two
(2) year budget. The final year will be factored into the first year of the next two (2) year budget
cycle.
CEQA:
The Chief of Police has determined that the Recommended Action described in this agenda report is
not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c).

TITLE:
Junior Unit Initiative Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the establishment and funding of a Junior Unit Initiative Program, to
provide loans to construct junior accessory dwelling units to facilitate new low-income housing.
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
In March 2017, both in response to recent changes to State Law and to further facilitate the creation
of second units, the City adopted the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance to allow the creation of both
accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (Junior Units). Junior Units are
created by carving out a separate apartment not more than 500 square feet in size from one or more
bedrooms within an existing single-family home. Junior Units may have a separate bathroom or may
share the bathroom with the primary single-family home, and they are not required to contain full
kitchens but rather may include efficiency kitchens with a small sink, food preparation counter and
cooking appliance such as a microwave. Conversely, ADUs are separate, independent dwelling
units with a full kitchen and bathroom that may be completely detached from the primary single-family
home, attached to the single-family home by an addition, or located within the existing single-family
home. The proposed Junior Unit Initiative Program focuses on the creation of Junior Units rather
than on the more expensive ADUs.
Last year, the City of Napa was selected as one of 50 midsized cities across the United States to
participate in the Invest Health Initiative. Invest Health is a collaboration between the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation and the Reinvestment Fund to improve the health of communities by bringing
together community leaders to develop new partnerships and innovative solutions to community
issues. The proposed Program can be considered a pilot for a larger effort the City and County are
working on as part of the Invest Health Initiative. As part of this initiative, the City and its partners
(e.g., County Health and Human Services and Queen of the Valley Medical Group) have been
exploring ways to expand the affordable housing supply in Napa. The Napa Invest Health team

believes expanding the supply of Junior Units offers a unique solution to addressing housing needs in
the community. If the Junior Unit Initiative Program successful, it could serve as a pilot for a larger
program to encourage Junior Units throughout Napa County.
Junior Units can be created for much less than it costs to create traditional housing units or even
ADUs constructed as detached units or as an addition to the primary single-family structures.
Although stand-alone apartments, these units are generally smaller at not more than 500 square feet
and include an efficiency kitchen (also referred to as a European kitchen), a private, locking entrance,
and a private bathroom or access to a bathroom in the primary single-family home. Often
soundproofing is added to help ensure privacy for both the Junior Unit and the primary home. The
cost to create these units can range generally from $10,000 to $40,000.
Creating Junior Units provides existing homeowners with additional income which helps make
homeownership more affordable. It also can expand the supply of affordable rental properties in
Napa. These units provide additional benefits to the community such as allowing seniors to age in
place and decreasing their risk of social isolation.
Junior Units are often referred to as “flexible housing” because they can adapt to a homeowner’s
changing needs over time. For example, when a young couple buys a home and creates a Junior
Unit, the rental unit provides them with extra income to help offset their mortgage costs. As the
family grows, the Junior Unit can be reabsorbed back into the primary unit, allowing the family to use
the entire house for their family’s needs. Later, after their children grow up and leave home, the
couple can move into the Junior Unit and rent out the main residence, providing them with extra
income to supplement their retirement.
Proposed Program
To implement the proposed Junior Unit Initiative Program (the “Program”), the City would contract
with non-profit Lilypad Homes. Lilypad Homes has been active in promoting the creation of Junior
Units both in Marin County and statewide. Under the proposed contract, Lilypad Homes would
provide homeowners in Napa with feasibility assessments to determine how Junior Units could be
created within their owner-occupied single-family homes. This service would be available to any
interested Napa homeowner with a single-family home that does not otherwise contained an ADU on
the property. A homeowner who agreed to install a Junior Unit in their home and rent either the
primary home or the Junior Unit to a low-income tenant would be eligible to receive free of costs
schematic design and construction estimates for creating the unit. If after receiving the design and
estimates, the homeowner proceeded with creating the unit through the proposed Program, the City
would also provide the homeowner with construction management services and an interest-free,
forgivable loan of up to $40,000 to create the Junior Unit. Additionally, if the homeowner agreed to
making ADA improvements to the rental unit, the City would provide the homeowner with a grant for
up to $5,000 for the cost of these improvements. Under the proposed terms of the Program’s
financing, for every year a unit was rented to a low-income tenant the City would forgive 5% of the
loan. If at any time, the homeowner decided to stop participation in the Program, the forgiveness
would stop and the homeowner would have one year to repay the remaining loan balance in full.

File #:951-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:6.A.
Under the proposed Program, the City would encourage homeowners to utilize the services of a
professional property management company and utilize Napa Valley Community Housing’s Home
Sharing Program to identify pre-screened tenants for the units. The City would host workshops for
homeowners to provide information on various topics such as fair housing regulations, landlord roles
and responsibilities, financial implications of renting out property, and related issues.
Under the proposed Program, the City would utilize general funds designated in the City’s budget for
affordable housing. The budget would include up to $392,500 for loans and grants to homeowners,
$47,500 for Lilypad Homes for services to homeowners and to provide workshops, and $10,000 for
Housing staff to provide construction management and other related services to participating
homeowners. It is estimated that at least 50 homeowners would receive feasibility assessments and
15 homeowners would receive loans through the Program over the next year.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Approval of this action would allocate $350,000 from the General Fund for FY2016-2017 and
$100,000 from FY2017-2018 which have been budgeted for affordable housing (49723-55002
JLHSGJRUNITS-55002). Of the combined $450,000 in budgeted funds, $392,500 would be for
grants and loans, $47,500 for contract services for Lilypad to administer the program, and $10,000
for staff time to oversee the program.
CEQA:
The Community Development Director has determined that the Recommended Action described in
this Agenda Report is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15060(c).

Prepared By: Rosa N. Corona, Assistant Engineer
TITLE:
Downtown Public Restroom Installations at two City Parking Lots: (1) East of Main Street between
First and Second Streets, and (2) Southeast Corner of Pearl and West Streets
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to approve a contract with Exeloo
Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $350,000, to purchase two automatic public toilets;
authorizing a budget re-programming of $110,000; determining that the purchase of the automatic
public toilets meets the requirements for acquisition of a specialty item as set forth in Napa Municipal
Code Section 2.91.050; and determining that the actions authorized by this resolution are exempt
from CEQA.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Napa has embraced its unique, colorful and historically significant downtown core and is
continuing to draw residents and visitors from around the region and the world. A goal of the City is
to provide a higher level of service to the community and visitors who are using the downtown parks
and public spaces.
City staff has been working to meet this goal by implementing Capital Improvement Project
MS17PR01, Downtown Restrooms. This project will provide clean, safe and accessible restrooms in
convenient locations for visitors both in the Veteran’s Park region and within the vicinity of the Oxbow
Bypass. Automatic Public Toilets (APT) are proposed to be installed at two public parking lot
locations; the lot located on the east side of Main Street between First and Second Streets just north
of Downtown Joe’s (Main Street Lot), and the lot located at the southeast corner of the Pearl and
West Streets, the former location of City’s Parks and Rec Building (Pearl/West Lot).
Unlike port-a-potties and standard block constructed restrooms, APT’s have a minimal footprint,
provide ADA accessibility, are relatively easy to install and relocate, while providing a functional
design with intelligent features. They provide an automated wash down system that washes the unit
down with disinfectant and water sprays after use, then dries the surfaces with high pressure fans
before becoming available for the next user. APT systems also have electric door operation that can
be set to lock the units at night and open them again at a preset time in the morning. With the

automated system, a large amount of statistical data is available and is routed to a remote monitoring
system providing information for optimal and efficient operation by City staff.
The current challenge with implementation of this project is two-fold; where to best place the APT in
the Main Street lot due to site constraints and financial limitations in the current budget. The site
constraints at the Main Street lot are largely driven by its proximity to the Napa River Flood Project.
The original project assumed the new APT would replace the port-a-potties currently located at the
eastern edge of the parking lot. However, federal regulations and the Army Corps of Engineers
require a 15-foot wide zone clear of all permanent structures or obstructions to provide access for
flood-fighting in the event of an emergency. The port-a-potties are considered portable and easily
removed in this event, the APT would be fixed and not readily removed in the same instance.
Additionally, this location has become an attractive nuisance to nefarious behavior due to the setback
from the public right-of-way. Finally, the infrastructure will need to be installed to the APT location
with this original location being the furthest run for water, sanitary sewer and electrical lines.
To address these concerns, staff is proposing the APT be located within the existing planter island
adjacent to and facing the sidewalk on Main Street. This location is well outside the floodwall clear
zone, is adjacent to the well-travelled right-of-way and greatly reduces the length needed to install
necessary utilities. A further benefit, this location will not affect or remove any off-street parking
stalls. A site plan and graphic will be provided at the Council meeting.
The Pearl/West Lot does not have the same site challenges. The APT is proposed to be located
along the West Street frontage also adjacent to and facing the sidewalk. In anticipation of this
installation, City forces kept the existing sewer, water, and electrical utilities previously serving the
Parks and Recreation Department building so they may serve the APT installation. A site plan and
graphic will also be provided at the Council meeting.
The financial limitations with the current capital project budget (Downtown Restroom MS17PR01) are
as follows: The existing budget balance is +/-$330,000. The APTs will cost $173,801 each, including
sales tax. Engineering, Site/Utility Work & Inspection at the Main Street Lot, in the proposed
sidewalk adjacent location, is estimated to be $59,475. Engineering, Site/Utility Work & Inspection at
the Pearl/West Lot is estimated to be $32,305. The grand total being $439,382 leaving a projected
project budget deficit of $109,382.
The project discussed in this staff report is the Downtown Restroom CIP MS17PR01 which has the
budget deficit. The upcoming two-year CIP budget contains funds for four additional public
restrooms, Alston Park, Westwood Hills Park, Triangle Park and
Riverside Park (CIP PK18PR02) with a total budget of $1,075,000 ($175,000 programmed for FY18
and $300,000 for each FY20, FY21, and FY22). Staff is requesting that the Downtown Restroom CIP
MS17PR01 project budget be increased by $110,000 in 2017/18, with the understanding that the
planned FY20 budget for Alston Park, Westwood Hills Park, Triangle Park and Riverside Park (CIP
PK18PR02)in FY20 will be reduced by $110,000 down to $190,000.
If Council concurs with this strategy, staff is seeking to acquire two APT’s from the Exeloo
Corporation via the “specialty item” procurement process based on the following logic. City staff

contacted three APT companies: Hering International, LLC, The Portland Loo and Exeloo
Corporation. City staff reviewed the available APTs of each company and evaluated how each might
satisfy the City’s needs. Specifically, City staff is seeking a unit that was low in maintenance and
cost, could be easily relocated, provides two single-occupancy cabins to accommodate high
demands, and provide remote monitoring as an option. The following table provides a quick
reference comparing the three manufacturers and how Exeloo Corporation would be a potential
candidate to sole source.

X X X

Exeloo Corporation X X X X
As shown on the table, Exeloo Corporation can provide an APT that satisfies the City’s needs. The
ability to relocate the unit with ease is essential as the Pearl/West Lot site is a temporary parking lot.
Future redevelopment of the site will necessitate the relocation of the facility. A written determination
supporting the sole source recommendation is included as Attachment 2.
The APT has been identified as a long lead-time item, with delivery times in the 3-month range. This
procurement will initiate the purchase of the APTs in advance of the site work and varied levels of
utility work necessary to prepare for the APT installation. Engineering staff is preparing the
necessary construction documents to let a contract for the site and utility work with the intent of
completing the site work during the APT lead time. The APT will become a City furnished item under
the construction contract for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Insufficient budget for procurement of the two APTs and the Engineering, Site/Utility Work &
Inspection within the existing Downtown Restroom project (MS17PR01).
To provide the additional needed funding, staff requests a $110,000 increase to MS17PR01’s FY18
Budget (30101-57601-MS17PR01-57403), with funds to come from the General Fund CIP Reserve.

relocated, provides two single-occupancy cabins to accommodate high demands and
provide remote monitoring as an option; and
WHEREAS, site and utility work is required to prepare the location for the APT
installation, the APT has been identified as a long lead-time item, with delivery times in
the 3-month range; and
WHEREAS, this procurement will initiate the purchase of the APT in advance of

EXCEPTION REQUEST FOR SPECIALTY ITEMS
Per NMC 2.91.050, the City may enter into a contract for a "specialty item," provided that the City
Manager makes a written determination of the following:
1. Project need which the City intends to satisfy through the contract for the specialty item.
Please provide a functional description (or performance criteria) of the City’s needs.
With increased development in the downtown area, the need to provide a higher level of service to
the community and visitors using the downtown parks and public spaces has increased. The
installation of an Automatic Public Toilet (APT) on Parking Lot X (previously occupied by
CineDome and the Parks and Recreation Department) will satisfy this need. This location is ideal
since the APT will be using existing sewer, water, and electrical hook-ups previously used by the
building housing the Parks and Recreation Department. Unlike, port-a-potties and standard block
constructed restrooms, the Exeloo Corporation APT proposed for installation has a minimal
footprint, is relatively easy to construct and relocate, and provides a solid, functional design with
intelligent features. A key feature is the unit’s remote monitoring capability which allows city staff
to monitor usage, toiletry needs and provides monthly reports to help make informed investment
decisions in the future.
2. The types of property or service which are available (or used by other similarly situated
private or public agencies) to meet this need (or similar needs), and the contractors which
are available to provide the property or service. Please provide documentation of the steps
the City has taken to evaluate the types of property, service, and contractors potentially
available to serve the City's needs.
Many metropolitan areas such as Seattle, Atlanta and Los Angeles have installed similar APTs to
meet the needs of their high-pedestrian-traffic areas. There are limited manufacturers and
distributors of APTs in the United States. City staff contacted three companies: Hering
International, LLC, The Portland Loo and Exeloo Corporation. City staff reviewed the APTs of
each company and evaluated how each company’s product would satisfy the City’s established
criteria and needs. Specifically, city staff is seeking a unit that was low in maintenance and cost,
could be easily relocated, provides two single-occupancy cabins to accommodate high demands
and provide remote monitoring as an option. The following table provides a quick reference of
how each product “scored”.

Exeloo Corporation X X X X
Exeloo Corporation meets all criteria established by the City.

