2:30 p.m.The Napa County Board of Supervisors will likely address the city of Napa’s request to suspend its analysis of the 3,200 home Napa Pipe proposal at a March 18 meeting.
County CEO Nancy Watt scheduled the meeting with the board Tuesday after Supervisor Mark Luce said the city seemed to misunderstand the current county/city planning approach to the development of the 152-acre Napa Pipe property.
“Everything is on the table, yet the city’s perception is that this is a railroad train,” he said.
Napa Mayor Jill Techel announced last week the city would withdraw its sponsorship of the 142-acre Ghisletta annexation and at the same time asked the county to suspend the “process to permit” the Napa Pipe development proposal.
The county is engaged in a general plan amendment process for the Napa Pipe proposal, a process that could pave the way for the development to start a track of public scrutiny. Should the proposal survive that track, it could gain eventual approval for homes and commercial buildings on the site.
