Goodbye Downtown Napa,
Hello Manhattan-ized Napa
Chris d Craiker ALA/NCARB
We've all been waiting for decades to see Napa’s downtown Dwight Murray Plaza revitalized along with the redevelopment of what used to be called Mervin's department store-now Kohl’s. Attached is my 30-year-old recommendation to save the clock tower…..Remember it? That was a lost cause. And now, it looks like saving Murray Plaza is also a lost cause. Say goodbye to Napa Downtown as we once knew it.
Last week the Planning Commission and the public reviewed for the first time- and apparently the last- a poorly detailed proposal for a significant reconstruction of Downtown Napa. The applicants, PC 3VG and Coombs Street LLC, released for the first time their proposed First Street Napa Phase II for redeveloping 2.85 acres of the city’s core, if not it’s soul, stretching between First, Coombs, Brown and Pearl Streets.
The Applicant owns approximately 1.94-acres that includes the former Kohl’s and other users along First Street. Five years ago, the city made a deal with the applicant to purchase the city owned parking lots, followed last year with an agreement to exchange real estate, allowing the applicant to take over Dwight Murray Plaza. Their proposal is to create a mixed-use project consisting of 78 high-end condominiums, 161 room luxury hotel and 30,000 square feet of commercial space. Dwight Murray Plaza will be “relocated” and turned into a pedestrian alleyway. The proposed includes the elimination of two surface parking lots and the redesign area around the 9/11 Memorial, the largest memorial in the West to the tragic event.
In the Thursday public hearing, the Commissioners made comments and recommendations. As Commissioner Alex Myers pointed out, multiple issues needed clarification and noted the planning commission only had one shot at this massive proposal. The City Attorney Dan Deporto complained that Mr. Myers questions were inappropriate. The final Commission vote was four in-favor of the massive stack of documents and one vote, Mr. Myers, against.
This cannot be the last time the Planning Commission and the public get a chance to look, comment and seek modifications, if not denial, of this project.
Let's talk about the process. The Development Agreement is going to be assigned to the City Planning staff for their review only. For such a large project, this is inappropriate. I reviewed the attachments and only found one rendering of the First Street six-story hotel. It is mammoth. I know the Planning Department was forced to accept this skeleton but the number of elevations, plans and details shown are well below the city's requirements, for even a simple garage conversion. There are multiple interior renderings of lobbies and multi-story spaces, but they could be New York or Omaha, Nebraska. They lack any relationship to a Napa vernacular.
Not only will Dwight Murray Plaza to be removed, but multiple stores around the Plaza will be closing soon. As noted by the applicant, it took 13 years to get to this point, of which six years were in the planning with vaguely detailed exhibits just now being circulated. It will be another six years before they break ground, let alone get a building permit. In the meantime, multiple shops will sit vacant, unused. That's all the city needs is to have visitors see closed doors, well into the 2030’s. One restaurant, Allegria will remain but will be overwhelmed by the gigantic adjacent buildings. They will lose their outdoor patio.
One important question is: do we need another hotel in downtown Napa? While the revenue to the city for TOT sales and real estate taxes could be significant, hotel occupancies have been dropping as visitors fail to return as fast as the pre-COVID era.
Already a number of hotels have been approved but not broken ground. I've been a major supporter of providing more B&B's in the city and I know from experience that their occupancies are down as well as their revenues.
I've discussed with Chuck Shinnamon the housing issue and it's noted that the developers have helped fund the Methodist Church affordable housing project significantly but what happens if it doesn't go forward or is stalled. If the developers were to pay in-lieu fees based on 161 room hotel and a 68 high end condominiums, the fees would probably be significantly higher, but it's all hocus pocus at this time. Mr.
Shinnamon points out that studies have shown that up to 50% of hotel employees may qualify for affordable housing. With two-bedroom rental apartments hovering at over $2000 a month, shouldn't they be providing employee housing? What about parking? Two lots are going away and the report calls for a “future parking agreement”. It’s very simple: the city will be losing a lot of open parking and maybe….. just maybe…will be replacing them with structured parking somewhere, yet to be determined. Get out your prayer book.
But here is my take: the project is too big, too massive and too unrealistic. Many ol’ timers remember when in the 70’s, Napa ripped-out many historic downtown buildings for what is now called First Street, a disastrous redevelopment project that is just now recovering from decades of mediocrity. The city should never have accepted this bare bones minimal application that does not show the full size, scope or impact on the downtown. The architecture does not embrace our distinctive cultural values.
There is a proposal included for an “advocate committee” to overview the design. Not necessarily a formal design review, but advisory. This sounds like the embryo of a design review board that the city could use. Stay tuned.

Hello Scott!
The purpose of this letter is to encourage the city council to support the hotel and condominium project proposed on First and Main.
This is exactly the type of beautiful, thoughtful, and first class development downtown Napa needs.
I enthusiastically support the project and encourage you and the rest of the city council to do the same!
This project, if approved and built, will become the hub of the downtown for the next century! Let’s do this!! It’s so darn beautiful too!
Thanks for hearing me out.
Best,
John

Dear Napa City Council & Mayor Sedgley,
As residents of Alta Heights, I am writing to express our family's enthusiastic support for the First Street project. We care deeply about this community and believe this project will have a profoundly positive impact on downtown Napa.
This project represents more than just development; it’s an investment in the future of downtown Napa.
The economic benefits are significant, from construction jobs in the short term to long-term employment through the hotel, residences, retail, and dining establishments. The architectural design and integrated public art are both inspired and thoughtful, setting a new standard for what a modern Napa experience can look and feel like. The inclusion of amenities and welcoming gathering spaces will activate the area in a meaningful way, creating new opportunities for connection, culture, and community life.
As Alta Heights residents, we were saddened by the loss of the River Concert Series, which brought energy, joy, and meaningful revenue to local businesses during the summer. We believe this project has the potential to restore that vitality and create a destination we can all be proud of.
We strongly encourage the City Council to move quickly in approving this project so the community can begin to reap the much-needed benefits as soon as possible. Downtown Napa is ready for its next chapter, and this project is a bold and beautiful step in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Carrie Gorospe

I am writing this letter to show my support for the proposed development the city council will be reviewing. I am a member of the Methodist church committee that will be converting a part of the church property to work force housing. The amount of money the developers will be providing the church allows us to go forward with our plans without endangering the church’s financial position. This , along with the other features of the development make it a worthy addition to downtown Napa.

As the President of an event rental company, I am particularly excited about the spectacular ballroom that's unlike anything else in Napa. A magnificent space like what they are proposing will bring in so many large weddings and corporate events that will help support all our downtown businesses. As a business owner as well as a Napa resident, I’m looking forward to seeing this project come to fruition.
Please support the project and don't delay its many benefits to downtown Napa.

Dear Mayor Sedgley and Honorable City Council Members:
I am writing in support of the First Street Napa - Phase II project you are considering at your meeting on Tuesday June 24, 2025.
I think all of you are familiar with my passion to bring some much needed workforce housing and daycare to downtown Napa at the First United Methodist Church. I have been impressed with 3VG/Coombs St LLC as I(we) were introduced to them by Kevin Teague. Their donation to the First United Methodist Church workforce housing project is a significant commitment to our community and a much needed piece of the funding puzzle to help bring our project to fruition.
I have personally been impressed with 3VG/Coombs St LLC vision for the former Kohls site and they have been sensitive to our local residents and business community as they have incorporated innovative designs with a nod to our past, in the proposed design elements.
I appreciate your work with staff to bring all of the pieces of this project to our community and urge your support for this important development in downtown Napa! Thank you for your consideration.