Page 227 of 477
3. Please provide the reasons why a similar property or service cannot meet the City’s needs
(including considerations of compatibility with other City property and services regarding
maintenance, repair, training, quality, price, or similar considerations), or why the City's
needs can only be met by one unique or proprietary type of property or service (the
specialty item).
There are limited manufacturers of APTs in the United States. As shown on the previous Table,
Exeloo Corporation can provide the City with a unit that is low maintenance with single or double
cabins per unit, and the option of remote monitoring. The ability to relocate the unit with ease is
essential as the potential site for this unit is a temporary parking lot and will redevelop to a higher-
level use in the future thus necessitating the need to move the APT.
4. By entering into a contract for the specialty item from the proposed contractor, the City will
meet the purpose and goals identified in NMC Section 2.91.010.
5. The contract complies with the requirements of NMC Section 2.91.030 (B). YES NO

Sections 100 through 105, this Chapter establishes the parameters by which representatives of the
City may enter into contractual obligations on behalf of the City. It is the goal of the City that any
administrative regulations adopted to implement this Chapter, and any City contract, will meet the
following goals:

and any other waste of public funds or public property, and which also achieves an appropriate
balance between the costs and benefits of maximizing quality within available resources.
2. Takes into consideration all reasonably available relevant information regarding the range of
types, effectiveness, quality, and costs of potential property, services, public projects, and
contractors available to achieve the City's project goals. Depending upon the particular
requirements of the project (and the more particular procedures identified in this chapter), the
information to be considered may include data gathered from one or more of the following
sources: similar City projects, other public agencies, professional journals, private businesses,
outreach to potential contractors, and private businesses, competitive bids, formal or informal
quotes, proposals, or qualification statements.
3. Guards against favoritism, fraud, corruption, and conflicts of interest.
4. Efficiently uses City resources in the preparation, approval, administration, and enforcement of
contracts which are effective tools in achieving the City's goals.
NMC 2.91.030 B. Execution and administration of contracts

prior to final approval of the contract, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Chapter,
including: requesting proposals, inviting bids, applying for grants, and negotiating contract terms.
2. The City Manager is authorized to execute any contract on behalf of the City provided that: (a)
pursuant to City Charter Section 100, the contract is in writing and approved as to form by the
City Attorney; and (b) the contract is covered by sufficient unencumbered funds appropriated in
the adopted budget, and (to the extent required by City Charter Section 100) the contract is
endorsed by the City Auditor; and (c) the contract is prepared in accordance with all other
requirements of this Code and the administrative regulations; and (d) the contract is covered by
any one of the following categories: (i) the City Council has separately authorized the City
Manager to execute on behalf of the City pursuant to an ordinance, resolution, or other Council
action, or (ii) the City’s commitments under the contract are in an amount less than or equal to
the amount established by the Controller of the State of California for formal bidding procedures
as required by California Public Contract Code Sections 22020 and 22032(c) (as of January 1,
2009, this amount is established at $125,000), or (iii) the contract is necessary to resolve an
emergency pursuant to Section 2.91.040 of this Chapter or pursuant to Chapter 2.89 of this
Code. It shall be unlawful to split, or separate into smaller contracts, any contract for the purpose
of evading the dollar amounts identified in this chapter.
3. The City Manager is authorized to implement and enforce each contractor's compliance with
contract requirements, including inspections and acceptance of complete performance, and
termination of the contract, all in accordance with the requirements of the contract.

File #:960-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:7.A.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Rick Tooker, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Shari Cooper, Development Project Coordinator
TITLE:
Downtown Business Promotions Tax Area - 2018 Levy of Taxes
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution levying taxes in the Downtown Business Promotions Tax Area (DBPTA) for 2018
in accordance with Napa Municipal Code Chapter 3.28; and determining that the actions authorized
by this resolution are exempt from CEQA
DISCUSSION:
On June 6, 2017, the City Council approved the “2018 Annual Report and Budget for the Downtown
Business Promotions Tax” (DBPTA) and adopted a Resolution of Intention to hold a public hearing
on June 20, 2017 to levy the business license taxes. To implement the State of California Streets and
Highways Code Sections 36000, et seq., and per the terms of City Agreement 9354, “Napa
Downtown Association Agreement, Management of Assessment Districts,” a public hearing notice
has been published and posted to notify the public of the availability for review of all documents
relating to the improvements and activities of the Downtown Business Promotions Tax Area. The tax
rate is set by ordinance and provided for in the Napa Municipal Code Chapter 3.28 “Napa Parking &
Business Improvement District”: a promotional marketing tax equal to 40 percent of the business
license fee. This revenue is collected by the City and managed by the Napa Downtown Association
(NDA) for administrative and marketing purposes to benefit the businesses within the Downtown
Business Promotions Tax Area.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The recommended action results in no financial City obligation or impact to its General Fund, but
there are costs related to City staff time for financial accounting and preparation of staff reports and
resolutions. The DBPTA tax revenue, equal to 40 percent of the business license tax, is collected by
the Finance Department and remitted to the NDA monthly.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Recommended Action is exempt from
CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15323 (normal operation of facilities for public
gatherings).

includes outdoor venues (up to three stages) in public parks. This event
does not require any City street closures and a minimum amount of vendors
will be brought in for the event. Because the event was so successful, the
NDA plans to host the event three different months (June, September, and

Prepared By: Shari Cooper, Development Project Coordinator
TITLE:
Oxbow Business Promotions Assessment Area - 2018 Levy of Assessments
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution levying assessments in the Oxbow Business Promotions Assessment Area for
2018 in accordance with Napa Municipal Code Chapter 3.29, and determining that the actions
authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA.
DISCUSSION:
On June 6, 2017, the City Council approved the “2018 Annual Report and Budget for the Oxbow
Business Promotions Assessment Area” (Oxbow BPAA), and adopted a Resolution of Intention to
hold a public hearing on June 20, 2017 to levy the business license assessments.
To implement the State of California Streets and Highways Code Sections 36500, et seq., and per
the terms of City Agreement 9354, “Napa Downtown Association Agreement, Management of
Assessment Districts,” a public hearing notice has been published and posted to notify the public of
the ability to review all documents relating to the improvements and activities of the Oxbow BPAA.
The assessment rate has been set by ordinance and provided for in the Napa Municipal Code
Chapter 3.29 “Oxbow Business Improvement Area”: a promotional marketing assessment equal to 40
percent of the business license fee. This revenue is collected by the City and managed by the Napa
Downtown Association (NDA) for administrative and marketing purposes to benefit the businesses
within the Oxbow BPAA.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The recommended action results in no financial City obligation or impact to its General Fund, but
there are costs related to City staff time for financial accounting and preparation of staff reports and
resolutions. The DBPTA tax revenue, equal to 40 percent of the business license tax, is collected by
the Finance Department and remitted to the NDA monthly.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Recommended Action is exempt from

TITLE:
Rezoning of property located on the west side of Soscol Avenue south of Sousa Lane.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt a resolution adopting a Negative Declaration for the Soscol Gasser Zoning Amendment;
and
2. Approve the first reading and introduction of an ordinance amending the Zoning Map established
under Section 17.04.050 of the Napa Municipal Code pertaining to the rezoning of property located at
459 and 473 Soscol Avenue from MP-G3, Tulocay Village, to CC, Community Commercial District.
DISCUSSION:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In January 2017, the Planning Commission approved the Soscol Gasser Parcel Map, an application
to subdivide three commercial parcels (totaling 7.3 acres) along the west side of Soscol Avenue into
four commercial parcels. This map has not yet completed the final map process through the Public
Works Department.
This application is requesting approval to rezone two of these parcels: 1) Parcel A is a 2.63 acre
parcel located on the south side of the new entry road that will serve the Vista Tulocay Apartments;
and 2) Parcel B a 2.03 acre parcel located on the north side of the entry road. The applicant is
requesting to rezone the parcels from the MP:G3, Gasser Master Plan Tulocay Place Zoning District
to the CC, Community Commercial Zoning District. The current zoning of Parcel A is MP-
G3:FP:SC:TI, Tulocay Place: Floodplain overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay
Zoning District. Parcel B is current split zoned, with the southern half of the property zoned MP-
G3:FP:SC:TI, Tulocay Place: Floodplain overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay
Zoning District, and the northern half of the property zoned CC:FP:SC:TI, Community Commercial:
Floodplain overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay Zoning District. The proposed
rezone applies only to the principal zoning designations and not the overlay zoning districts, which
will remain the same.
No new buildings or development are proposed in conjunction with this application.

Item #:7.C.
ZONING AMENDMENT
The project site is located within two zoning districts. Parcel A is located within the MP:G3 FP:SC:TI,
Gasser Master Plan Tulocay Place District: Floodplain: Soscol Corridor: Traffic Impact Zoning
Overlay District. The intent of the Tulocay Place District was to create community retail commercial
uses east of North Drive and community and neighborhood serving retail commercial uses west of
North Drive, providing a community entrance, focal point and gathering place, and residential and/or
mixed uses west of North Drive. When the Gasser Master Plan was approved, it was anticipated that
the Tulocay Place District could be developed with up to 80,000 square feet of retail commercial.
Parcel B is split zoned with the southern half of the property located within the MP:G3 FP:SC:TI,
Gasser Master Plan Tulocay Place District: Floodplain: Soscol Corridor: Traffic Impact Zoning
Overlay District and the northern half located within CC:FP:SC:TI, Community Commercial:
Floodplain: Soscol Corridor: Traffic Impact Zoning Overlay District.
The development standards (building height, setbacks, lot size) of the Tulocay Place District and the
Community Commercial Zoning District are essentially the same, with the principal difference being
the range of permitted and conditionally permitted land uses.
The proposed rezoning will not effect on future parking requirements since parking is calculated by
use and similar types of permitted retail uses under the CC have the same parking ratio (1 space per
each 250 square feet) as retail uses under the MP-G3 designation.
The Tulocay Place District does not list auto related sales as permitted or conditionally permitted
uses, and the proposed rezoning will allow the properties the opportunity to be developed with auto
sales related uses which is a conditional use in the Community Commercial Zoning District. Although
auto sales are a potential use of the properties, no specific building designs have been proposed for
this project at this point; however, the design of the future building or land use will be subject to
approval of a Discretionary Permit by the Community Development Department and/or the Planning
Commission.
It is noted that the rezoning would not result in any change to the development standards applicable
to the property, including density, floor area ratio, setbacks and height. This is because the
development standards for properties in the Specific Plan are based upon each property’s location
rather than its land use designation or zoning.
Traffic Impact Overlay
The Traffic Impact Overlay limits the traffic intensity of uses adjacent to the Soscol Avenue "crucial
corridor" and establishes development standards designed to minimize traffic conflicts. The proposed
rezoning will have no bearing on the application of the Traffic Impact Overlay as it will remain in
place.

Floodplain Overlay
The site is subject to the :FP, Floodplain Management Regulations, which require that the Floodplain
Administrator review all on-site improvements. As previously noted Parcels A and B contain a
“Flowage Easement” which is designed to allow overland stormwater to flow from Soscol Avenue into
the wetland area located to the west of the proposed parcels. The proposed parcels have been
designed in accordance with the requirements for non-residential construction in the floodplain zone.
The proposed rezoning will have no bearing on the application of the Floodplain Overlay as it will
remain in place.
A significant portion of the two properties is encumbered with a “Flowage Easement” which must
remain open to allow overland stormwater to flow from Soscol Avenue into the wetland area located
to the west of the proposed parcels. This easement significantly restricts the development
opportunities on these two parcels as the area within the easement cannot be developed with
buildings or other structures, and is generally planned to be developed with parking and or
landscaping so as not to impede the flow of stormwater.
Soscol Corridor Overlay
The proposed Rezoning does not include the construction of any new buildings or structures. As
such, the Rezoning application does not raise any concerns related to the aesthetic standards of the
Soscol Guidelines which will remain in place.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SUMMARY
On May 4, 2017, the Planning Commission considered the proposed project on the Consent
Calendar. There were no speakers on the project. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to forward a
recommendation to the City Council to approve the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
No direct financial impacts to the City have been identified with this application.
CEQA:

ORDINANCE O2017-__
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NAPA, STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ESTABLISHED
UNDER SECTION 17.04.050 OF THE NAPA MUNICIPAL CODE
PERTAINING TO THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 459
AND 473 SOSCOL AVENUE FROM MP-G3, TULOCAY VILLAGE
DISTRICT TO CC, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
WHEREAS, The Gasser Foundation submitted an application (PL17-0047) to
rezone the properties at 459 & 473 Soscol Avenue (APNs: 046-190-062, & 063) from
MU-G3, Tulocay Village to CC, Community commercial; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter,
as presented at the public meeting of the City Council identified herein, including any
supporting reports by City Staff, and any information provided during public meetings;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of Napa as
follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council hereby determines that the potential
environmental effects of “the Project” described in the Agenda Report presented to the
City Council at their _________, 2017 meeting, were adequately examined by the
Negative Declaration that was adopted by the City Council on ___________, 2017
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby makes the following findings:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent in principle with the General Plan.
The properties have a General Plan designation of CC-533, Community Commercial,
which provides for commercial uses serving the entire community, including retail and
service uses. The Community Commercial Zoning District was established to implement
the commercial land use category of the Community Commercial General Plan
designation. As such, the proposed zoning amendment is consistent with the General
Plan. Such consistency is specifically demonstrated in the record, including but not
limited to the analysis contained in the Staff Report and Initial Study.
2. The public health, safety and general welfare are served by the adoption of
the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment is in the public interest, since it is consistent with the
principles of the General Plan such as locating appropriate land uses within the
boundaries and urban limits of the City of Napa, which land uses are complementary to
the mix of uses within the city; and, because they are appropriate to its surroundings.
Page 260 of 477
ATTACHMENT 2
O2017-__Page 2 of 5 June 20, 2017
The subject properties are undeveloped and temporarily operating as construction
staging.
3. If a rezoning to a district with a larger minimum lot size is proposed,
effectively reducing the planned residential density, the City shall also find
that the remaining sites in the Housing Element are adequate to
accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need pursuant
to California Government Code section 65584; or if not, that it has identified
sufficient additional, adequate and available sites with an equal or greater
residential density in the jurisdiction so that there is no net loss of residential
unit capacity.
This finding is not applicable to this project because the project does not include any
proposal to increase a minimum lot size nor does it eliminate any site designated in the
Housing Element from future use as a housing site.
SECTION 3: Amendment. The boundaries of the Districts of the Zoning Map
established under Section 17.04.040(A) of the Napa Municipal Code are hereby
amended pursuant to Chapter 17.66 of such Code to re-designate the properties at 459
& 473 Soscol Avenue to CC, Community Commercial Zoning District as shown in
Exhibits "A1 & A2" attached hereto and made a part hereof. Exhibit "A1” reflects the
Zoning Districts as they exist prior to the effective date of this ordinance, and Exhibit
“A2" reflects the Amended Zoning Districts, as they will be after the effective date of this
ordinance.
SECTION 4: Severability. If any section, sub-section, subdivision, paragraph,
clause or phrase in this Ordinance, or any part thereof, is for any reason held to be invalid
or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections or
portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it
would have passed each section, sub-section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause
or phrase of this Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-
sections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases may be declared
invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5: Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30)
days following adoption.

