11. 1. AGENDA REVIEW
12. 2. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
13. A. NAPA BASIN REACH INC AND NAPA SWITCHBACK BEND INC / LANGTRY FARMS TROLLEY AND BARN CERTIFICATE OF EXTENT LEGAL NONCONFORMITY APPLICATION (P26-00016-CLN) CEQA STATUS: General Rule, also known as the ‘common sense exemption’. Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the Certificate of Legal Non-Conformity to acknowledge the existing historic trolley and barn is not a project under CEQA because they will not cause a "direct physical change in the environment" or a "reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment" and they do not authorize any specific development activity or promote new construction or growth. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the determination of the extent of legal nonconformity would have a significant effect on the environment and therefore CEQA is not applicable. [See Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, 14 CCR 15061(b)(3)]. This project site is not included on a list of hazardous material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. REQUEST: The Napa County Planning Division has received a request from Napa Basin Reach Inc. for a Certificate of the Extent of Legal Nonconformity to recognize the historic use of an existing trolley constructed prior to 1987 and agricultural barn constructed prior to 1954, both predating adoption of the Napa County Code (NCC) Zoning Ordinance Title 18 and/or the Conservation Regulations NCC Chapter 18.108. The nonconforming trolley spans across Putah creek between Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 016-100-066 (~7.6 acres), and 016-100-082 (~41.3 acres) while the nonconforming barn is located on APN 016-100-081 (~8.7 acres). All parcels are located within the AW (Agricultural Watershed) zoning district and have a General Plan land use designation of AWOS (Agriculture, Watershed and Open Space). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Find the project exempt from CEQA and approve the Certificate of Legal Nonconformity (CLN) Application as described.
