ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: CITY OF NAPA Page 8 Printed on 3/6/2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final December 4, 2018 15.A. Napa Pipe Project Update Erin Morris, Planning Manager, provided information regarding the recent discussions between the City and County of Napa concerning the mutual interest in providing an affordable housing development as part of the first phase of the project. She stated there were limitations in state law at this time that limit the opportunity for the City and County to receive credit for Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNA). Molly Rattigan, Deputy County of Napa Executive Officer, stated the RHNA law was complicated, and County and City staff have identified the need for state legislation to assist with the efforts to develop affordable housing in the near term. Vice Mayor Sedgley stated he had no concerns about earlier annexations, but some other changes proposed by the Developer concerned him, such as dedicating certain unfracture and public space to the City after it is constructed, and proposing a permanent funding source in the future. He stated he didn’t want the city to take ownership of land that could have potential problems in the future. Ms. Morris responded that staff would have discussions with county staff on those issues at a later date. Mayor Techel stated she would be willing to go to Sacramento to support the change in legislation in order to find the proper locations for the homes and provide the necessary RHNA credit. 16.

All members of the Council provided specifics on their communications on the subject prior to the meeting. Erin Morris, Planning Manager, provided a broad overview of the site, and explained the unique requirements of the site as an Affordable Housing Overlay designation, including the General Plan requirement that Wine Country Avenue be extended to Linda Vista Avenue. Mike Allen, Associate Planner, provided the staff report and reviewed staff’s PowerPoint presentation. Katherine Philippakis, Attorney representing the Applicant, provided brief comments, and introduced the other members of the Team, including Kirk Geyer, Designer; Jeremy Sill, Project Engineer; and Randy Gularte. Designer Kirk Geyer talked in depth about the project, followed by Jeremy Sill, Project Engineer. Mayor Techel called for public comment. The following individuals came forward to speak: Brian Bowman, resident, stated the street configuration appeared to violate the safety provision of the General Plan with the minimum spacing of intersecting streets on a collector street. He provided Page 3-6 of Table 3-2 of the current City's General Plan. Joelle Gallagher, with Napa Housing Coalition, stated that the Affordable Housing Overlay should consider density as well as number of units. Don Chase, resident, urged City Council to not allow the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to become vacation rentals or bed and breakfasts. Jaime Gongora, resident, noted the top concerns from the neighborhood included safety and infill of cars, and expressed concern regarding the extension of Wine Country Avenue. CITY OF NAPA Page 10 Printed on 3/6/2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final December 4, 2018 Sharon Macklin, Napa Housing Coalition member, urged creating a committee, which would include some members of Council, housing advocates, and other interested individuals in order to draft a new ordinance to address the issue of impact fees. Mike Cleaver, resident, stated opening up Winedale would create a small u-turn and would not provide connectivity to the neighborhood. Michael Baldini, resident, and Chair of Citizens Advisory Committee of the Napa County Transportation Authority, voiced concerns about traffic. Sarah Kramer, resident, also voiced concerns regarding traffic and suggested that consideration be given to repositioning the homes and styles to ensure more privacy. Heidi Grapes, resident, asked if anyone had done a traffic study to determine the increased number of cars on Wine Country. Bob Massaro, member of the Napa Housing Coalition, emphasized that the policies and codes needed to be changed. He stated the affordable housing overlay affects density, not affordability, and urged changing the current paradigm. Lisa Cleaver, resident, expressed concern regarding traffic and safety concerns. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Sedgley to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Councilmember Alessio. The motion was carried unanimously. Mayor Techel allowed the applicant to come forward for a rebuttal to the comments. Katherine Philippakis, Attorney representing the Applicant, addressed various concerns expressed by the public. She stated ADUs were not allowed to be used for vacation rentals. She added that the statement that the overlay had more to do with density than affordability was somewhat true, but the project would provide a diversity in housing and price ranges, and the ADUs could assist with workforce housing by providing rental income for the propertly owner. Randy Gularte addressed the issues of stop signs, four-way intersections, the calming bulb and traffic issues. CITY OF NAPA Page 11 Printed on 3/6/2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final December 4, 2018 Mayor Techel asked staff if they had analyzed the number of cars that would occur after the development. Tim Wood, Senior Civil Engineer, stated traffic generation was reviewed, estimating approximately 250 trips per day, which did not meet the requirement for a traffic study. Mayor Techel invited the Councilmembers to speak. Councilmember Alessio expressed concern regarding the safety of streets and the lack of affordable housing. She recommended that a traffic study be conducted. Councilmember Gentry stated she liked the design and the layout of the project, and appreciated what Mr. Massaro suggested in terms of creating a different model in order to address affordability. Councilmember Luros stated that the applicant had worked with staff, density was maximized, and there was no request for exceptions or variances. She agreed that the current requirements should be updated. Vice Mayor Sedgley stated infill projects were always difficult, particularly when an established neighborhood will be impacted. Adding housing without traffic would be impossible. He suggested that speed bumps should be considered, as they can be built so that emergency vehicles are not impacted. He also agreed that the model needed to be changed, but likely public subsidies would be needed. Mayor Techel asked about deed restrictions and whether something could be added regarding vacation rentals. City Attorney Barrett responded that there was currently a clear prohibition in the City’s Municipal Code regarding the prohibition of ADUs becoming vacation rentals, and adding a deed restriction could potentially create a disconnect between a property restriction and the City’s Municipal Code. Further discussion ensued regarding a potential traffic study, the status of the inclusionary housing ordinance. A motion was made by Councilmember Gentry, seconded by Councilmember Sedgley, to adopt Resolution R2018-142 approving a Use Permit, Design Review Permit and Tentative Map for the Vista Grove Subdivision, a subdivision of a 4.9-acre project site into 27 single family lots, located at 4455 Linda Vista Avenue and determining that the actions authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 3- Techel, Gentry, and Sedgley No: 2- Alessio, and Luros CITY OF NAPA Page 12 Printed on 3/6/2019 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final December 4, 2018 17.