II. HISTORY / PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In January 2017, the Planning Commission approved the Soscol Gasser Parcel Map, an
application to subdivide three commercial parcels (totaling 7.3 acres) along the west
side of Soscol Avenue into four commercial parcels. This map has not yet completed
the final map process through the Public Works Department.
This application is requesting approval to rezone two of these parcels: 1) Parcel A is a
2.63 acre parcel located on the south side of the new entry road that will serve the Vista
Tulocay Apartments; and 2) Parcel B a 2.03 acre parcel located on the north side of the
entry road. The applicant is requesting to rezone the parcels from the MP:G3, Gasser
Master Plan Tulocay Place Zoning District to the CC, Community Commercial Zoning
District. The current zoning of Parcel A is MP-G3:FP:SC:TI, Tulocay Place: Floodplain
overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay Zoning District. Parcel B is
current split zoned, with the southern half of the property zoned MP-G3:FP:SC:TI,
Tulocay Place: Floodplain overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay Zoning
District, and the northern half of the property zoned CC:FP:SC:TI, Community
Commercial: Floodplain overlay: Soscol Corridor overlay: Traffic Impact Overlay Zoning
District. The proposed rezone applies only to the principal zoning designations and not
the overlay zoning districts, which will remain the same.
No new buildings or development are proposed in conjunction with this application.
FIGURE 1 – PROPOSED REZONING MAP

ATTACHMENT 3
Page 2 of 6 Page 266 of 477
III. PROJECT CONTEXT
The two subject parcels are located on the west side of Soscol Avenue between the
Gasser Office Building to the south and the Hanlees Auto Dealership to the north. The
parcels are currently vacant, but up until two years ago were previously developed with
auto related commercial uses. These two parcels are the only properties on the west side
of Soscol Avenue in the immediate area that are not zoned CC.
IV. ANALYSIS
A. GENERAL PLAN
The properties have a General Plan designation of CC-533, Community Commercial,
which provides for commercial uses serving the entire community, including retail and
service uses. The General Plan suggests that CC areas be developed in shopping
center configurations or as infill commercial uses in established community commercial
areas. The proposed rezoning of the properties from the MP-G3, Gasser Master Plan
Tulocay Place District to the CC, Community Commercial Zoning District is consistent
with the CC General Plan designation.
The proposed rezoning will have no effect of the size of future buildings as the floor area
ratio (FAR) of 0.40 for POD CC-533 will remain unchanged.
B. Zoning
The project site is located within two zoning districts. Parcel A is located within the
MP:G3 FP:SC:TI, Gasser Master Plan Tulocay Place District: Floodplain: Soscol
Corridor: Traffic Impact Zoning Overlay District. The intent of the Tulocay Place District
was to create community retail commercial uses east of North Drive and community and
neighborhood serving retail commercial uses west of North Drive, providing a
community entrance, focal point and gathering place, and residential and/or mixed uses
west of North Drive. When the Gasser Master Plan was approved, it was anticipated
that the Tulocay Place District could be developed with up to 80,000 square feet of retail
commercial.
Parcel B is split zoned with the southern half of the property located within the MP:G3
FP:SC:TI, Gasser Master Plan Tulocay Place District: Floodplain: Soscol Corridor:
Traffic Impact Zoning Overlay District and the northern half located within CC:FP:SC:TI,
Community Commercial: Floodplain: Soscol Corridor: Traffic Impact Zoning Overlay
District.
The development standards (building height, setbacks, lot size) of the Tulocay Place
District and the Community Commercial Zoning District are essentially the same, with
the principal difference being the range of permitted and conditionally permitted land
uses.
The proposed rezoning will not effect on future parking requirements since parking is
calculated by use and similar types of permitted retail uses under the CC have the same
ATTACHMENT 3
Page 3 of 6 Page 267 of 477
parking ratio (1 space per each 250 square feet) as retail uses under the MP-G3
designation.
Figure 4 – Existing Zoning District Map
The Tulocay Place District does not list auto related sales as permitted or conditionally
permitted uses, and the proposed rezoning will allow the properties the opportunity to
be developed with auto sales related uses which is a conditional use in the Community
Commercial Zoning District. Although auto sales are a potential use of the properties,
no specific building designs have been proposed for this project at this point; however,
the design of the future building or land use will be subject to approval of a Discretionary
Permit by the Community Development Department and/or the Planning Commission.
It is noted that the rezoning would not result in any change to the development standards
applicable to the property, including density, floor area ratio, setbacks and height. This is
because the development standards for properties in the Specific Plan are based upon
each property’s location rather than its land use designation or zoning.
Traffic Impact Overlay
ATTACHMENT 3
Page 4 of 6 Page 268 of 477
The Traffic Impact Overlay limits the traffic intensity of uses adjacent to the Soscol
Avenue "crucial corridor" and establishes development standards designed to minimize
traffic conflicts. The proposed rezoning will have no bearing on the application of the
Traffic Impact Overlay as it will remain in place.
Floodplain Overlay
The site is subject to the :FP, Floodplain Management Regulations, which require that
the Floodplain Administrator review all on-site improvements. As previously noted
Parcels A and B contain a “Flowage Easement” which is designed to allow overland
stormwater to flow from Soscol Avenue into the wetland area located to the west of the
proposed parcels. The proposed parcels have been designed in accordance with the
requirements for non-residential construction in the floodplain zone. The proposed
rezoning will have no bearing on the application of the Floodplain Overlay as it will
remain in place.
A significant portion of the two properties is encumbered with a “Flowage Easement”
which must remain open to allow overland stormwater to flow from Soscol Avenue into
the wetland area located to the west of the proposed parcels. This easement
significantly restricts the development opportunities on these two parcels as the area
within the easement cannot be developed with buildings or other structures, and is
generally planned to be developed with parking and or landscaping so as not to impede
the flow of stormwater.
Soscol Corridor Overlay
The proposed Rezoning does not include the construction of any new buildings or
structures. As such, the Rezoning application does not raise any concerns related to the
aesthetic standards of the Soscol Guidelines which will remain in place.
C. DESIGN REVIEW
No specific building designs have been proposed for this project at this point; however,
the design of the future building will be subject to approval of a Design Review Permit by
the Community Development Department and/or Planning Commission to determine
compliance with the Soscol Avenue Design Guidelines.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Initial Study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study determined that the proposed project
would not have a significant impact on the environment (see Attachment 3). A Negative
Declaration has been prepared for adoption. The posting period of the proposed Negative
Declaration was April 17 through May 4, 2017. No comments have been received as of
the writing of this report.
V. REQUIRED FINDINGS
ATTACHMENT 3

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one
impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. This initial
study prescribes mitigation measures to reduce all potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level.
Aesthetics Agriculture & Forestry Resources Air Quality
Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology & Soils
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards & Hazardous Materials Hydrology & Water Quality
Land Use & Planning Mineral Resources Noise
Population & Housing Public Services Recreation
Transportation & Traffic Utilities & Service Systems Mandatory Findings of
Significance
CEQA DETERMINATION:
The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made or agreed to by the project
proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
The proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect: 1) has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards; and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect
is a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated.” An ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION
pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed
project, nothing further is required.
A Notice of Negative Declaration will be prepared and posted for the period of April
14, 2017 to May 4, 2017.

I. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic
highway?
X
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site
and its surroundings?
X
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the area?
X
Discussion: No construction is proposed as part of this amendment. The proposed Rezoning to change the land
use category for the subject property to better recognize the existing historical commercial use on the site, will not
have significant effects on a scenic vista, damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, substantially
degrade existing visual character or create new sources of light. The site is already paved and was previously
developed with auto related uses, with the existing views from Soscol Avenue and surrounding properties being
that of a developed commercial use.
Any subsequent development applications will need to address applicable General Plan policies and City design
guidelines that help implement the aesthetic policies in the General Plan.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: The project would not result in any negative impacts to aesthetics or affect the scenic attributes of
the surrounding area. No scenic resources will be impacted. The project will not introduce substantially more
exterior lighting than currently exists. The project will have no impact to aesthetics.
II. AGRICULTURAL & FOREST RESOURCES. Would the project:
a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
X
b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act
Contract?
X
c. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land,
timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production?
X
d. Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest
use?
X
e. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-
agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
X
Discussion: No construction is proposed as part of this amendment. The adoption of the proposed
amendment is an administrative action and policy determination and as such will not result in changes in the
environment. The amendment will not result in the loss or conversion of any Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland,
or Farmland of Statewide Importance. No land within the City of Napa is under a Williamson Act Contract. No
loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use will occur. Furthermore, the City’s Rural Urban
Limit (RUL) policy requires that all development take place with the RUL boundaries. Lands outside the RUL
boundaries are protected for agricultural uses. As such, the project will not result in the conversion of
agricultural farmland, conflict with land zoned for agricultural use or influence land under Williamson Act
contract.
Mitigation Measures: None.

following determinations] Would the project:
a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
X
b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
or projected air quality violation?
X
c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
X
d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X
e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X
Discussion: No construction is proposed as part of this amendment. The proposed Zoning Amendment will not
obstruct the implementation of BAAQMD plans, nor will it violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. As the subject properties are previously disturbed
and no new construction is proposed, the project not result in the cumulative net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment, expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, or create
objectionable odors. Any future development and resulting structures would be subject to the same design
review process that currently exists and impacts to sensitive receptors and the creation of objectionable odors
would be subject to subsequent environmental review and analyzed during the application process.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to air quality.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,
or by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS)?
X
b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies,
regulations or by the CDFG or USFWS?
X
c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited
to, marsh, vernal pool, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological
interruption, or other means?
X
d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or
migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery
sites?
X
e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
X
f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional,
or state habitat conservation plan?
X
Discussion: No construction is proposed as part of this amendment. Because the sites were previously
developed with commercial buildings and parking lots the project site has not been identified as habitat for

candidate, sensitive, or special status species. The site does not contain riparian habitat, wetlands, or sensitive
natural communities. No vegetation/trees will be removed in conjunction with this project. The proposed
Rezoning will recognize the historical commercial use of the site. The project will not result in any significant
changes to the development standards that are currently applicable to the property. Future redevelopment
projects will be subject to subsequent environmental review and will be evaluated for potential impacts to
biological resources.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to biological resources.
V. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical
resource as defined in Sec.15064.5?
X
b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to Sec. 15064.5?
X
c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or
unique geologic feature?
X
d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal
cemeteries?
X
Discussion: The project pertains to the use of existing undeveloped but previously disturbed properties and
therefore, there are no physical changes to structures. Future redevelopment projects will be subject to
subsequent environmental review and will be evaluated for potential impacts to cultural resources.
Mitigation Measures: None
Conclusion: No impact to cultural resources.
VI. GEOLOGY & SOILS. Would the project:
a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury or death involving
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most
recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by
the State Geologist for the area, or based on other substantial
evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and
Geology Special Pub. 42
X
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? X
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? X
iv) Landslides? X
b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X
c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would
become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or
off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse)?
X
d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1B of the Uniform
Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
X
e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of waste water?
X
Discussion: The project pertains to the Rezoning of an undeveloped, but previously disturbed properties and as
such will not result in any direct changes in the environment. As with most of the San Francisco Bay Area, various
sites throughout the City would be subject to ground shaking in the event of a regional earthquake. However, the

rezoning of an existing commercial property would not increase the potential to expose more people to strong
seismic ground shaking, ground failure, or landslides. Any future construction would be subject to environmental
review associated with new development entitlement approvals.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to geology and soils.
VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project:
a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that
may have a significant impact on the environment?
X
b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the
purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
X
Discussion: The project will not cause an increase in cumulative greenhouse gas emissions nor will it conflict
with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purposes of reducing greenhouse gases. Any
future structures and uses would be subject to the application review process that currently exists.
Mitigation Measures: None
Conclusion: No impact to greenhouse gas emissions.
VIII. HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project:
a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routing transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
X
b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the
release of hazardous materials into the environment?
X
c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or
proposed school?
X
d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a
result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment?
X
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project
area?
X
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project
area?
X
g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
X
h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving wild land fires, including where wild lands are adjacent to
urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wild lands?
X
Discussion: No construction is proposed as part of this amendment. If a future development project is
proposed, it will be evaluated for its impacts with regards to hazards and hazardous materials. The uses
allowed within the CL land use designation do not typically involve routine transport, handling or disposal of
hazardous materials or emit hazardous emissions. The project site is not within airport land use plan
boundaries. The change in land use designation will have no impact to any emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan. The project site is not listed as a hazardous materials site, is not within airport land
use plan boundaries, and is not adjacent to wild lands.
Mitigation Measures: None.

IX. HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY. Would the project:
a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? X
b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the
production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits
have been granted?
X
c Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a
manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-
site?
X
d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or
substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner
which would result in flooding on- or off-site?
X
e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of
existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff?
X
f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X
g. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a
federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other
flood hazard delineation map?
X
h. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede
or redirect flood flows?
X
i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee
or dam?
X
j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X
Discussion: As the project pertains to existing undeveloped but previously disturbed properties, this project will
not introduce new impervious surfaces which may change the rate of absorption of drainage and surface water
run-off. Any future development of the property would be subject to environmental review associated with new
development entitlement approvals. Since the property is not in a location that would be affected by seiches or
tsunamis, the project would not be subject to these phenomena. All projects in the City are connected to City
water supplies, thus will not affect any nearby wells.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impacts to hydrology and water quality.
X. LAND USE & PLANNING. Would the project:
a. Physically divide an established community? X
b. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or resolution of an
agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the
general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance)
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect?
X
c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan?
X
Discussion: The proposed Rezoning will be consistent with the zoning of adjacent to properties to the north

and south of the site; therefore, the request will not divide an established community. The Rezone would not
conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans. The project is
requesting a change to the land use and zoning change to a designation which allows the development of auto
sale related sues with the approval of a Use Permit. With the approval of the requested Rezoning, and
subsequent Use Permit, the project would not conflict with Zoning Ordinance’s land use and development
standards.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impacts to land use & planning.
XI. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would
be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
X
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource
recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other
land use plan?
X
Discussion: There are no known or documented mineral resource sites affected by the project, and mitigation
measures are not required.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impacts to mineral resources.
XII. NOISE. Would the project result in:
a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of
standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or
applicable standards of other agencies??
X
b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne
vibration or ground borne noise levels?
X
c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project
X
d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
X
e. For a project located within an airport land use plan, would the project
expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
X
Discussion: The Rezoning of the parcels from one type of commercial use to another type of commercial use in
an established commercial area would not expose people to noise levels in excess of General Plan standards or
create substantial increases in background noise levels above existing levels. The project site is not within an
airport land use plan area. Any future construction would be subject to environmental review associated with
new development entitlement approvals.
Mitigation Measures: None
Conclusion: No impact to Noise.
XIII. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for
example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads and other infrastructure)?
X
b. Displacing substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
X
c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?

Discussion: The project will not significantly impact population and housing. The project sites are
undeveloped and have been historically operating as auto related uses.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No significant impact to Population and Housing.
XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project:
a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for
new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to
maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance
objectives for any of the public services including:
X
i) Fire Protection? X
ii) Police Protection? X
iii) Schools? X
iv) Parks? X
v) Other Public Facilities? X
Discussion: Adequate fire and police protection, and other facilities are available to serve the project. The
project does not propose any new construction.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to public services.
XV. RECREATION. Would the project:
a. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and
regional parks or other recreational facilities such that a substantial
physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
X
b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction
or expansion or recreational facilities which might have an adverse
physical effect on the environment?
X
Discussion: This project will not significantly impact the existing parks and recreational facilities that are
primarily located and designed to serve the local population. The Parks and Recreation element of the General
Plan does not identify this area of the City as underserved with parks or recreation facilities and it is not
anticipated that this project will require any new facilities.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to recreation.
XVI. TRANSPORTATION & TRAFFIC. Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing
traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial
increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity
ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)?
X
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
X
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in
traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety
risks?
X
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersection) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?

X
Discussion: The project will not substantially increase traffic hazards. The Rezoning will not generate a
substantial increase in traffic as the properties have been recently used for auto related uses.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: No impact to Transportation and Traffic.
XVII. UTILITIES & SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional
Water Quality Control Board? X
b. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental effects?
X
c. Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which
could cause significant environmental effects?
X
d. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements
needed?
X
e. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which
serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve
the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing
commitments?
X
f. Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate
the project’s solid waste disposal needs? X
g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to
solid waste? X
Discussion: The subject site is undeveloped and no new construction is proposed as part of the project. The
project will not impact utilities and service systems, and special mitigation measures are not required. Any future
construction would be subject to environmental review associated with new development entitlement approvals.
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: The sites have previously been developed as commercial uses and the rezoning will not alter or
worsen existing conditions.
XVIII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate
a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
No
b. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in conjunction with
the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects and the effects of probable future projects.)
No
c. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly? No

Prepared By: Brian Cochran, Finance Director
TITLE:
City of Napa FY 2017-18 and 2018-19 Budget Adoption
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolutions approving and adopting the Budget for the Fiscal Years 2017-18 and 2018-19; and
approving the City-Wide Position Staffing Plan.
DISCUSSION:
On June 6, 2017, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing to receive public comment on the
Proposed Budget for fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The City Council reviewed the proposed
budget in detail at that meeting. The Proposed Budget for Fiscal Years 2017-18 and 2018-19
provides the City of Napa’s financial plan for City activities and programs for the next two years
beginning July 1, 2017. The budget explains the City’s organizational structure, includes basic
program descriptions and provides an overview of the City’s finances and related budget priorities,
and includes recommended changes to the City’s spending and staffing plans. The goal of this
budget is to balance the need to be responsive in providing services to residents, businesses and
visitors in our community with the need to operate within the limitation of available resources. The
budget document includes the budgets for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Internal
Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, the Successor Agency to the Napa Community Redevelopment
Agency, the Housing Authority of the City of Napa and the Capital Improvement Program.
During the June 6, 2017 Public Hearing, public comment on the budget was received and discussion
by Council members resulted in no requested amendments to the budget as proposed. However,
staff has become aware of several clean-up items over the past few weeks since the Public Hearing,
and staff is proposing to incorporate these minor modifications (presented in Attachment 3) into the
adopted budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The total budget including all funds is $229.6 million for Fiscal Year 2017-18 and $225.5 million for
Fiscal Year 2018-19. The total General Fund operating budget is $89.1 million for Fiscal Year 2017-
18 and represents a ten percent increase in spending compared to the Fiscal Year 2016-17 adjusted
budget. For Fiscal Year 2018-19, the General Fund budget is proposed to increase by seven percent
to $95.4 million. Details for all other funds are included in the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Years 2017

WHEREAS, the City Manager recommends, by adoption of this resolution, that
the City Council reallocate 12 positions (from one classification to a different

Staff Report
955 School Street
Napa, CA 94559
www.cityofnapa.org
File #:946-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:8.B.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Jacques R. LaRochelle, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Tim Wood, Sr. Civil Engineer
TITLE:
Community Facilities District 2017-1, Gasser Soscol Gateway
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt a Resolution Declaring the Intention to Establish Community Facilities District No. 2017-
1 Entitled "City of Napa Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway)";
and
2. Adopt a Resolution Declaring the Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness and Other Debt for
the “City of Napa Community Facilities District No 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway)”; and
3. Approve the first reading and introduction of an Ordinance Amending Napa Municipal Code Title 3
To Add a New Chapter 3.44 "Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act Taxes”
DISCUSSION:
Background.The Gasser Soscol Gateway area has been developing as a mixed-use development
for several years. For the next phases of development to proceed, several roadway and drainage
improvements are required, consistent with the conditions of approval for the Gasser Master Plan.
The Peter A. and Vernice H. Gasser Foundation (“Gasser Foundation”), developer of the next phases
of the development, has requested that the City form a community facilities district (a “CFD”) under
the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Mello-Roos Act”) to fund at least $15.5 million
of the costs for these improvements, which the Gasser Foundation will construct.
In general terms, the boundaries of the proposed CFD are described in Attachment 3, Exhibit C,
generally including parcels in and around the Gasser Master Plan boundaries, north of Imola Avenue,
and west of Soscol Avenue. Property owners of the parcels within the proposed CFD (the Gasser
Foundation, and Palmetto Hospitality of Napa, LLC) have petitioned the City to form the CFD, as
shown on the petitions shown in Attachments 1 and 2. If the proposed CFD is approved by property
owners of two-thirds of the area within the CFD boundaries, and approved by the City Council, the
CFD will authorize the establishment of a special tax imposed on the parcels within the CFD. The
CFD tax will generate revenue to support the issuance of bonds, to finance the construction of the
public facilities described in Attachment 3, Exhibit A.
Legal Authority to Establish a CFD. As identified above, the CFD is proposed to be formed and
implemented under the Mello-Roos Act, which is codified in California Government Code Sections
53311 through 53368.3. City Charter Sections 4 and 88 authorize the City to adopt an ordinance to
CITY OF NAPA Printed on 6/15/2017Page 1 of 4

Page 301 of 477
File #:946-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:8.B.
53311 through 53368.3. City Charter Sections 4 and 88 authorize the City to adopt an ordinance to
establish a system for the levy and collection of taxes in a manner authorized by State law.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance (Attachment 5) to allow the
City to avail itself of the special tax proceedings under the Mello-Roos Act.
Formation of CFD 2017-1.The Resolution of Intention to Establish CFD 2017-1 for the Gasser
Soscol Gateway (the “Resolution of Intention to Establish”) is included as Attachment 3 to this staff
report, and it includes: (1) a description of the public improvements to be funded by CFD 2017-1
(Exhibit A), (2) the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax, which establishes the
maximum special tax rates for property in CFD 2017-1 (“Rate and Method”) (Exhibit B) and (3) a
boundary map for the proposed CFD 2017-1 (Exhibit C).
The Resolution of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness and Other Debt for CFD 2017-1 for the
Gasser Soscol Gateway (the “Resolution of Intention - Debt”) is included as Attachment 4, and it
declares the City Council’s intent to issue bonds and other debt for CFD 2017-1 in a principal amount
not to exceed $21 million. The bonds and other debt will be payable only from special taxes levied in
CFD 2017-1.
The resolutions of intention call for public hearings to be held on September 5, 2017. If, after holding
the public hearings, the City Council decides to proceed with formation of CFD 2017-1 and
authorization of bonds for CFD 2017-1, it will hold an election of the landowners in CFD 2017-1, who
are the qualified electors under the Mello-Roos Act.
If the City establishes CFD 2017-1, it will be authorized to levy a special tax on 23 parcels within the
Soscol Gateway area. Of these parcels, 19 are already developed. Of the developed parcels, all are
owned by the Gasser Foundation except for the Hampton Inn (which is owned by Palmetto
Hospitality of Napa, LLC). The four undeveloped parcels are owned by the Gasser Foundation as
well.
Proposed tax structure for CFD 2017-1. The Rate and Method authorizes the City to levy a maximum
annual tax on taxable parcels of $35,562 per acre.
Maximum Term of Special Taxes.The Resolution of Intention to Establish CFD 2017-1 provides that
special taxes may not be levied on taxable parcels after fiscal year 2057-58, a period of 40 years.
Overall tax burden on parcel owners.The combined special taxes on all taxable parcels within CFD
2017-1 are estimated to generate over $1.3 million in revenue per year. From this amount, the City
may receive $25,000 for administrative expenses related to CFD 2017-1.
Use of bond proceeds and reimbursements to the Gasser Foundation. Using conservative
assumptions, the City's finance team estimates that the proposed CFD 2017-1 will generate
approximately $15.5 million to reimburse the Gasser Foundation for construction of public
infrastructure. Bond proceeds will also be used to pay costs of issuing the bonds and fund a debt
service reserve fund.
Consistency with City's existing Goals and Policies for CFDs.The Mello-Roos Act requires public
agencies that wish to initiate formation of a CFD to consider and adopt local goals and policies

agencies that wish to initiate formation of a CFD to consider and adopt local goals and policies
concerning the use of the Mello-Roos Act that contain certain require elements. On April 18, 2017,
the City adopted Local Goals and Policies for CFDs formed by the City (the “Goals and Policies”).
The Goals and Policies cover the topics required by the Mello-Roos Act, including the tax structure of
CFDs, the facilities to be funded by CFDs, and credit issues regarding the issuance of special tax
bonds for CFDs.
The tax structure and the facilities to be funded by CFD 2017-1 are consistent with the Goals and
Policies and the Mello-Roos Act.
NEXT STEPS IN CFD 2017-1 FORMATION
The second reading of the Ordinance will take place at the July 18, 2017 City Council meeting.
The City Council will hold public hearings regarding the formation of CFD 2017-1 and the issuance of
bonds and other debt for CFD 2017-1 on September 5, 2017.
After the hearing, the Council will consider resolutions forming CFD 2017-1 and calling an election of
the qualified landowner electors in CFD 2017-1. The qualified landowner electors will be asked to
vote on the levy of the special tax pursuant to the Rate and Method, the issuance of the bonds and
other debt and the establishment of an appropriations limit for CFD 2017-1.
If the qualified landowner electors approve the levy of the special tax and the issuance of the bonds
(a favorable vote of at least two-thirds of those voting is required, with each landowner receiving one
vote for each acre and portion of an acre owned by it in CFD 2017-1), then the Council will consider
introduction of an ordinance levying the special tax in CFD 2017-1.
It is also expected that the Council will be presented on September 5 with an acquisition agreement
between the City and the Gasser Foundation. The purpose of the agreement is to establish the
process by which the City will accept public infrastructure constructed by the Gasser Foundation and
reimburse Gasser Foundation for the related construction costs with proceeds of bonds issued for
CFD 2017-1 and special tax revenues.
Finally, also on September 5, the City will be asked to approve the issuance of bonds for CFD 2017-1
and related bond documents. It is anticipated that the City will file a judicial validation action in the
Superior Court of the County of Napa to confirm the validity of CFD 2017-1, the CFD 2017-1 special
taxes and the bonds to be issued for CFD 2017-1. Consequently, the City's finance team expects the
CFD 2017-1 bonds to be issued in January 2018. The final bond documents, including the disclosure
document to be distributed by the underwriter of the bonds to potential investors, will be presented for
Council approval towards the end of calendar year 2017.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution of Intention to Establish and the
Resolution of Intention - Debt.
Staff also recommends that the City Council introduce the Ordinance.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The obligation to pay special taxes for CFD 2017-1 is an obligation of the property within CFD 2017-
1. The special taxes do not constitute a personal obligation of the landowner. The City has no
obligation to pay the special taxes if they are not paid by landowners in CFD 2017-1. The special
taxes are secured by a lien on the taxable parcels within CFD 2017-1.
When bonds are issued for CFD 2017-1, debt service will be secured solely by a pledge of the
special taxes on parcels within CFD 2017-1. The City has no obligation to pay debt service on the
bonds from funds other than the special taxes and moneys in the debt service reserve fund for the
bonds. In connection with the issuance of the bonds for CFD 2017-1, the City will agree to initiate
judicial foreclosure against parcels that are delinquent in the payment of special taxes. The costs
associated with the foreclosure are payable from the special taxes. Extremely high rates of
delinquencies could impact the City’s general fund if special taxes were insufficient to pay for the
City's foreclosure costs. However, the City’s general fund can be reimbursed from foreclosure sale
proceeds, when available.
The City is responsible for administering the levy of the special taxes for CFD 2017-1, and will be
reimbursed for its time and expenses with annual special tax revenues.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS
INTENTION TO ESTABLISH A COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT ENTITLED “CITY OF NAPA COMMUNITY
FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2017-1 (GASSER SOSCOL
GATEWAY)”
WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended
(the “Act”), Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing at Section 53311,
of the California Government Code, the City Council is authorized to establish a
community facilities district and to act as the legislative body for a community facilities
district; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, having received a petition from the owners of not
less than 10% of the area of land proposed to be included in the proposed community
facilities district, concludes that is necessary and now desires to proceed with the
establishment of a community facilities district in order to finance costs of public
infrastructure necessary or incident to development within the proposed boundaries of
the proposed community facilities district; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Napa,
as follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this
Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s
adoption of this Resolution.
2. The City Council proposes to conduct proceedings to establish a community
facilities district pursuant to the Act.
3. The City Council proposes to name the community facilities district: “City of
Napa Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway)” (the “CFD”).
4. The City Council proposes and preliminarily approves boundaries of the
CFD as shown on the map of the Proposed Boundaries of the CFD, as shown on Exhibit
C attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein. The City Council hereby directs the
City Clerk to record, or cause to be recorded, the map of the boundaries of the CFD in
the office of the Recorder of Napa County within 15 days of the date of adoption of this
Resolution.
5. The City Council proposes the type of public facilities listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein (the “Facilities”) for financing by the CFD.
The City Council hereby determines that the Facilities are necessary to meet increased
demands placed upon local agencies as the result of development occurring within the
Page 313 of 477
ATTACHMENT 3
R2017-__Page 2 of 7 June 20, 2017
CFD. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the public interest will not be
served by allowing the property owners in the CFD to enter into a contract in accordance
with Section 53329.5(a) of the Act. The City Council declares that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City Council, on behalf of CFD, may enter into one or more contracts
directly with any of the property owners with respect to the construction and/or acquisition
of the any portion of the Facilities.
The City Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to enter into joint
community facilities agreements with any entity that will own or operate any of the
Facilities, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 53316.2(a) and
(b) of the Act. The City Council hereby declares that such joint agreements will be
beneficial to owners of property in the area of the CFD.
6. The City Council hereby declares its intention, except to the extent that
funds are otherwise available, to levy a special tax (the “Special Tax”) to pay directly for
the Facilities and/or pay the principal and interest on bonds and other debt (as defined in
the Act) of the City issued to finance the Facilities. The Special Tax will be secured by
recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the CFD, levied
annually within the CFD, and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, or in such other manner as the City Council or its designee shall
determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. The City Council hereby
declares that the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax among
the parcels of real property within the CFD in sufficient detail to allow each landowner
within the proposed CFD to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have to pay,
are described in Exhibit B attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein (the “Rate and
Method”).
The City Council hereby declares that the Special Tax to finance Facilities to be
levied in the CFD shall not be levied in the CFD after the fiscal year specified in the Rate
and Method, except that a Special Tax installment that was lawfully levied in or before the
final tax year and that remains delinquent may be collected in subsequent years. Under
no circumstances shall the Special Tax levied against any parcel in the CFD used for
private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by
the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the CFD by more than 10 percent.
The City Council hereby finds that the provisions of Section 53313.6, 53313.7 and
53313.9 of the Act (relating to adjustments to ad valorem property taxes and schools
financed by a community facilities district) are inapplicable to the proposed CFD.
7. The City Council hereby declares its intent that, except as may otherwise
be provided by law or by the Rate and Method, all lands owned by any public entity,
including the United States, the State of California and/or the City, or any departments or
political subdivisions thereof, shall be omitted from the levy of the Special Tax to be made
to cover the costs and expenses of the Facilities and the CFD. The City Council hereby
declares its intent that, in the event that a portion of the property within the CFD shall
become for any reason exempt, wholly or in part, from the levy of the Special Tax, the
Page 314 of 477
ATTACHMENT 3
R2017-__Page 3 of 7 June 20, 2017
City Council will, on behalf of the CFD, increase the levy to the extent necessary upon
the remaining property within the CFD which is not exempt in order to yield the required
debt service payments and other annual expenses of the CFD, if any, subject to the
provisions of the Rate and Method.
8. The City Council hereby declares its intention that the levy of the Special
Tax shall be subject to the approval of the qualified electors of the CFD at a special
election, and that the proposed voting procedure shall be by mailed or hand-delivered
ballot among the landowners in the proposed CFD, with each owner having one vote for
each acre or portion of an acre such owner owns in the CFD.
9. The City Council hereby declares its intention that, acting as the legislative
body for the CFD, to cause bonds and other debt (as defined in the Act) of the City to be
issued for the CFD in one or more series pursuant to the Act to finance in whole or in part
the construction and/or acquisition of the Facilities. The bonds and other debt shall be in
the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,000,000, shall be issued in such
series and bear interest payable semi-annually or in such other manner as the City
Council shall determine, at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate of interest as may be
authorized by applicable law at the time of sale of such bonds, and shall mature not to
exceed 40 years from the date of the issuance thereof.
10. The City Council hereby directs the City's Director of Public Works, as the
officer having charge and control of the Facilities in and for the CFD, or the designee of
such officer, to study said proposed Facilities and to make, or cause to be made, and file
with the City Clerk a report in writing (the “CFD Report”) presenting the following:
(a) A description of the Facilities by type which will be required to adequately
meet the needs of the CFD.
(b) An estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of the Facilities including the
cost of acquisition of lands, rights-of-way and easements, any physical facilities
required in conjunction therewith and incidental expenses in connection therewith,
including the costs of the proposed bond financing and all other related costs as
provided in Section 53345.3 of the Act.
The City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to make the CFD Report a part of
the record of the public hearing specified below.
11. The City Council hereby appoints and fixes Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at
3:30 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter, in the Council Chambers, 955 School St.,
Napa, CA 94559, as the time and place when and where the City Council, as legislative
body for the CFD, will conduct a public hearing on the establishment of the CFD and
consider and finally determine whether the public interest, convenience and necessity
require the formation of the CFD and the levy of the Special Tax.