Mayor Sedgley and City Council Members,
As a five year resident of Napa, I am impressed with the forward-thinking plan for development of the city. The 3GV Napa First Street Project is a significant step toward fulfilling that plan.
Two aspects of the Project are of particular significance to me:
1. The
$450k per year for affordable housing to the city and an additional $2 million toward the Napa First United Methodist Church Workforce Housing Project and
2. The large annual tax revenue that the Project will generate for the City of Napa.
On June 5th I attended the Napa Planning Commission hearing on the 3GV Napa First Street Project.
Most impressive to me was when a business owner, who will be displaced by this Project, gave her wholehearted support to seeing it fulfilled.
Sincerely,
Ken Ehrman

Dear Mayor Sedgley and Napa City Council:
As a mom with young kids I am looking forward to how the Napa First Street project connects and beautifies the pedestrian corridors downtown. Currently we have very few safe indoor spaces to access on hot or rainy days. Once the project is completed, downtown will be safer and more accessible for families to get around away from cars - in all weather conditions. I look forward to going from westside of the First Street mall all the way to the Oxbow Commons while only crossing Main Street with an enhanced crosswalk. It's the way Napa always should have been!
Please vote to approve this project. Thank you for your time.

There is much to admire about the proposed development on First Street, and we are particularly grateful to read about the plan to include “a clear path of travel for…bicyclists through new development, and particularly through parking lots and open spaces” (IS Addendum, p 128). However, though bike parking is mentioned, the plan for the type, quantity, and location of bike parking is unclear. Attachment 15 (parking) contains a detailed plan for vehicle parking, but no similar plan exists for bike parking. The most specific information we could locate—the inclusion of 34 bicycle parking spaces serving the residential units—does not meet the requirements of the California Building Codes that will go into effect on January 1, 2026, which would require, at minimum, 39 long-term parking spaces for 78 units. Further, it is unclear whether the planned parking spaces are short-term or long-term. We have been in touch with City Planning since 2022 with requests to modernize bike parking ordinances, but unfortunately, even with the General Plan’s support for biking, the City has not moved faster than the State. State improvements to bike parking, taking effect January 1, 2026, will require the City to update its ordinances, changing what is currently in place and adding new requirements for multi-family residential developments. The detailed bike parking requirements that will take effect in January are attached. We ask that you direct staff to install bike parking for this project that, at minimum, meets the standards that will be required by the State in January. The State standards include detailed requirements for multi-family housing, hotels, and commercial developments. These standards will best enable the City to meet its Vehicle Miles Traveled goals and the following General Plan policies that we did not see included in staff’s analysis: • “TE 10-4 Continue to support and implement the use of alternative transportation modes to reduce car trips, such as bikeshare, electric bikes, and electric scooters, by providing proper infrastructure such as designated parking areas." P.O. Box 5157 | Napa, CA 94581 | (707) 258-6318 | www.napabike.org • "CCS 2-1 Support programs to reduce autodependency and GHG emissions from personal vehicles. Efforts for this include:...Support programs to install bike racks in new developments, commercial areas, and within Downtown Napa and the Oxbow district." • "TE 7-3 Incorporate design and bicycle parking requirements so that adequate bicycle parking is provided throughout the City." Should Councilmembers or staff have any questions about our requests, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at (707) 258-6318 or at [email protected] or [email protected]. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kara Vernor Executive Director, Napa County Bicycle Coalition Attachments: HCD-04-24-FET-PT11-SOS Filing goes into effect 010126 (See pages 5 – 6) BSC-03-24-FET-PT11-SOS filing - Goes into effect 010126 (See pages 1 – 3)

Statement in Support of Downtown Napa Revitalization Project
Twenty years ago, downtown Napa was quiet—practically closed at night, and even more so on weekends. We’ve worked hard over the years to help make downtown a true destination, and that effort continues regardless of the circumstances. It can be hard for some to remember just how lifeless the area once was. Unfortunately, despite many successes, the demolition of historic buildings in favor of what replaced them remains one of Napa’s greatest planning missteps. That decision created a "dead zone" that disconnected key areas of our downtown, stalling its potential to thrive as a unified whole.
When my son Michael introduced me to 300 Venture Group and their proposal to invest more than $450 million into revitalizing that very area, it felt almost too good to be true. But this is exactly the kind of bold, visionary private investment that downtown Napa desperately needs. I not only fully support this project—I believe anyone who understands Napa’s past and cares about its future should be asking how we can help make it happen.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The City Council, I’m confident, will see the extraordinary value of this project—not just for what it brings architecturally and economically, but for what it represents: a reinvigoration of the heart of our community.
We should all be saying: thank you for choosing Napa.
To those who might oppose it, I would simply say: remember how far we’ve come, and how fragile that progress has been. Opportunities like this do not come often, and hundreds of cities across California—and beyond—would eagerly welcome this caliber of investment and vision.
I’m deeply grateful that this proposal is being brought forward. Let’s not let it slip away.
Let’s come together and ask: How can we help?

