According to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts after implementation of mitigation measures (or MM’s).

Napa County code requires a 600-foot winery setback from Silverado Trail (N.C.C. § 18.104.230.A.1). The project would be built out over two (2) phases in order to maintain Average Daily Trips to the winery below 28 and not initially trigger the need to construct a Left-Turn Lane on Silverado Trail until phase two (2) is constructed. Phasing will be conditioned in the project’s Conditions of Approval. The project site is located on the Napa Valley Floor, approximately 0.3 miles north of the intersection of Silverado Trail and Dutch Henry Canyon Road. 4300 Silverado Trail, Calistoga, CA 94515.