13. The City Council reserves to itself the right and authority set forth in Section
53344.1 of the Act related to the tender of bonds, subject to any limitations set forth in
any bond resolution or trust indenture related to the issuance of bonds.
14. Section 53314.9 of the Act provides that, either before or after formation of
the CFD, the City may accept work in-kind from any source, including, but not limited to,
private persons or private entities, may provide, by resolution, for the use of that work in-
kind for any authorized purpose and the City Council may enter into an agreement (an
“Acquisition Agreement”), by resolution, with the person or entity advancing the work in-
kind, to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work
in-kind, as determined by the City Council, with or without interest, under the conditions
specified in the Act. Any work in-kind must be performed or constructed as if the work
had been performed or constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the
authority of, the City. The City and The Peter A. and Vernice H. Gasser Foundation, a
California corporation intend to enter into an Acquisition Agreement.
15. The City Council authorizes and directs the City Manager, the Finance
Director, the City Clerk and all other officers and agents of the City to take all actions
necessary or advisable to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Resolution.
16. The City Council hereby declares that its adoption of this Resolution shall
in no way obligate the City Council of the City to form the CFD, and that the formation of

holding of the public hearing referred to above.
17. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2017-18 and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD
Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax
as follows:
1. On July 1 of each year coordinate with the Napa County Assessor’s Office to
determine if the Taxable Properties of the prior Fiscal Year are valid Assessor’s
Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. If the Assessor’s Parcels of the prior Fiscal
Year are valid Assessor’s Parcels proceed to Step “3” below;
2. If some or all of the Taxable Properties of the prior Fiscal Year are invalid
Assessor’s Parcels for the current Fiscal Year, prorate the Maximum Special Tax
for each invalid Assessor’s Parcel to the newly created Taxable Property based on
their Acreage for the current Fiscal Year showing the Maximum Special Tax for
each valid Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property;
3. The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for
Developed Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement;
4. If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor’s Parcel of UndevelopedProperty at up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property as needed to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement;
5. If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first four steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association
Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner
Association Property; and
6. If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first five steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of TaxablePublic Property at up to 100%
of the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Public Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Special Tax levied against
any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private
residential use has been issued be increased by more than 10% as a consequence of
delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 2017-
1.

E. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are
owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by the
State of California, Federal or other local governments, including school districts,
(excluding all property leased by a public agency to a private entity and subject to taxation
under Section 53340.1 of the Act), (ii) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements
making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement,
or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication,
encumbered by or restricted in use by a property owners' association.
Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel
as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to
less than 36.56 Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property
because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than
36.56 Acres will be classified as Taxable Public Property or Taxable Property Owners’
Association Property, and will be subject to Special Taxes commencing with step five in
Section D.
At such time, an Assessor’s Parcel must be classified as Taxable Public Property or Taxable
Property Owners’ Association Property, the following hierarchy shall be used to determine
which Assessor’s Parcel will be taxed to ensure that the Taxable Property is not less than
36.56 acres:
First, an Assessor’s Parcel as designated in (iii) above
Second, an Assessor’s Parcel as designated in (ii) above
Third, an Assessor’s Parcel as designated in (i) above
No Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel that has had its Special Tax
obligation prepaid in full pursuant to Section H.
F. APPEALS
Any property owner claiming that the amount or application of the Special Tax is not
correct and requesting a refund may file a written notice of appeal and refund to that effect
with the CFD Administrator not later than one calendar year after having paid the Special
Tax that is disputed. The CFD Administrator shall promptly review the appeal, and if
necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the
amount of the Special Tax, and decide the appeal. If the CFD Administrator's decision
requires the Special Tax be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash
refund shall not be made (except for the last year of levy), but an adjustment shall be made
to the next Special Tax levy. Any dispute over the decision of the CFD Administrator shall
be referred to an administrative hearing before a hearing officer in accordance with Napa
Municipal Code Chapter 1.26 and the decision of the hearing officer shall be final. This
Page 325 of 477

City of Napa June 6, 2017
CFD No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway) Page 7
procedure shall be exclusive and its exhaustion by any property owner shall be a condition
precedent to any legal action by such owner.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the City may directly bill the Special Tax
and may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to
meet its financial obligations.
H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax may be prepaid as described below.
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
"CFD Public Facilities Capacity"is equal to $15.5 million.
"Construction Fund" means a fund or account, however denominated, specifically
identified in the Indenture to hold funds which are available for expenditure to acquire or
construct public facilities eligible for financing by CFD No. 2017-1 under the Act,
including funds resulting from the levy of Special Taxes to pay directly for the acquisition
or construction of authorized facilities.
"Future Facilities Costs"means, as of any date, the CFD Public Facilities Capacity minus
(i) public facility costs previously paid from the Construction Fund, (ii) moneys currently
on deposit in the Construction Fund, and (iii) moneys currently on deposit in an escrow
fund that are expected to be available to finance public facilities costs. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the City makes a covenant for the benefit of the owners of Bonds, that no
additional Bonds (other than refunding Bonds issued under the Act) payable from the
Special Tax will be issued by CFD No. 2017-1, the Future Facilities Costs shall be reduced
to $0.
"Outstanding Bonds"means, for purposes of this Section H, all Bonds which are deemed
to be outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date
following the current Fiscal Year.
"Reserve Fund"means each fund established under an Indenture as a reserve for the
payment of principal of, and interest and any premium on, the Bonds.

1. Developed Property
A. Prepayment in Full
The Special Tax on any Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may be
prepaid and permanently satisfied. The Special Tax obligation applicable
to such Assessor's Parcel in CFD No. 2017-1 may be fully prepaid and the
obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's
Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel
intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the CFD
Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the Prepayment Amount (defined below) for such Assessor's
Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing
this calculation.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be
calculated as follows:
Steps:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s
Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, compute the
Maximum Special Tax applicable for the Assessor’s Parcel to be
prepaid.
Page 327 of 477
EXHIBIT B TO ATTACHMENT 3
City of Napa June 6, 2017
CFD No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway) Page 9
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 2 by
the total estimated Maximum Special Tax for all current Developed
Property, and
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 3 by the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to
be paid or redeemed (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step
4 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding
Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 3 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 6 to compute the amount of Future
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond
Redemption Amount from the first bond interest payment date
following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date
for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the
current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably
expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount
less the Future Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and
Expenses from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for
the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 8 and 9 and subtract
the amount computed pursuant to Step 10 (the "Defeasance
Amount").
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of No. 2017-1,
including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to
invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and
the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and
the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the
lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the Reserve Requirement, if
any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a
result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting
the new Reserve Requirement in effect after the redemption of
Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance
Page 328 of 477
EXHIBIT B TO ATTACHMENT 3
City of Napa June 6, 2017
CFD No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway) Page 10
in the Reserve Fund established under the Indenture on the
prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to Steps 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amount
computed pursuant to Step 13 (the "Prepayment Amount").
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to
Steps 4, 5, 11, and 13 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund or
account as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem
Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments thereon. The
amount computed pursuant to Step 7 shall be deposited into the
Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 12 shall
be retained by CFD No. 2017-1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000
increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral
multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund or account
established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption of
Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as
determined under Step 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the
current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for such Assessor’s Parcel from the
County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel on which the Special
Tax is prepaid and permanently satisfied pursuant hereto, the City shall
cause a notice of cancellation of special tax lien to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment and permanent
satisfaction of such Special Tax and the cancellation of the Special Tax lien
on such Assessor’s Parcel.
B. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax on any Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may be
partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in
Section H.1.A, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated
according to the following formula:
PP = (PE – A) × F + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to
Section H.1.A
Page 329 of 477
EXHIBIT B TO ATTACHMENT 3
City of Napa June 6, 2017
CFD No. 2017-1 (Gasser Soscol Gateway) Page 11
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's
Parcel is partially prepaying the Maximum
Special Tax
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses according
to Section H.1.A
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to partially prepay the Special
Tax obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with (i) written notice
of intent to partially prepay and (ii) the percentage of the Special Tax to be
prepaid. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the partial Prepayment Amount
for such Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this calculation.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, CFD No.
2017-1 shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section
H.1.A. and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2017-1 that there has
been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax and that a portion of the
Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining
Maximum Special Tax shall continue to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel
pursuant to Section D.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property for a period
not to exceed forty years from the Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is first
classified as Developed Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing no Special Tax shall be
levied after Fiscal Year 2057-58.

Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so,
how many?
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
Identification, evaluation and protection of the history of Napa. I am particularly interested in cultural
landscape and the native American presence in the Valley and identifying ways to educate the public on
those resources that may go unnoticed by the citizens of Napa. I do quite a bit of public outreach in my
current position and I recognize the importance of including the public through educational programs. I am
also interested in preserving the architectural heritage of the City. Napa has so much architectural
character, I would like to do my part to preserve and protect the resources.
What activities of this board are least interesting to you?
None
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented?
i would like to find more ways to foster appreciation of the landscapes, locations and resources by the
public. If the public is aware of these resources, they will undoubtedly take a more active role in their
protection.
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)?
Outreach to schools, civic organizations, historical societies and tribes to foster pride in the City and it's
citizens.
Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if

Page 351 of 477
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
The C of A process has always been the most rewarding and challenging. When able to engage in a
dialog with applicants to best reach a compromise that is both appropriate and thoughtful while at the
same time acceptable for the Applicant, the City and the surrounding neighborhood / environs is what
continues to interest me to serve the City and the Council.
What activities of this board are least interesting to you?
Once again I will need to say that the training for Brown Act is the least "stimulating" part of being a
Commissioner. However, I know that this continues to be an important training that will always add some
new thoughts on how to appropriately engage in dialog with other commissioners as well as with other
members and organizations in our community.
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented?
1) I want to finish the process of creating a sustainable Historic Signage Program for the City of Napa. We
are so close to implementing the now created and approved signage package for the only local City of
Napa Historic district, Calistoga. I want to work with the Council in addition to all professionals necessary
to see this signage package get fabricated and installed in Calistoga Historic District. 2) I would like to
continue this momentum with the signage program in the Calistoga District and work to make the Napa
Abajo Fuller Park the next local Historic District. It is already a Federal Historic District. Once this is
appointed, then work towards getting the signage package fabricated and installed in this district. 3) I have
a great desire to work with Council and the CHC to look towards nominating some of the more significant
potential Historic Districts to become actual Historic Districts. The City with huge support from the
preservation community and other neighborhood leaders has already spent a great deal of money in the
thorough Page and Turnbull Historic Context Statement document for the City of Napa. This report has
already named and prioritized potential Historic Districts. Before this document is outdated and the state
may require a new one, the CHC should work with council to see these professional recommendations
become a reality to name some of the Districts that are closer to our downtown core. With the great
growth in our City, these districts are a "marketing treasure" to entice even more visitors to the City of
Napa. 4) I would like to see if the CHC will be able to find a place to reuse the large beautiful stones that
were a part of the historic bridge over the Napa Creek. Perhaps they could be used in some capacity in
some of the many projects that are coming to the City of Napa. If not used now, then at least create a
planned thought to come out of "retirement!"
Sarah L Van Giesen Page 3 of 4
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 13 of 17
Page 352 of 477
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)?
1) Continue to work with city staff to find the fabricators for the signs and monuments. Will also work with
Public Works to find the appropriate locations for the signs in a tasteful amount of locations. 2) Work with
the neighborhood of Napa Abjao Fuller Park, local Preservation leaders, the City Staff and SHPO to
create the most streamline process to nominate the District into a Local Historic District. We would hold
some Public Meetings to inform the neighborhood of the nomination process. 3) For nomination of the
potential districts, again work with the neighborhoods, the City staff, SHPO and the consultant that
created the Historic Context Statement, Page and Turbull. 4) For the large "mothballed" bridge stones,
see if any local developers, such as those working on Stone Brewery, could use them in their
landscaping. Remind the Planning Commission that these large stones are STILL available for use and
perhaps they could recommend the use of them to some applicants. Work with the City of Napa Parks
and Recreation Commission to hear their thoughts on possible reuse in the redesign of Kennedy Park.
Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if

Prepared By: Lark Ferrell, Housing Manager
TITLE:
Stoddard West Apartments Project Loan
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving a loan from the City of Napa Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund in the
amount of $1,000,000 to Burbank Housing Development Corporation for Stoddard West Apartments
Project.
DISCUSSION:
Burbank Housing Development Corporation (BHDC) is proposing to develop Stoddard West
Apartments Project, an affordable rental project (the “Project”) which would be located on Gasser
Drive north of the South Napa Market Place along Tulocay Creek. The Project would include 49
units affordable to lower income households and one unrestricted manager’s unit. Rents in the
Project would be well below market and generally affordable to households earning 30% to 60% of
area median. The Project would include 15 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units, and 15 three-
bedroom units.
BHDC is an experienced non-profit housing developer based in Sonoma County. BHDC was
established in 1980 and has successfully developed, owned, and operated over 3,600 units of
affordable housing. It has developed numerous types of housing including both multifamily rental
housing, farmworker rental housing, special needs housing, and mutual self-help (sweat equity)
ownership housing. It currently manages over 2,900 units of affordable housing in Sonoma and
Napa Counties.
BHDC has requested a $1,000,000 loan from the City’s Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund for the
development of the Project. In May 2017, the City approved amending the CDBG Annual Action
Plan to award BHDC $2,000,000 in CDBG funding to acquire the land from the Gasser Foundation
for the Project. BHDC is proposing to leverage the City loans with a $2,000,000 loan from the
County, $2,000,000 from the Napa Valley Community Foundation, $1,500,000 from the Gasser
Foundation, a $3,204,000 conventional mortgage loan, and $10,410,000 in tax credit equity.
Additionally, Gasser Foundation would donate approximately $650,000 in previously completed
predevelopment work to the Project. BHDC has also submitted a request to the Housing Authority of
the City of Napa for eight project-based vouchers for the Project. This request is on the Housing

Item #:17.A.
the City of Napa for eight project-based vouchers for the Project. This request is on the Housing
Authority’s June 20, 2017 agenda.
BHDC intends to submit a 9% tax credit application in the June rounds. BHDC believes this round is
likely to be the Project’s best opportunity to secure these valuable tax credits. BHDC has provided
staff a detailed analysis documenting that in recent 9% tax credit rounds, successful applications for
the East Bay Region (which includes Napa) have had significantly higher per unit local subsidies than
elsewhere in the State. Because the tax credit scoring uses local funding as a tie breaker, all new
construction 9% tax credit projects funded in the East Bay Region since 2014 have been located in
Alameda County, a much more urban county which has many more resources to invest into
affordable housing projects. Alameda County voters recently passed a housing bond measure which
will soon bring even more housing resources into their community.
Because of this, BHDC has worked very aggressively and strategically to put together a financing
plan that maximizes the Project’s chance of receiving an award in the June 2017 tax credit round.
This means that while the amount of local government per unit subsidy of $100,000 is slightly higher
than for other recent affordable projects in Napa which all relied on 4% tax credits, the Project’s
financing has been structured in order to maximize the Project’s chances of a successful 9% tax
credit application. If the Project’s 9% tax credit application is approved, it is anticipated the project
would be fully funded and ready to break ground in the March 2018. The Project was recently
approved by Planning Commission and its final approval of its entitlements is also scheduled on City
Council’s June 20th meeting.
In order to meet the June 9% tax credit application deadline, the loan approval is being made prior to
finalizing the loan documents. However, the loan terms would be based on the City and County joint
underwriting guidelines. These guidelines were approved by the City Council in July 2010. In
accordance with these guidelines, the City’s loan would be at 3% simple interest with a 55-year term.
It would be payable from residual receipts. As a condition of the loan, the City would record 55-year
affordability restrictions against the Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This item has no impact to the General Fund. However, it would result in the commitment of funds
for a $1,000,000 loan in the City’s Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund (22201-58608).
CEQA:
City staff recommends that the City Council determine the potential environmental effects of the
Project were adequately examined by the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted for the Gasser
Master Plan (File No. 02-0134), certified December 12, 2006, and the Addendum that was prepared
in conjunction with the Vista Tulocay Apartments (File No. PL13-0139), adopted August 16, 2016.
The Gasser Master Plan EIR and the Addendum are on file in the Office of the City Clerk, and are
incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines Section 15162 which stipulates that where an environmental impact report has previously
been prepared on a project, no additional CEQA review is required for subsequent approvals unless
there are new significant environmental impacts which were not addressed in the previous EIR. Staff
recommends the City Council determine (1) there is no substantial change to the project that involves
new significant environmental effects or an increase in the severity of a previously identified

Item #:18.A.
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
From:Rick Tooker, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Karlo Felix, Senior Planner
TITLE:
Stoddard West 50-unit multi-family apartments on a 2.37 acre site on Gasser Drive Extension at
Tulocay Creek.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving a Use Permit and Design Review Permit for Stoddard West, a 50-unit
multi-family development on a 2.37 acre property located at the property identified as Assessor
Parcel Number 004-081-012, and determining that the actions authorized by this resolution were
adequately analyzed by previous CEQA actions.
DISCUSSION:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant requests approval to develop a 2.37-acre parcel located of the west-side of the Gasser
Drive Extension adjacent to Tulocay Creek into a 50-unit apartment complex. This project would be a
joint venture between The Gasser Foundation and Burbank Housing to provide affordable housing.
The project will consist of a three- and four-story building that will provide a mix of 15 one-bedroom,
20 two-bedroom, and 15 three-bedroom units. All proposed units will be income-restricted and
managed by Burbank Housing. Proposed amenities include a community room, bicycle room,
playground, and community garden area. Parking for the proposed development will include 100 off-
street parking spaces within a combination of carports and open parking spaces.
GENERAL PLAN
The property is located within the MU-532, Mixed Use General Plan Designation, which provides for
a functionally integrated mix of retail commercial, office, light manufacturing, and higher density
residential uses between 20 to 40 units per acre. The 50 units on this 2.37-acre site result in a
project density of 21 units per acre which is consistent with the density range of the MU-532
Designation. Analysis of how the proposal is supported by General Plan goals and policies can be
found in Subsection IV.A of Attachment 2.

File #:878-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:18.A.
ZONING
The project site is located within the Creekside District of the Gasser Master Plan. Multi-family
residential uses are a conditional use subject to approval of a Use Permit, and may be incorporated
at a density of 10-40 units/acre if the overall PM peak-hour trip generation for the entire Gasser
Master Plan District is not exceeded (as analyzed in the Gasser Master Plan Draft EIR), and other
zoning standards are met. In calculating the trip generation from the proposed 50-unit development,
the Public Works Department has determined that the proposed development does not exceed the
overall PM peak-hour trip generation requirement. As provided in the analysis of the revised traffic
demand, residential peak hour traffic is lower than the traffic assigned to the site when assumed to
be non-residential spaces such as office use.
The Creekside District does not require a rear or side yard setback, and with its location on the west-
side of Gasser Drive the buildings are intended to be located/oriented to take advantage of wetland
and Tulocay Creek views. The proposed building is located adjacent to the required setback limits of
Tulocay Creek and the wetland area consistent with the Gasser Master Plan. The proposed
landscape areas exceed the minimum 20% landscape area requirement for the project site. The
proposed building is consistent with the Creekside Development Standards regarding setbacks,
yards and required landscape area. The proposed building will have a maximum height of 42 feet,
which is well within the 48-foot maximum height of the Creekside District.
PARKING
The parking layout plan prepared for the development provides a total of 100 spaces, consisting of
51 carport spaces and 49 uncovered spaces. The development is required to provide a total of 50
covered parking spaces; 51 covered spaces have been proposed, which satisfies the covered
parking requirement. Additionally, because the development will be on a street which will not provide
on-street parking, the proposed development has been designed with a guest parking ratio of one
space per two units, which satisfies the parking space requirements identified above. The guest
parking spaces will be distributed throughout the proposed development.
The Applicant requests a Use Permit for 12 tandem parking spaces that will be located within the
driveways leading to a carport. These tandem parking spaces are located outside of the drive aisle
and would typically be used only by a resident or guest of the corresponding unit.
DESIGN REVIEW
The proposed development includes 50 living units within a new three- to four-story building. The
new building is designed in the shape of an “L” with a landscape courtyard to be developed on the
inside of the “L.” The building will be located along the southern end of the triangular shaped property
with the parking located to the east and north of the proposed building.
The residential building essentially consists of a combination of three- and four-story walk-ups. The
fourth-floor elements are proposed on the longer portion of the building to provide a varying roof
height and building plane which break up the perceived bulk of the building. The residential building

Page 381 of 477
File #:878-2017 Date:6/20/2017
Item #:18.A.
has been designed with a common vocabulary of forms and architectural elements. The exterior
finish of the buildings is predominantly stucco with corrugated metal siding elements in a variety of
unique color schemes. The proposed building features metal railing on balconies with composition
roofing shingles. The units feature windows that are aligned with each other and other building
elements to provide a harmonious appearance. The change in roof forms and varying wall planes
present interesting elevations that are not overly repetitive.
Additional analysis of the project’s design can be found in Subsection IV.F of Attachment 2.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
On May 18, 2017 the Planning Commission considered the proposed project. The Commission
received testimony from two persons who were supportive of the project given it is a well-designed
affordable housing development. During deliberations, several Commissioners stated their interest in
provided additional articulation at the windows on the south-side of the building. At the conclusion of
the hearing the Planning Commission voted 4-0-1 to forward a recommendation to the City Council
to approve the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
No direct financial impacts to the City have been identified with this application.
CEQA:
City staff recommends that City Council determine that the potential environmental effects of the
Recommended Action described in this staff report were adequately analyzed by the Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for the Gasser Master Plan (File No. 02-134), adopted December 12, 2006; and
the Addendum to the EIR for the Gasser Master Plan prepared for Vista Tulocay Apartments (File
No. PL13-0139), adopted August 16, 2016, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
The Applicant is seeking US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds to acquire
a long-term lease interest in the project site for the construction of the development. Pursuant to 24
CFR Part 58, grantees of HUD funds (i.e. the City) are required to comply with NEPA prior to the
obligation of those funds. While the proposed project does not obligate the funds, the requested
entitlements (Use Permit and Design Review Permit) are associated with the request to commit the
funds. The commitment of these funds is being reviewed by the City Council under a separate item at
this meeting.
Staff has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) which concluded that the proposed project
and the required mitigation measures identified in the 2006 EIR would not significantly affect the
quality of the human environmental. Therefore, Staff has prepared a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) which is included as Attachment 3 of this report.

WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter,
as presented at the public meetings of the City Council identified herein, including any
supporting reports by City Staff, and any information provided during public meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Napa as
follows:
Section 1. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to
this Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s
adoption of this Resolution.
Section 2. The City Council hereby determines that the potential environmental
effects of the Recommended Action described in the Staff Report were adequately
examined by the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted for the Gasser Master Plan
(File No. 02-0134), certified December 12, 2006, and the Addendum that was prepared
in conjunction with the Vista Tulocay Apartments (File No. PL13-0139), adopted August

