7o WILLIAM L. BOPF, City Manager Dare OCTOBER 5, 1979
From MICHAEL FOLEY, Director of Planning & Community Development
Subject INCORPORATION, CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON
Attached is a Request for Comments form which I received on September 28 from
L.A.F.C. This particular application has been filed by the American Canyon In-
coporating Committee to incorporate the community of American Canyon as a General
Law City.
I recommend that the form be submitted to L.A.F.C. with the following statements:
1. Status of City of Napa under C.E.Q.A. = None.
2. Required permits = None.
3. Areas of environmental concerns:
a. Additional residential, commercial and industrial development within the
proposed 29 square mile city would create a negative traffic impact on
highways connecting the City of Napa with the proposed city.
b. Anticipated commercial development, especially a regional shopping center
within the proposed 29 square mile city, would create a negative economical
impact on the viability of Downtown Napa as the Napa Valley's regional
shopping center.
c. Anticipated residential development within the proposed 29 square mile
City would conflict with the Napa County General Plan's population goals
and the 1978 advisory vote regarding population growth by citizens through-
out Napa County..
4. Environmental recommendation = EIR.

The Napa Sanitation District currently provides sewer service to the Napa County
Airport and the Napa Valley Industricai Park.
Action by the Napa County Local Agency Formation Commission to approve the proposed
Incorporation would result in the area being subject to the land use controls of
the new city. The following Urban Services would be provided by the new city:

No organizational change to the American Canyon County Water District or the American
