RESOLUTION R2026-__
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN AND DETERMINING THAT THE ACTIONS AUTHORIZED BY THIS RESOLUTION ARE EXEMPT FROM CEQA WHEREAS, The CWPP provides a framework for reducing wildfire risk through coordinated actions such as vegetation management, public education, emergency preparedness, and strategic investment in wildfire resilience: and WHEREAS, Napa RCD and the City worked closely with fire and emergency management agencies, public health officials, land managers, and community organizations to create this stakeholder-driven plan, attached as Exhibit “A”; and WHEREAS, The CWPP is intended to guide efforts to reduce both the likelihood and impacts of wildfire through collaboration among residents, agencies, and community partners. Its goals are to increase awareness of wildfire risk, reduce ignitions and hazards, strengthen community preparedness, protect lives and property, and support implementation of priority mitigation projects through coordinated planning and funding opportunities; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter, as presented at the public meetings of the City Council identified herein, including any supporting reports by City Staff, and any information provided during public meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Napa, as follows:
The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.
The City Council hereby determines that the actions authorized by this Resolution are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) and Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the CWPP will not have a significant effect on the environment as the CWPP is a planning study which informs the City of hazard vulnerabilities and possible future actions to mitigate risks, and adoption of the CWPP is not a commitment to any future action, nor is it a decision to approve, adopt, or fund any of the potential mitigation actions identified in the CWPP.
The City Council hereby adopts the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated herein by reference).
This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Napa at a public meeting of said City Council held on the 4th day of August 2026, by the following vote:
