ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map amendments were analyzed in the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Envision Yountville General Plan adopted by the Town Council on January 13, 2026, by Resolution No. 26-4397 pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15164 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
No substantial changes or new information merits subsequent analysis of the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map amendments. To the extent the amendments are a separate project for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), they are exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment. The Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map amendments will align the Yountville Municipal Code and the Envision Yountville General Plan, as amended by the Town Council on January 13, 2026, by Resolution No. 25-4397.
