CEQA
In January 2020, the City of Napa adopted an
addendum to the original EIR that evaluated
the updated Napa Pipe Development Plan and
associated documents. The development of
property proposed by this tentative map is
within the scope of analysis evaluated by the
certified EIR and the addenda; thus, no further
environmental review is necessary.
