Housing Burden: % of after-tax income paid for rent
or ownership (these data are just rentals)
• A percent over 30% is considered “burdened” in
housing advocacy circles
• Severe burden is considered over 50%
• Caveats
• Burden is a function of housing costs and
incomes
• The key is how households are making
budget decisions assuming taxes and
housing are paid first
City of Napa: Things to Watch
• City of Napa toward 2023
• City of Napa strong recovery to 2022, slower in 2023
• Macroeconomic context is fading toward recession in 2023: interest rates rising leave little choice
• Travel industry: strong recovery, assume slower in 2023 • Will Napa be a focus of regional travel with income growth slowing down due to job losses and slower economy?
• Housing forecasts reduced: more forecast downgrades coming • No predicted repeat of 2006-09: available existing and new units and credit conditions much more stable
• Perspective: need to watch construction employment

Subject: Comment to City Council for Meeting Discussing the Al Fresco dining denial Date: Saturday, December 3, 2022 10:29:39 AM
[EXTERNAL]
Dear Council Members and Mayor,
As long-time Napa residents, we strongly support our local businesses and their attempt to obtain permanent closure of th
e one block section of Main Street that has been temporarily closed to allow outside dining/wine tasting due to Covid rest
rictions. We have been to all the businesses that offer their services outside on multiple occasions and will cont
inue to support them. We believe that having a pedestrian-only block downtown to offer a safe, enjoyable exper
ience that is also a draw to tourists, is beneficial to the downtown area. That i t fronts Veteran’s Park is also a
bonus of o
ffering essentially an expanded park area and safe corridor for children, especially during events in the park. W
e encourage you to reconsider your denial of this permanent closure and encourage you to work with Al Fresco N
apa to implement their proposal of shared expense of the closure. We do not have any financial interest in any of t
he affected businesses.

COMMENT TO COUNCIL FOR THE DECEMBER 6, 2022 MEETING -PLEASE READ Monday, December 5, 2022 11:35:43 AM
I am writing in support of making the 800 block of Main Street a permanent pedestrian parklet. Napa needs more pedestrian-friendly areas to provide world-class al fresco dining and safe walking areas for locals and visitors alike. This particular block is ideal for the purpose as permanently closing the street eliminates a frequent vehicle choke-point and ensures the safety of pedestrians crossing to and from Veterans Park.
Parklets also align with the ‘‘Slow Down Napa" initiative by creating slow and safe areas where needed the most: areas where people congregate for shopping, dining and recreation. Please also note that as a local, I did not experience any inconvenience while driving downtown during its closure period.
I thank those council members that are in support of the Al Fresco Napa proposal and urge the remainder to consider moving the proposal forward. Please work with its proponents to create a safe and vibrant Napa.
Thank you.

Napa, CA 94558
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I urge the Mayor and Council Members to Approve and adopt the Subdivision Map and Plans as revised and submitted for the Lone Oak Subdivision with one additional condition I have listed below. This is a good project with a good developer who has taken this parcel’s difficult set- backs seriously and provided adequate set-backs from Redwood Creek.
Regarding Agenda Item 15.A. 361-2022 Lone Oak Tentative Subdivision Map Recommendation:
Adopt a resolution approving a Design Review Permit, Use Permit, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the subdivision of a 2.97-acre property into 6 single-family lots at 2394 Lone Oak Avenue, and determining that the actions authorized by this Resolution are exempt from CEQA.
ATCH 1 - Resolution with Ex A
ATCH 2 – PC Reports
ATCH 3 - Revised Project Plans Attachment
Please add the following condition to the Subdivision Approval:
Before Construction commences, a sturdy, non-climbable permanent 6 foot fence must be constructed at the end of Lone Oak Avenue to prevent any access or trespassing; this fence must also be constructed at the subdivision property line on the North side of Lone Oak Avenue; a sign stating “No Trespassing or Construction Access” posted on the Lone Oak Avenue fence should be included.
Thank you for your consideration,
Thomas Andrews