R2017-_ Page 2 of 26 June 20, 2017
project is undertake that involves new significant environmental effects or an increase in
the severity of a previously identified significant effect; and (3) there is no new information
of substantial importance that shows the project will have a significant effect, significant
effects will be more severe, and mitigation measures that would reduce significant effects
are rejected by the Applicant. The project shall be subject to the mitigations incorporated
as conditions of approval identified in City Council Resolution R2006 193.
Section 3. The City Council hereby approves the Use Permit as defined on the
plans submitted as a part of the subject application and makes the following findings in
support of the approval:
A. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, applicable specific
plans, the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purposes of the
district and overlay district in which the site is located.
The property has a General Plan designation of MU, Mixed Use (MU-532),
which provides for higher density residential uses that are typically attached.
Residential densities shall range from 20 to 40 units per acre which would
allow between 47 to 94 units on this 2.37-acre site. The 50 units on this site
results in a project density of 21 units an acre which is consist with the
density range. Higher density residential are promoted and encouraged
adjacent to employment and neighborhood-serving commercial uses to
ensure the efficient use of land, public facilities and services.
Land Use Element Policy LU-3.4 seeks to “… provide for the efficient
development and redevelopment of land within the RUL in order to allow
job and housing growth…” The proposed 50-unit development provides for
an efficient housing development that will provide housing for lower income
levels on an underutilized parcel of land consistent with this policy.
Land Use Element Goal LU-4 seeks to “preserve and enhance the
residential character of existing neighborhoods and provide for new
residential development consistent with the city's character and urban
form.” The proposed development is located adjacent to Vista Tulocay, a
282-unit multi-family development. The proposed development is consistent
in character and urban form with Vista Tulocay consistent with this goal.
Land Use Element Policy LU-4.1 requires new residential density to
conform to the density range established in Table 1-4 of the General Plan.
The property is located within the MU-532 Designation which allows for
residential density ranges between 20 and 40 units per acre. The proposed
50-unit development has a project density of 21 units per acre which is
consistent with this density range.
Housing Element Policy H1.1 seeks to “promote creative and efficient use
of vacant and built on land within its RUL to help maintain the City’s pre-
Page 385 of 477
ATTACHMENT 1
R2017-_ Page 3 of 26 June 20, 2017
eminent agricultural environment and open space.” The proposed 50-unit
development provides an efficient housing development that will provide
housing for lower income levels on an underutilized parcel of land consistent
with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H1.2 requires that the City maintain an adequate
supply of land for all types to meet State-mandated housing needs within
the 2015-2023 Housing Element timeframe. The proposed 50-unit
development is consistent with the above policy in that it provides housing
units that will help meet the quantified housing needs for the City for
affordable rate housing units.
Housing Element Goal H-2 encourages the development of “a variety of
housing types and choices.” Housing Element Policy H2.2 also encourages
“an increased mix of various types of housing throughout the City to meet
community housing needs, provide greater housing choices, and improve
transportation choices.” The proposed development is a multi-family
development located in close proximity to services and transit. Furthermore,
it provides for income-restricted apartments with a mix of one-, two-, and
three-bedroom units that are currently in demand and needed to satisfy the
community housing needs consistent with this goal and policy.
Housing Element Policy H2.1 requires that the City “continue to support and
encourage new affordable housing projects.” The City has given priority to
the processing of this application which provides for the construction of a
100% affordable on-site housing units consistent with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H2.9 states the “City shall consider redesignation
of additional appropriate sites to Multi-Family Land Use categories as
needed throughout the City where opportunities are available.” The
proposed 50-unit development is an opportunity to provide this much-
needed land use on a property that is open and available and does not
displace or impact adjacent properties. It requires the approval of a Use
Permit to authorize a multi-family development on property that was
previously designated for a commercial type development, consistent with
this policy.
Housing Element Policy H2.14 states the “City shall assure that affordable
housing provided through density bonuses, and other programs or
incentives remain affordable long-term consistent with State law.” The 50
rental units will remain affordable for residents for a period of time,
consistent with the land lease term of 75 years, consistent with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H3.1 seeks to “assure high quality, well-designed
housing that respects the surrounding neighborhood, and provide for a
greater variety of housing options to meet community needs.” The Housing
Page 386 of 477
ATTACHMENT 1
R2017-_ Page 4 of 26 June 20, 2017
Element also encourages the efficient use of land and that make every effort
to approve well-designed projects consistent with General Plan densities.
This project appears consistent with both of these policy goals, as the
proposed development of 50 apartment units on the 2.37-acre site is
consistent with the General Plan density range. All of the units within the
development will be affordable to eligible low-income families. In addition,
the City has adopted Residential Design Guidelines to ensure that new infill
developments are compatible with existing neighborhoods.
There are no applicable specific plan design policies.
B. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity, or to the general welfare of the
City.
The proposed apartment development in the underdeveloped mixed use
area is not likely to result in any impacts that would be detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare. The proposed residential development will
not cause any health, safety, and/or general welfare hardship to the
community. The development has been designed to provide the equivalent
amount of parking as a multi-family rental development. Adequate guest
parking has been provided for guests visiting the complex, which is also
served with pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation connections.
Staff has circulated the application to other affected departments and
agencies; their comments and special conditions have been incorporated
to ensure the proposed development will not pose a nuisance to the
community.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Residential multi-family developments may be established with Use Permit
approval. The project is designed in compliance with the provisions and
development standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The project has been
appropriately conditioned to ensure compliance with General Plan policies
and property development standards and will not result in adverse impacts
to adjacent properties or to the general health, safety, and welfare of the
community. As analyzed in the staff report the project is in compliance with
the parking standards of Zoning Ordinance Section 17.54.110, and meets
all applicable standards of parking stall size, vehicle access and backing
movements.

282-unit multi-family development. The proposed development is consistent
in character and urban form with Vista Tulocay consistent with this goal.
Housing Element Policy H1.1 seeks to “promote creative and efficient use
of vacant and built on land within its RUL to help maintain the City’s pre-
eminent agricultural environment and open space.” The proposed 50-unit
development provides an efficient housing development that will provide
housing for lower income levels on an underutilized parcel of land consistent

There are no applicable specific plan design guidelines.
B. The project design is consistent with applicable Design Review Guidelines
adopted by the City Council.
The proposed site layout and architecture are consistent with the goals,
policies, and recommendations outlined within the Residential Design
Guidelines which encourage multi-family developments to be designed to
be respectful of the scale and rhythm of Napa’s traditional neighborhoods.
A mix of coherent forms, details, and materials are proposed to create a
contemporary development of homes that complement the neighborhood.
Parking is located on the periphery of the site, and the buildings are oriented
to frame a central courtyard for residents. Landscaping includes a mixture
of plantings and hardscape that defines public, semi-private, and private
spaces and creates opportunities for social interaction. The hierarchy of
fenestration treatment, detailing, and exterior wall materials provide visual
interest and reduce the overall perceived bulk and height. The proposed
elevations include three-dimensional elements that break up the wall
surfaces.
C. The Design Review permit is in accord with provisions of this Title and will
not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant requests approval to develop a 2.37-acre parcel located of the west-side
of the Gasser Drive Extension adjacent to Tulocay Creek into a 50-unit apartment
complex. This project would be a joint venture between The Gasser Foundation and
Burbank Housing to provide affordable housing. The project will consist of a three- and
four-story building that will provide a mix of 15 one-bedroom, 20 two-bedroom, and 15
three-bedroom units. All proposed units will be income-restricted and managed by
Burbank Housing. Proposed amenities include a community room, bicycle room,
playground, and community garden area. Parking for the proposed development will
include 100 off-street parking spaces within a combination of carports and open parking
spaces.
The project includes the following applications:
1. Use Permit to authorize a multi-family development and tandem parking for 24
parking spaces; and
2. Design Review Permit for a multi-family development.
FIGURE 1 – SITE PLAN
Vehicular access to the development will be from two driveways along the Gasser Drive
Extension. The one-bedroom units will range in size from 578 to 652 square feet (sq. ft.),
the two-bedroom will units range in size from 868 to 1,061 sq. ft., and the three-bedroom
units will be 1,131 sq. ft. Each unit is designed to include materials which minimize low
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Green Label wall-to-wall carpeting, formaldehyde-
free cabinets, and individual heating and air units. In addition, ultra-low-flow toilets would
be included in all the units. The building is designed to exceed Title 24 energy standards
and will incorporate Energy Star-rated appliances, energy efficient lighting, double-pane
windows, and energy efficient insulation.
III. CONTEXT
The project site is located within the Gasser Master Plan Creekside District, which is a
triangular area bisected by the Gasser Drive Extension and adjacent to protected
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 2 of 18 Page 411 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 3
wetlands and Tulocay Creek. The Creekside District is comprised of a 3.0-acre site on
the east-side of the Gasser Drive Extension and a 2.37-acre project site located on the
west side. The Creekside District was originally approved for up to 70,000 sq. ft. of
office/retail commercial uses, but does allow the development of residential uses provided
that anticipated traffic impacts, established by standards of the Gasser Master Plan, are
not exceeded. Off-street bicycle/pedestrian trail amenities are planned along Tulocay
Creek but there will be no trail on the west side of the parcel.
Figure 2 – Context Map
IV. ANALYSIS
A. GENERAL PLAN
The property is located within the MU-532, Mixed Use General Plan Designation, which
provides for a functionally integrated mix of retail commercial, office, light manufacturing,
and higher density residential uses that are typically attached. Residential densities shall
range from 20 to 40 units per acre, while densities up to 45 units per acre may be allowed
on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City.
The 50 units on this 2.37-acre site result in a project density of 21 units per acre which is
consistent with the density range of the MU-532 Designation. Higher density residential
uses (over 15 units/acre) are generally located nearest to thoroughfares, transit corridors
and community-serving commercial and public/quasi-public uses and are encouraged
adjacent to employment and neighborhood-serving commercial uses to ensure the
efficient use of land, public facilities, and services.
The proposal is consistent with this Designation and is supported by the following General
Plan goals and policies:
Land Use Element Policy LU-3.4 seeks to “… provide for the efficient development
and redevelopment of land within the RUL in order to allow job and housing growth…”
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 3 of 18 Page 412 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 4
The proposed 50-unit development provides for an efficient housing development that
will provide housing for lower income levels on an underutilized parcel of land
consistent with this policy.
Land Use Element Goal LU-4 seeks to “preserve and enhance the residential
character of existing neighborhoods and provide for new residential development
consistent with the city's character and urban form.” The proposed development is
located adjacent to Vista Tulocay, a 282-unit multi-family development. The proposed
development is consistent in character and urban form with Vista Tulocay consistent
with this goal.
Land Use Element Policy LU-4.1 requires new residential density to conform to the
density range established in Table 1-4 of the General Plan. The property is located
within the MU-532 Designation which allows for residential density ranges between
20 and 40 units per acre. The proposed 50-unit development has a project density of
21 units per acre which is consistent with this density range.
Housing Element Policy H1.1 seeks to “promote creative and efficient use of vacant
and built on land within its RUL to help maintain the City’s pre-eminent agricultural
environment and open space.” The proposed 50-unit development provides an
efficient housing development that will provide housing for lower income levels on an
underutilized parcel of land consistent with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H1.2 requires that the City maintain an adequate supply of
land for all types to meet State-mandated housing needs within the 2015-2023
Housing Element timeframe. The proposed 50-unit development is consistent with the
above policy in that it provides housing units that will help meet the quantified housing
needs for the City for affordable rate housing units.
Housing Element Goal H-2 encourages the development of “a variety of housing types
and choices.” Housing Element Policy H2.2 also encourages “an increased mix of
various types of housing throughout the City to meet community housing needs,
provide greater housing choices, and improve transportation choices.” The proposed
development is a multi-family development located in close proximity to services and
transit. Furthermore, it provides for income-restricted apartments with a mix of one-,
two-, and three-bedroom units that are currently in demand and needed to satisfy the
community housing needs consistent with this goal and policy.
Housing Element Policy H2.1 requires that the City “continue to support and
encourage new affordable housing projects.” The City has given priority to the
processing of this application which provides for the construction of a 100% affordable
on-site housing units consistent with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H2.9 states the “City shall consider redesignation of additional
appropriate sites to Multi-Family Land Use categories as needed throughout the City
where opportunities are available.” The proposed 50-unit development is an
opportunity to provide this much-needed land use on a property that is open and
available and does not displace or impact adjacent properties. It requires the approval
of a Use Permit to authorize a multi-family development on property that was
previously designated for a commercial type development, consistent with this policy.
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 4 of 18 Page 413 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 5
Housing Element Policy H2.14 states the “City shall assure that affordable housing
provided through density bonuses, and other programs or incentives remain
affordable long-term consistent with State law.” The 50 rental units will remain
affordable for residents for a period of time, consistent with the land lease term of 75
years, consistent with this policy.
Housing Element Policy H3.1 seeks to “assure high quality, well-designed housing
that respects the surrounding neighborhood, and provide for a greater variety of
housing options to meet community needs.” The Housing Element also encourages
the efficient use of land and that make every effort to approve well-designed projects
consistent with General Plan densities. This project appears consistent with both of
these policy goals, as the proposed development of 50 apartment units on the 2.37-
acre site is consistent with the General Plan density range. All of the units within the
development will be affordable to eligible low-income families. In addition, the City has
adopted Residential Design Guidelines to ensure that new infill developments are
compatible with existing neighborhoods.
B. ZONING
The project site is located within the Creekside District of the Gasser Master Plan. Multi-
family residential uses are a conditional use subject to approval of a Use Permit, and may
be incorporated at a density of 10-40 units/acre if the overall PM peak-hour trip generation
for the entire Gasser Master Plan District is not exceeded (as analyzed in the Gasser
Master Plan Draft EIR), and other zoning standards are met. In calculating the trip
generation from the proposed 50-unit development, the Public Works Department has
determined that the proposed development does not exceed the overall PM peak-hour
trip generation requirement. As provided in the analysis of the revised traffic demand,
residential peak hour traffic is lower than the traffic assigned to the site when assumed to
be non-residential spaces such as office use.
The Creekside District does not require a rear or side yard setback, and with its location on
the west-side of Gasser Drive the buildings are intended to be located/oriented to take
advantage of wetland and Tulocay Creek views. The proposed building is located adjacent
to the required setback limits of Tulocay Creek and the wetland area consistent with the
Gasser Master Plan. The proposed landscape areas exceed the minimum 20% landscape
area requirement for the project site. The proposed building is consistent with the Creekside
Development Standards regarding setbacks, yards and required landscape area. The
proposed building will have a maximum height of 42 feet, which is well within the 48-foot
maximum height of the Creekside District.

