Dear Mayor Sedgley and Members of the City Council,
I am sorry I will miss Tuesday’s presentations from the City’s Boards, Committees, and Commissions. While I noticed the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) wasn't listed—and suspect they may be presenting at a later date—I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few brief observations and a proposal.
In my time as a Commissioner, I observed that work plans and agendas tended to be largely staff-driven, with relatively little direction originating from Council. Additionally, I have concerns regarding incumbency. While the City regularly issues broad calls to action urging citizens to get involved—often advertising open positions—incumbents who reapply are almost universally favored. In practice, this leaves virtually no room for new voices. That is a broader conversation for another day, but one well worth keeping in mind as you review commission structures.
Today, however, I want to share an inspiring example of modern municipal governance and ask you to consider how our local advisory bodies might evolve to better reflect and serve our entire community.
Attached is a brief detailing Culver City’s recent unanimous decision to establish a dedicated advisory body focused on the needs of women and girls. Their initiative reflects a growing, forward-thinking trend: intentionally structuring commissions to elevate key demographics and address modern civic needs.
Napa is fortunate to have a Senior Advisory Commission doing essential work for our older adults. Yet, as you review current work plans today, a key gap remains at the other end of the generational spectrum: our working families, young children, and youth.
Following Culver City’s proactive model, I respectfully ask the Council to consider expanding our advisory framework to ensure our younger residents have a structured voice in city governance. Establishing a dedicated Youth and Family Advisory Commission—or creating a targeted, limited-term task force—would provide a vital advocate for key issues like childcare accessibility, teen recreational infrastructure, and stronger city-school district partnerships.
As you hear from our active boards and commissions, I hope you will consider this next step toward keeping Napa vibrant, supportive, and inclusive for our next generation.
With appreciation,
Maureen Trippe

Analysis
Bed and Breakfast Policies
1. On-Site Owner/Manager. The building must be the primary residence of the owner or manager of the bed and breakfast use.
2. Location and Size. Principal and accessory buildings may be used for bed and breakfast guest rooms. The majority of the guest rooms shall be in the principal building.
3. Meals. There shall be only one meal, breakfast, served daily and limited to guests and owner/manager of the bed and breakfast inn.
4. Parking. One parking space shall be provided for the owner/manager's unit and each guest room. On-site parking shall be designed and located to not detract from the residential and historic character of the site's buildings and grounds. Credit may be given in limited instances for on-street parking fronting the structure where a survey documents such parking is available and does not affect adjacent residential uses.
5. Signs. Signs shall be limited to two square feet attached directly to the residential building or structure, unless a sign permit is obtained.
6. Number of Guest Rooms. The number of guest rooms permitted will be determined based on the size of the existing building, grounds and site; the relationship of the site to the character, size and scale of surrounding neighborhood buildings; and visitor access and parking. In general, the number of guest rooms should not exceed 10.
Bed and Breakfast Policies
7. Concentration of Inns. When a new B&B is proposed within 300 feet of another B&B, the decision-making body shall additionally find that the new B&B doesn't harm the character and livability of adjacent residential properties.
8. Design. Rehabilitation Guidelines for Historic Properties contained in the Design Guidelines for the Napa Abajo/Fuller Park Historic District shall be utilized for B&B exterior remodels and additions.
9. Moving Buildings. If a designated historic building is to be moved to a new location for a B&B use, it shall be the centerpiece of the B&B project, front on the main street, and fit with the architectural character of the neighborhood consistent with the residential design guidelines. An exception to these standards may be considered for historic buildings moved to a site that has an existing principal building (ranked a 1 or 2 on the Historic Resources Inventory) already fronting on the main street, and the additional moved building(s) would be compatible with the principal B&B building and the architectural character of the neighborhood.
10. Multifamily Conversion Provisions. Except in the RO district, the provisions of Section 17.52.100(B) shall apply when the project application submitted after the effective date of date of the ordinance codified in this chapter proposes demolition, conversion or partial conversion of a multifamily building to bed and breakfast use, and there is a loss of one or more dwelling units.
11. Single-Family Conversion Provisions. Except in the RO district, housing impact fees per Chapter 15.94 shall be imposed on the portion of the building being used for the B&B.
CEQA
Staff has determined that the Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, which exempts the
operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no
expansion of existing or former use, and Section 15331, which exempts the maintenance, repair, stabilization,
rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner
consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
Use Permit - Findings
A. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, applicable specific plans, the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purposes of the district and overlay district in which the site is located.
B. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, or to the general welfare of the city.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance.
D. Any other applicable findings required under other chapters of this title for the specific use.
Bed and Breakfast Inns - Findings
A. The establishment of the bed and breakfast inn is consistent with General Plan policies regarding historic preservation and regarding the loss of rental units in the housing stock.
B. The bed and breakfast inn use will not be detrimental to the historic or architectural character of the existing building(s).
C. The bed and breakfast use is compatible with and will not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood and surrounding land uses.
D. When a new B&B is proposed within 300 feet of another B&B, the decision- making body shall additionally find that the new B&B doesn't harm the character and livability of adjacent residential properties.
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving a Use Permit to allow the conversion of a Local Landmark property into a four (4) guest room bed and breakfast inn and approving a Certificate of Appropriateness Permit to allow major alterations and restorations of missing historic features on the Local Landmark located at 845 Jefferson Street and determining that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
