Napa County meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Napa County agenda roundup: supervisor contracts, an Old Sonoma Road winery hearing and a cancelled Planning Commission

None of the three Napa County meetings covered in this week's roundup has published minutes yet, so this report describes what was on the agendas — not what was decided. No vote tallies were available for any item.

Board of Supervisors, Oct. 13: contract items on the consent calendar

The Board of Supervisors met with a consent calendar that listed several contract and personnel items, including:

• An agreement with Microsoft Corporation for Enterprise Licensing, described as a maximum of $3,736,047.35.

• A 3.25% cost-of-living adjustment for the Law Enforcement and Law Enforcement Supervisory bargaining units.

The agenda summary does not state whether each item was pulled for separate discussion or approved as part of the consent calendar. The Microsoft figure is described in the agenda as a maximum; the others are listed as contract or amendment amounts, not as payments made.

Zoning Administrator, Oct. 7: 5,000-gallon winery off Old Sonoma Road

The Zoning Administrator held a continued hearing — carried over from Sept. 23, 2026 — on a proposed micro-winery and viewshed permit at 4235 Old Sonoma Road. The agenda listed one public hearing item.

The proposal includes Micro-Winery Use Permit P25-00134-UP for a new winery with 5,000-gallon annual production capacity, new production and hospitality/administrative buildings, an unenclosed outdoor pavilion, tours and tastings by appointment only, and on-site consumption. Viewshed Permit P25-00302-VIEW would allow production and accessory buildings and the pavilion on slopes over 15% that are partially visible from Old Sonoma Road, a County-designated Viewshed Road.

The site is three properties totaling approximately 98.99 acres at 4235 Old Sonoma Road, Napa: APNs 047-030-020 (winery), 047-030-028 (driveway) and 047-030-038 (driveway, formerly APNs 047-030-025 and -027). The land is zoned Agricultural Watershed (AW) with a General Plan designation of Agriculture, Watershed and Open Space (AWOS).

Staff recommended adopting a Class 3 categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15303, per Napa County Local Procedure Appendix B, Item No. 10, and approving both permits as conditioned. The agenda states the project is not on a hazardous materials site list under Government Code Section 65962.5. Staff contact is Riley Hebb, Planner II, (707) 299-1334; the applicant contact is Nicolas Messaritis, (415) 357-4400. No outcome was published.

The largest dollar amounts in the supplied records appear on the Board of Supervisors' Oct. 13 agenda.