Dear Mayor Sedgley and City Council:
I am writing to express my strong support for the First Street Napa Project and to respectfully encourage the Council to approve and advance this important development. This project represents the kind of high-quality hotel and residential investment that downtown Napa needs and will serve as a key component in the continued revitalization of our city’s core.
At a time when Napa—and the broader wine industry—is facing significant challenges both locally and globally, the increased visitation this development is expected to generate will provide meaningful economic stimulus. Moreover, the substantial tax revenue it will bring to the City of Napa, along with its direct investment in affordable housing that results in actual units being built, addresses critical community needs.
I urge you to support the First Street Napa Project and to do everything possible to streamline the remaining permitting steps to ensure this development moves forward without delay.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Debra Dommen

[EXTERNAL]
Dear City Clerk,
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to formally submit the following concerns regarding the proposed project near our business:
1. Patio Area Impact:
Our patio area is a critical part of our business and was recently improved at considerable cost, following city requirements. We’d like to know:
What guarantees are in place to ensure we will retain or be able to rebuild the patio?
If removal is necessary, will the city or developer assist with dismantling and rebuilding?
Can any work involving the patio be scheduled during the off-season and completed as quickly as possible.
If we are required to obtain permits to rebuild our patio area we ask the city work with us to expedite the process. We want avoid long delays and ensure we can restore the patio quickly so our business operations are not disrupted for an extended period.
2. Garbage Area Access and Cleanliness:
We’ve worked hard to maintain the shared garbage area. How will this project affect our access to it and our responsibilities before, during, and after construction?
3. Business Operations and Liability During Construction:
If any damage occurs to our property or operations during the construction process, what protections or compensation policies are in place?
4. Employment Concerns:
Any disruption to our patio and operations could result in a loss of employees and significantly affect our business.
5. Parking and Delivery Access:
The parking lot behind our restaurant is essential for our deliveries and staff. With the proposed changes, we respectfully request one designated parking spaces for our business use to maintain operational continuity we do have storage where we go get things for the restaurant using our personal vehicles.
6. Longstanding Community Support:
Ristorante Allegria has proudly served the Napa community for over 23 years. We’ve consistently supported local schools and nonprofit organizations, and we are deeply committed to continuing that involvement. We are not against this project our main concern is ensuring that this does not negatively impact our business or our employees during construction or after is completed.
We respectfully ask that these concerns be taken into consideration and request written clarification and assurances on how these matters will be handled before, during, and after construction.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
If we can please have this read at the city council meeting tonight that would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Mayor Sedgley and Napa City Council,
As a Napa citizen and business owner, I’m writing to share my strong support for the First Street Napa project. I truly believe this development will play a key role in the continued revitalization of Downtown Napa and help local businesses, both new and long-established to thrive.
We’re incredibly lucky to have owners who believe in Napa and are willing to make such a significant investment in our community. I also appreciate that they’re ready to move forward now, rather than letting the site sit vacant for years like we’ve seen with other key downtown properties.
Please don’t delay this opportunity. This project brings real benefits for Napa residents, businesses, and the future of our downtown.
Sincerely,
Mike Gonzales