ATTACHMENT 2
Page 5 of 18 Page 414 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 6
Off-street pedestrian and bicycle trails within the Gasser Project are intended to provide
a key recreation resource to residents and the public. One of the goals of the Master Plan
is to create a system of linked off-street multi-use trails along the railroad tracks, around
much of the North Wetlands, along the north-side of Tulocay Creek, and over Tulocay
Creek to South River Place by way of the City of Napa’s crossing of the Napa Valley Wine
Train Bridge. The Master Plan supports and is consistent with City efforts to provide a
connection across the railroad tracks at Tulocay Creek to the citywide River Trail for
resident and community access. The proposed development takes advantage of an
existing public trails easement that exists along the southern boundary of the property
adjacent to Tulocay Creek.
C. PARKING
The Zoning Ordinance establishes the following parking requirements for the proposed
50-unit multi-family residential development:
TABLE 2 – PARKING STANDARDS
Units Standard Required
1-bedroom 15 1.25 spaces / unit 18.75
2-bedroom 20 1.50 spaces / unit 30.00
3-bedroom 15 1.75 spaces / unit 26.25
Guest 50 1 space / 2 units 25.00
Total 100
The parking layout plan prepared for the development provides a total of 100 spaces,
consisting of 51 carport spaces and 49 uncovered spaces. The development is required to
provide a total of 50 covered parking spaces; 51 covered spaces have been proposed,
which satisfies the covered parking requirement. Additionally, because the development
will be on a street which will not provide on-street parking, the proposed development has
been designed with a guest parking ratio of one space per two units, which satisfies the
parking space requirements identified above. The guest parking spaces will be distributed
throughout the proposed development.
Napa Municipal Code (NMC) Section 17.54.110 generally restricts the use of tandem
parking (parking one car behind another, where one car must be moved to get the second
car out), except as provided below for residential applications:
A. Residential driveways leading to a garage/carport or other uncovered space
outside of setback areas for single-family, condominium, duplex and
accessory second unit uses, where at least 2 spaces are required for the unit
and the tandem space is for the same household.
B. Residential tandem garages for single-family homes that require 5 or more
parking spaces through an exception process. With this exception, the
driveway space can continue to count as a legal space.
C. Other residential development through a Use Permit.
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 6 of 18 Page 415 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 7
Consistent with the exception in “C” above, the Applicant requests a Use Permit for 12
tandem parking spaces that will be located within the driveways leading to a carport. These
tandem parking spaces are located outside of the drive aisle and would typically be used
only by a resident or guest of the corresponding unit. Based on the parking lot design and
location of the tandem parking spaces, Staff supports the Use Permit for tandem parking.
D. FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
The site is also subject to the Floodplain Management (FP) Overlay District regulations,
which require that the City's Floodplain Administrator review all on-site improvements. After
review of the proposed plans and the Applicant's hydraulic analysis of the project, the
Floodplain Administrator has determined that the improvements are consistent with both
the existing City policy and standards and with Federal floodplain criteria.
E. WETLAND SETBACK
The project site is located directly adjacent to the North Wetlands which is owned by the
Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District). The
Applicant has been working closely with the Flood Control District, the Regional Water
Quality Control Board, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife on the appropriate riparian
setback for the development. The project incorporates a 50-foot riparian/wetland setback
from the edge of the wetlands. This setback area will be landscaped and new split rail
fence (similar to the fence design used at Vista Tulocay Apartments) will delineate the
buffer area from the common area landscaping that will be constructed along the
wetlands.
F. DESIGN REVIEW
The proposed development includes 50 living units within a new three- to four-story
building, consisting of 15 one-bedroom, 20 two-bedroom, and 15 three-bedroom units. The
new building is designed in the shape of an “L” with a landscape courtyard to be developed
on the inside of the “L.” The building will be located along the southern end of the triangular
shaped property with the parking located to the east and north of the proposed building.
The Fire Code requires that all developments of 50 or more units provide a secondary
means of vehicular egress in the event of an emergency, which shall remain unobstructed
at all times (i.e., not dedicated for emergency vehicle access only, but rather open to
resident use at all times). Consistent with this requirement, the Applicant proposes two
driveway access points from the Gasser Drive Extension.
In accordance with the Gasser Master Plan Design Guidelines, Staff relied on the
principles found in the City’s Residential Design Guidelines for reviewing the site
development and architectural design. The applicable guidelines are identified below,
followed by a response identifying how the project application addresses the guidelines.

Site Plan
a. Buildings should frame neighborhood gateways and define community and
common open spaces. Public, communal, and private spaces should be clearly
distinguishable.
The proposed building frames a landscape courtyard that is located on the interior
of the “L” shaped building. The building is located/oriented to take advantage of
the views of the adjacent wetland and Tulocay Creek which will be fenced to clearly
define the boundary of the private and public spaces.
b. Ground floor units should have direct access from streets and from common
spaces. Units should provide "eyes-on-the-street" security by orienting towards
streets and common areas.
The ground floor units have access to the adjacent common spaces and from the
central pedestrian passages within the building. The units provide windows and
balconies oriented to the common area and street to create the desired “eyes on
the street” security.
c. Entry drives to multifamily housing should be designed to create a positive identity
for the project. Landscape and site design should frame and distinguish entry
drives.
A pair of Red Sunset Maple trees will frame the southern-most driveway creating
a positive identity for the project.
d. Parking lots should be screened by shade trees, landscaping, or buildings. Parking
should be unobtrusive and not disrupt the quality of common spaces and
pedestrian environments of multifamily development. Parking should be distributed
throughout the site in discrete courts and garages.
The parking areas will be screened from the adjacent public street with shrubs and
trees. The proposed uncovered surface parking areas have been designed
consistent with the “one tree for every five parking spaces” requirement. The
location of the parking areas does not conflict with common open space areas or
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 8 of 18 Page 417 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 9
the pedestrian walkways that are located throughout the development. Parking is
located within carports and surface spaces and evenly distributed within the
proposed development away from the public view.
e. Services for multifamily development should not be visible from public areas. Trash
bins, utility meters, transformers, and other service elements should be enclosed
or otherwise concealed from view.
The recycling and waste areas for the development will be located within the
northern portion of the building and will not be highly visible from public open
spaces areas. Staff has included a condition of approval requiring that all
mechanical and utility equipment, including transformers and backflow devices, be
screened and/or integrated in to the building structure.

Figure 5 – Landscape Plan
Common Areas
f. Common open areas and parks provide gathering places, add livability and value:
Encourage usable common open space in larger housing developments,
considering higher heights, increased densities or decreased setbacks on some
portions of the site as a tradeoff for providing such amenities.
The design of the development includes a large courtyard feature near the project
entrance, a community garden, playground and large open area with a series of
pedestrian walkways connected throughout the project which provide access to the
residential units as well as the interior common areas, office and the adjacent creek
trail.
g. Multifamily development must provide common and/or private open space for each
unit consistent with development standards in the Zoning Ordinance. Multifamily
projects should include both landscaped and hardscape areas that encourage
social interaction. Play spaces for children are strongly encouraged and should be
both secure and observable. Common private open space should be centrally
located and have a physical and visible connection to public open space. Common
open space should be connected to each project’s internal pedestrian system.
The development includes several common areas that are located throughout with
a community center, balconies and outdoor entertainment areas. The guidelines
suggest that multifamily development must provide both common and private open
space for each unit consistent with development standards in the Zoning
Ordinance. Although not a Zoning requirement, the development provides the
minimum open space requirement of 200 square feet per unit that is typically
required of a multi-family development. The common open spaces are
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 10 of 18 Page 419 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 11
conveniently located and have a physical and visible connection to the residential
units. All common open space areas are connected to the project’s internal
pedestrian system.
The proposed landscape design includes a variety of communal spaces that use
drought-tolerant, low-water usage plants. The project will plant trees in compliance
with the City’s parking lot design standards and street requirements. According to
the project’s landscaping plan, the Project will plant new trees including Red
Maple, Pin Oak, Western Redbud, California Sycamore and Crape Myrtle. All
onsite landscaping and irrigation plans would be designed by a licensed landscape
architect or landscape contractor and approved by the City of Napa Public Works
Department Water Division, prior to the approval of Improvement Plans and
issuance of building permits for the project.

h. Multifamily projects should utilize a unifying theme and a common vocabulary of
forms and architectural elements. Building forms should use varying roof heights,
setbacks and wall planes to break up the perceived bulk of buildings. Long,
unbroken volumes and large, unarticulated wall and roof planes should not be
permitted.
The residential building essentially consists of a combination of three- and four-story
walk-ups. The fourth-floor elements are proposed on the longer portion of the
building to provide a varying roof height and building plane which break up the
perceived bulk of the building. The residential building has been designed with a
common vocabulary of forms and architectural elements. The exterior finish of the
buildings is predominantly stucco with corrugated metal siding elements in a variety
of unique color schemes. The proposed building features metal railing on balconies
with composition roofing shingles. The units feature windows that are aligned with
each other and other building elements to provide a harmonious appearance. The
change in roof forms and varying wall planes present interesting elevations that are
not overly repetitive.
i. Facades should have three-dimensional elements, such as chimneys, balconies,
bay windows or dormers, to break up large wall and roof surfaces. Every facade
should possess an overall design concept that is well composed and articulated
and of consistent quality.
Multiple wall offsets and varied roof forms create a reduced sense of scale. The
hierarchy of fenestration treatment, detailing, and exterior wall materials provides
visual interest when seen from a distance or from a pedestrian level. Second-floor
balconies and open railings develop shadow patterns and textures. Each elevation
has the same level of articulation and quality as the front elevation.
j. Roof forms should reflect their context. While traditional sloping roofs, such as
gable or hip roofs are generally preferred, there may be instances (such as
adjacent to a traditional commercial district) where flat roofs may be allowed, if
screened from public view by continuous parapets or by pitched roofs.
The proposed residential building provides a combination of roof forms with
traditional sloping roof consistent with the guidelines.

k. Outbuildings, such as community buildings, management offices, club houses, or
freestanding parking garages should incorporate design features, materials and
colors of the residential buildings.
With the exception of the proposed carport structures, no outbuildings are
proposed for this development. The proposed office, community room, and bicycle
room been incorporated within the proposed residential building.
l. Stairways, fences, trash enclosures and other accessory elements should be
designed as integral parts of the architecture. These should not be visible features
at the ends of streets or driveways.
The proposed stairways are located in the interior of the building and will not be
visible. Additionally, the trash area is integrated in design and materials with the
building. A new split rail fence will be constructed at the top of the wetland and
creek areas to delineate the buffer area from the common area landscaping that
will be constructed along the wetlands.

Materials and Color
m. Multi-family housing should demonstrate a commitment to lasting and durable
design with materials and colors that support overall image and massing concepts.
The proposed buildings have a contemporary design with sustainable exterior
materials such as three coat stucco, metal siding, vinyl windows and composite
shingle roofs. The proposed building has common design details and materials
that create a unifying architectural theme. The proposed building has been
designed with a clear pattern of openings, a recognizable entry and appropriate
roof details to create an interesting roofline.
n. All the facades should employ the same quality of materials. On corner units,
architectural materials should be consistent on both exposed elevations.

All elevations share the same level of architectural detail and material treatment.
o. Painted surfaces should use colors that reinforce architectural concepts and are
compatible with natural materials, such as brick or stone.
The proposed color scheme for the new buildings will be an adobe beige or cream
along with tan, brown and gray for the stucco elements. The composite roofs will
be a gray. The building colors are appropriate for the particular building style.
G. HOUSING AUTHORITY COMMENTS
The Housing Authority recommends that the Planning Commission support the project
and forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the project. The Applicant
will enter into an agreement to construct 100% of the housing units (50) at affordable
rental prices to low- income households for a period of 75 years commensurate with the
underlying land lease of property. The Housing Authority supports this project, as it will
provide the type of affordable housing which has been identified as a need in the City of
Napa Housing Element.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff has determined that project’s potential environmental effects were adequately
examined by the following documents pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15063 and
15162:
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Gasser Master Plan (File No. 02-134),
adopted December 12, 2006 [herein referenced as the 2006 EIR]; and
Addendum to the EIR for the Gasser Master Plan prepared for Vista Tulocay
Apartments (File No. PL13-0139), adopted August 16, 2016.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a), a subsequent EIR shall not be required
when:
A. There is not a substantial change to the project that involves new significant
environmental effects or an increase in the severity of a previously identified
significant effect;
B. There is not a substantial change to the circumstances which the project is
undertaken that involves new significant environmental effects or an increase in
the severity of a previously identified significant effect; and
C. There is no new information of substantial importance that shows the project will
have a significant effect, significant effects will be more severe, and mitigation
measures that would reduce significant effects are rejected by the Applicant.
The CEQA Guidelines establish 17 environmental issue areas that are reviewed as a part
of a CEQA environmental checklist form. Staff has identified that analysis of
transportation and traffic issues was warranted.
ATTACHMENT 2
Page 14 of 18 Page 423 of 477
Stoddard West #17-0061 15
The 2006 EIR analyzed a project where the subject site was developed as 26,000 square
feet of offices. The project proposes to replace the office use with a 50-unit multi-family
residential development. A peak hour trip generation analysis (Crane Transportation
Group – date stamped received April 6, 2017) concluded that the project would result in
13 additional inbound trips and 21 fewer outbound trips; a reversal of the traffic pattern
versus offices due to the change in land uses. The Public Works Department has
reviewed the analysis and concluded that no additional mitigations are required. As such,
there is no substantial change to the project that involves new significant impacts; there
are no substantial changes to the circumstances which the project is being undertaken
that involves new significant impacts; and there is no new information of substantial
importance that shows the project will have a significant effect.
The adopted 2016 EIR addressed all environmental impacts of this project and no new
significant environmental impacts have been identified; therefore, the 2016 EIR remains
adequate for the purpose of evaluating the potential environmental effects of the
apartment development. The proposed development will be required to comply with all
applicable mitigation measures of the 2016 EIR prepared for the Master Plan as specified
in City Council Resolution R2006 193 and these mitigations will be incorporated as
conditions of any approval of the project.
VI. REQUIRED FINDINGS
The Planning Commission’s decision regarding this project is subject to the required
findings established in NMC Section 17.60.070 relating to the Use Permits and Section
17.62.080 relating to the Design Review Permits. These findings are provided in the draft
resolution attached to this Staff Report.
VII. PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice that this application was received was provided by the City on April 14, 2017, and
notice of the scheduled public hearing was provided on May 4, 2017, by US Postal
Service to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the subject property. Notice of
the public hearing was also published in the Napa Valley Register on May 5, 2017 and
provided to people previously requesting notice on the matter at the same time notice
was provided to the newspaper for publication. The Applicant was also provided a copy
of this report and the associated attachments in advance of the public hearing on the
project.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the City
Council to approve the Use Permit for a multi-family development and tandem parking
and approve the Design Review Permit for a multi-family development based on a
determination that the application is consistent with the City’s General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance.

PROJECT LOCATION:
The project site is located on property located off of Gasser Drive in the City of Napa, California; also identified
as Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 046.190.052.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT:
The Grant Recipient (Burbank Housing Development Corporation [BHDC]) seeks CDBG funds to acquire a long-
term lease interest in the project site for a future development application to construct a 50-unit multi-family
residential development for households at or below 60% of the area median income. The project also includes a
development application for Use Permit and Design Review Permit for a multi-family residential development.
The Applicant proposes a 50-unit development on a 2.37-acre parcel. All of the units will be income restricted
and includes a mix of 15 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedroom units. A total of 100 on-site
parking spaces are proposed in a combination of surface and covered parking spaces.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROPOSAL:
The purpose of the proposed project is to acquire a long-term lease of the project site as a part of future
development application to construct a 50-unit multi-family residential development for households at or below
60% of the area median income. BHDC proposes to utilize HUD funding, as administered through the City of
Napa, to acquire the project site. These funds will be utilized to make capitalized rent payment for a long-term
ground lease and to leverage other funding sources. The City’s General Plan includes goals and policies related
to the development of affordable housing to address the City’s housing needs. The proposed project makes a
positive impact in addressing the housing needs of the community.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS:
The project site is located at the southern-end of the City of Napa, California. The City of Napa continues to be
one of the most expensive real estate markets within San Francisco Bay Area as high demand has continually
exceeded both housing supply and affordability. The proposed project seeks to acquire a project site located
within the Gasser Master Plan, a mixed-use development that is currently being developed in phases. The project
site is currently vacant; however, infrastructure improvements to the area are currently being made as part of
the development of the area. If the proposed project is not completed, the funds will remain unspent and the
project site will be sold to another developer.
