Napa City Council
Napa City Planning Commission
Oxbow District Task Force
Editor, Napa Valley Register

Re: Oxbow District

Council Members, Commissioners, Oxbow Task Force Members, and Editor,

We at the Friends of the Napa River are very pleased that Napa City is working towards implementing a new vision for the Oxbow District. Indeed, Friends is currently participating, with others, in the Oxbow District Task Force.

Realizing that the 2012 Downtown Specific Plan was inadequate in addressing the Oxbow District, the City retained an Urban Land Institute (ULI) panel in 2017/18 to research and recommend what might be done to address the unique elements in the Oxbow. There was great concern that adopting Downtown densities and heights would be inappropriate in this special neighborhood.

The 2018 ULI report was clear that the Oxbow District should be treated as its own u nique area separate and distinct from the Downtown. It emphasized that the Napa River should be the focus of the District and that it should celebrate the River creating access and recreational opportunities. Further, the report recommended maximizing the District's river and hillside views, that it be human scale with lower heights and massing, be pedestrian friendly, eclectic, and artsy, all of the qualities loved by locals and visitors alike.

Unfortunately, the City continued to approve development proje cts in the Oxbow without taking the ULI recommendations into account. Yet there also appeared to be recognition from City staff and leadership and from the community that further work needed to be done in the Oxbow District.

Unfortunately for all of us, t he 2020 Covid outbreak forced many initiatives to be put aside; with its staffing and budgetary challenges, the City had bigger and more daunting trials to face.

With budgets and staffing levels improving, the City’s Economic Development Division, under Neal Harrison’s leadership, retained two highly regarded advisors to re-engage a broad range of stakeholders. Their task was to determine if the 2018 ULI recommendations were still applicable and if there was a consensus on priorities for the Oxbow D istrict moving forward over the coming years. After dozens of interviews and site visits, their report with its recommendations was made public on August 30, 2021.

Overall, the 2022 update echoed many of the recommendations contained in the 2018 ULI Report, especially with a focus on the Napa River along with expansion of the River Trail and improved access to the river.

Page 3 of 27 ends
Page 9 of 33 ends

There were a number of key recommendations:
• Expansion of the boundaries of the District: “…refine the area of the Oxbow District so the river is ‘the center’ of the District and not one of the boundaries of the District”. • Building small and retaining the Oxbow District’s unique character. • Nurturing public life and the celebration and showcasing of the Oxbow’s heritage. • Crafting and implementation of a comprehensive parking plan. • Celebrating and expanding the usage of the Oxbow Commons Park. • Establishing a path to creating a shared long-term vision for the Oxbow District.

The report closes with recommendations to our City leaders and to the community for a shared way forward. The Board of the Friends of the Napa River wholeheartedly encourages the City to move forward expeditiously to develop a separate Specific Plan for an enlarged Oxbow District that will enable this invaluable part of our town to evolve so that we and future Napa generations will fully embrace it. Simply echoing the allowable heights, densities, and uses approved for the main downtown would not, in our view, fit that vision. We are solidly in support of “building small and retaining the Oxbow District’s unique character”.

Thank you for your consideration,

Board of Directors
Friends of the Napa River

Dear Councilmember,
Tomorrow’s council meeng agenda, as part of the consent calendar (5D), includes a recommendaon to authorize the Public Works Director to approve a donaon of $1,000 to the Napa County Bicycle Coalion’s Bike Month acvies. We want to thank Public Works and the City of Napa for both its support of Bike Month and for all the City and Public Works does to make biking in the City of Napa safe and accessible. We are honored by your partnership.

Regarding a different item on the consent calendar, the Capital Improvements Mid-Year Budget Adjustments (5C), we wish to remind you of our ask that proposed bicycle facilies in the City’s adopted Bike Plan are implemented during Measure T repaving projects. For this parcular item, that requires that Class II and Class III bike facilies are added to Laurel Street and that the Browns Valley Corridor study is completed and integrated into repaving plans. Given the importance of these streets in connecng those in the west and southwest of the city to schools, desnaons like parks and places of worship, and other neighborhoods, these Measure T projects present a crucial opportunity to make significant progress on improving safety and connecvity for those who bike, which will in turn move Napa toward its goal of a 10 percent mode shi by 2035.

Thank you for your me, support, and consideraon,
Kara Vernor

Dear Beth & Mary,
I just returned from a visit to Palm Springs (see attached photos) and was very impressed with their Traffic Calming and Bike facilities. As a city that relies heavily on tourists, we need to upgrade our bike routes to serve both the recreational and transportation uses of biking.

As you review the Capital Improvements Mid-Year Budget Adjustments (on the Consent Calendar for today’s meeting) we need the Measure T repaving projects to include the upgrading of bike facilities that are laid out in the City’s adopted Bike Plan.

Two of these serve the Brown’s Valley neighborhoods:
- Completion of the Browns Valley Corridor Study
- Class ll and Class lll bike facilities added to Laurel Street.

As chairperson of the Bicycle and Trails Advisory Commission (BTAC), we will be moving forward on several initiatives including a name change for BTAC and revised bylaws. We will also be making recommendations to Public Works and to the Council to consider increased budgets for signing and paint that supports traffic calming and bike safety.

Thanks to both of you for supporting Complete Streets in Napa.

Subject: Infrastructure Financing District scheduled March 1 public hearing - comments
[EXTERNAL]
Dear Ms Carranaza,
I will be unable to attend the subject public hearing.  I am forwarding my comments be;ow  and request your assistance in providing these comments to all members of the city council for their consideration at this hearing.

Regards,   Jack Gray
Comments on establishment of an Infrastructure Financing District within the city of Napa
Potential taxes discussed in the recent Napa Register article include; property taxes, grants and BONDS.  Potential improvement projects discussed were; parking. water systems, broadband, sewers, roadways, utility and flood control.  The projected funding was stated as about $155 million over 50 years
.

My concern is these all have been and are expected responsibilities of our local government. City residents are already paying for these services which have included;
1)
An 18 year flood control tax, Measure A
2) A 25 year sales tax for road repairs, Measure T
3) Sewer rate increases imposed by the separately funded Napa Sanitation District which have increased costs of sewer services by over 54% in the last 5 years.*
4)
Water services and periodic rate increases imposed through the Napa City Public Works department.*
* (These increases are conducted in accordance with Proposition 218 Section 4 of             the California state constitution.) Is the intent of forming the Infrastructure Financing (read taxing) District
asking residents somehow to pay for these services again? Item 7.A.

The Napa city council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on March 1 to approve the plan.

Since the democrats recently got the massive Infrastructure and Jobs Act through congress it appears that Napa city should at least wait to see how much funding Napa will be getting before trying to develop a new local infrastructure financing district..