Napa City gets a New Face-lift…. Or a Rip off
Chris d Craiker ALA/NCARB
Napa city has always had an identity problem. Its desire to go big and become a tourist attraction has been ingrained it since the 80’s when the Napa Town Center was hailed as the savior of the city’s sluggish downtown. By tearing down many downtown notable buildings to create an open mall with only one anchor tenant, the town fathers vision was to become a magnet for tourists and wine connoisseurs heading up Valley. In those days, many Valley visitors didn’t know there actually was a city named Napa. Grand classical buildings such as the Megliavacca and Carithers were demoed in the name of “Redevelopment”. Todd Zapolski and Trademark Property acquired the property in 2012 and have been slowly transforming the maze into a destination shopping experience. But for 40 years the walkway of shops and restaurants struggled and only now are reaching its original goal.
Residence have been waiting for decades to see Napa’s downtown Dwight Murray Plaza revitalized along with the redevelopment of what used to be called Mervin's department store, now Kohl’s, an reasonable example of Mid-Century Brutalist architecture. The dilapidated Clock Tower that had time right twice a day was razed in 2001. The Square has had multiple artists’ competitions to resuscitate it as the heart and soul of the Downtown. But now, it looks like saving Murray Plaza is the latest lost- cause. A big and highly polished proposal has emerged to wipe this space off the map and out of our hearts.
Say goodbye to Napa Downtown as we once knew it.
On June 5th the Napa City Planning Commission and the public reviewed for the first time- and apparently the last- a massive proposal for significant reconstruction of Downtown Napa. The applicants, PC 300Venture Group and Coombs Street LLC, released for the first time their proposed First Street Napa Phase II for redeveloping
2.85 acres of the city’s core, if not it’s soul, stretching between First, Coombs, Brown and Pearl Streets. The Applicant owns approximately 1.94-acres that includes the former Kohl’s and other users along First Street.
In 2022 Commercial real estate industry veterans Jerry Hunt, Mark Pleis, Howard Overton and Kameron Klotz from Danville launched 3VG, a new, privately held real estate investment, development and advisory company to focus on transforming, underutilized property such as the Napa downtown property. Five years ago, the city made a deal with the applicant to purchase the city owned parking lots, followed last year with an agreement to exchange real estate, allowing the applicant to take over Dwight Murray Plaza. Their current proposal is to create a mixed-use project consisting of 78 high-end condominiums, 161-room luxury hotel and 30,000 square feet of commercial space. Dwight Murray Plaza will be “relocated” and turned into a pedestrian paseo, essentially a narrow alley way. The proposal includes the elimination of two surface parking lots and the redesign area around the 9/11 Memorial, the largest memorial in the West to the tragic event.
In the public hearing, the Commissioners made comments and recommendations. As Commissioner Alex Myers pointed out, multiple issues needed clarification and noted the planning commission only had one shot at this massive proposal. The City Attorney Dan Deporto complained that Mr. Myers questions were inappropriate. The final Commission vote was four in-favor of the massive stack of documents and one vote, Mr.
Myers, against.
This cannot be the last time the Planning Commission and the public get a chance to look, comment and seek modifications, if not denial, of this project.
Let's talk about the process. The Development Agreement is going to be assigned to the City Planning staff for their review only. For such a large project, this is inappropriate.
Granted the staff has worked with the developer for years to assure consistency with the General Plan. I reviewed the attachments and only found one rendering of the First Street six-story hotel. It is mammoth. I know the Planning Department was obligated to accept this skeleton of a proposal but the number of elevations, plans and details shown are well below minimum requirements, for even a simple garage conversion. There are multiple interior renderings of lobbies and multi-story spaces, but they could be New York or Omaha, Nebraska. They lack any relationship to a Napa vernacular.
Not only will Dwight Murray Plaza to be removed, but multiple stores around the Plaza will be closing soon. As noted by the applicant, it took 13 years to get to this point, of which six years were in the planning with vaguely detailed exhibits just now being circulated. It will be another six years before they break ground, let alone get a building permit. In the meantime, multiple spaces will sit vacant, unused. That's all the city needs is to have visitors see closed shops, well into the 2030’s. One restaurant, Allegria will remain but will be overwhelmed by the proposed gigantic adjacent buildings. They will lose their outdoor patio.
One important question is: does Napa need another hotel in downtown Napa? While the revenue to the city for TOT sales and real estate taxes could be significant, hotel occupancies have been dropping as visitors fail to return in the pre-COVID era numbers. Already a number of hotels have been approved but not broken ground. I've been a major supporter of providing more B&B's in the city and I know from experience that their occupancies are down as well as their revenues.
I've discussed with Chuck Shinnamon, a local housing supporter, the housing issue and it's noted that the developers have helped fund the Methodist Church affordable housing project significantly but what happens if it doesn't go forward or is stalled? If the developers were to pay in-lieu fees based on 161 room hotel and a 68 high end condominiums, the fees would probably be significantly higher, but it's all hocus pocus at this time. Mr. Shinnamon points out that studies have shown that up to 50% of hotel employees may qualify for affordable housing. With two-bedroom rental apartments hovering over $2000 a month, shouldn't they be providing employee housing? What about parking? Two lots are going away and the report calls for a “future parking agreement”. The reality is the city will be losing a lot of open parking and maybe….. just maybe…will be replacing them with structured parking somewhere, yet to be determined. Get out your prayer book.
But here is my take: the project is too big, too massive and too unrealistic. This won’t be the first time Napa has looked to a major redevelopment to save its soul. The Napa First Street Mall is just now recovering from decades of mediocrity. The city should never have accepted this bare bones minimal application that does not show the full size, scope or impact on the downtown. The architecture does not embrace our distinctive cultural values.
There is a proposal included for an “advocate committee” to overview the design. Not necessarily a formal design review, but advisory. This sounds like the embryo of a design review board that the city could use. Stay tuned.

Re: First Street Napa; Phase II Design Guidelines
Dear Mayor Sedgely and Councilmembers,
As a long-term advocate for downtown as well as for housing that is affordable, I have concerns as well as positive comments about the proposed project that will encompass the former Kohl’s st ore and adjacent businesses. This is a large and important project, and I am thrilled that the project developers are willing to make a significant investment in our downtown community.
Final Design Review : I concur with the Planning Commission’s recommendations regarding design review. However, public improvements including the arcade and the Brown Street pedestrian areas need to have public input and I recommend that the Council add this requirement. I am all in favor of the full redesign they suggest including an integrated design that runs between Pearl and Third Streets.
Hotel Overload? I reviewed the “Downtown Napa Hotel Analysis” prepared by Economic Forensics and Analytics, Inc. It clearly shows the potential for significant revenue to the City in terms of Transient Occupancy, Sales, and Real Estate taxes. I note that the analysis suggests hotel profitability at 67% occupancy, which used to be considered unprofitable. As our local hotel occupancies continue to fluctuate, are we now in a Zero Sum game in which new hotels are taking guests away from existing hotels without really adding overall room nights in Napa and in our Valley? One of these days, we might have an analysis of the actual need for additional hotels.
Housing: As a housing advocate, I acknowledge and applaud the idea of the developers making a payment to help move the approved Methodist Church housing project forward. Yet, this is the same amount as they would be paying as an ‘in lieu” fee to the City. It is not an extraordinary amount.
The good news is that the funds are going directly to an approved project. Unfortunately, those funds are only a drop in the bucket since no funds will be coming from either the Federal or State for the various affordable housing projects that have been approved in Napa. Without significant local funding, these affordable housing projects will not move forward.
As an exercise, I made the following estimate of what a married couple might make at the hotel using the hourly rates in the Staff Report:
Presume husband (engineer - $28/hr.) plus wife (front office - $20/hr.) = Annual income of $96,000.
Per the City’s 2025 Annual Income Limits, for a family of four they would be at approximately 65% of AMI. Using the City’s “Affordable Rents” document, they could afford to pay approximately $2,500 per month for a three bedroom apartment or about $2,200 / month for a two bedroom apartment. Unless they somehow were able to get into an existing affordable complex, good luck finding a place to live in Napa at those rates.
As optimistic as the Staff Report paints the housing picture for employees, we are not being realistic about employment housing and where these 175 new employees are going to live . The City’s In -Lieu Fee /
First Street Napa ; Design Guidelines
June 24, 2025
Alternate Proposal is woefully inadequate given this large number of employees who will need affordable housing.
I contacted a regional contractor who is currently completing construction of a Four Star hotel near Paso Robles. Based on this very recent experience and his review of the First Street drawings, he estimates that construction costs for the hotel to be in the range of $600 to $700 per square foot. The City’s In-Lieu fee of $6.00/s.f. is de minimis in relation to the costs to build and furnish this hotel. Why are these needed employees given such short shrift for their housing needs? Given the developers’ request for a Development Agreement with “frozen” impact fees and many other concessions, it is entirely reasonable for the Council to ask for commensurate concessions to help with housing costs. I suggest that the Housing Fee have a cap of $20.00/s.f. incorporated into the Alternative Equivalent Proposal. This amount of money would be a substantial help in making sure that the Methodist Church’s housing truly gets built. This is within the range of Housing Fees that Napa County is in the process of reviewing this summer based on appropriate 2025 Nexus Studies that focus on our Napa Valley community.
Public Access Easement tradeoff: I question the way in which the 0.18 acre “public access easement” is being offset. The public is losing a truly public gathering space that has been in use for decades. In its place, the 0.18 acres is being shown as the walkway area between the hotel building and the residence building with retail uses on the ground floor. That means that they are using our “public” space for their own benefit with ready access to their shops. Instead, I suggest that the 0.18 acres be added to the Brown Street corridor for true “public” benefit. This can be done by widening the corridor and taking away a bit of depth from the building footprint.
Parking: As you know, there is a push for increased parking downtown. New garages are incredibly expensive to build. The DA speaks about a future “parking agreement” to be negotiated, primarily for the use of the Pearl Street garage. Let’s make sure that fair compensation is agreed upon at that time for private use of a publicly funded space and that replacement parking is clearly identified elsewhere downtown so as not to impact existing merchants and their clientele.
I applaud and welcome the developers of this significant project in our town. There are many positives about revitalization of this downtown quadrant along with questions that need to be addressed.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Mayor Sedgley and Napa City Council:
As a fifth-generation Napa resident and descendant of Giacomo Migliavacca, who built the original Migliavacca Building on 1st and Brown Street in 1905, I write today in support of the proposed development on this historic site.
While I’ve long felt disappointment that the original Migliavacca Building was lost to downtown's “redevelopment" in the 1970s, I’m heartened to see a thoughtful new project proposed in its place. The renderings reflect a design that echo the architectural character of the original building from the early 1900s, while introducing new dynamic spaces that will serve both residents and visitors. There is a meaningful link between past and future, and I appreciate the developer’s intentional nod to the site’s history.
In addition to its historical sensitivity, the project offers tangible community benefits and major improvements to the surrounding downtown corridors, creating a more walkable and welcoming environment. What makes this project especially compelling is that it’s ready to move forward now — after six years of planning — rather than being delayed, as we’ve seen with other downtown developments.
Thank you for considering this letter of support. It’s been exciting to watch the transformation of Downtown Napa over the years, and I believe this project would be an inspiring and valuable addition to its future. On a personal note, my father (great grandson to Giacomo) passed away in December 2024, and I know the prospect of this project moving forward would have brought a big smile to his face.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Sedgley and City Council,
I am writing today in support of this project. I have seen the design and scope of the project at a presentation from the developers. I think it is thoughtful and a great use of the space.
As we all know Dwight Murray Plaza has been an eye sore for a long time. This redevelopment will improve the overall downtown area for both locals and tourists. It is my opinion that we embrace tourism and use it as a viable source of funds for projects the City of Napa needs.
Having lived in Napa all my life I remember when downtown was dead. There was no one there and nothing to do. Today it is a destination for all of us, locals and tourists. I hope to see more projects like this one that improve our city and allow you as our Council to use the money collected from them for the good of us all.
I sincerely hope that you vote in favor of this project.
Thank you,
Adam

Good day,
I am writing this to advocate for the approval of the hotel project slated for tonight’s hearing.
Ive been a small business owner in downtown Napa for the last eight years. Compline Restaurant in 2017 & Compline Wine Shop in 2022. My business partner and I developed both plans dependent on a strong level of foot traffic in the first st corridor. Since we opened foot traffic and new businesses have been growing at a a very slow rate and have had high turnover. Understandably, businesses hesitate to open with the uncertainty of business growth and viability. The 2030 Downtown plan defines the need for this type of balance in Napa. The businesses in downtown need the support of another hotel.
In addition, after approving these permits please know that faster is better. A project of this size can make a small downtown area feel like chaos if not done at a steady pace complimentary to the needs of other local businesses.
