Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
INTRODUCTION
Established in 1963, Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCO) are responsible
for administering California Government Code Sections 56000 et. seq., which is known
as the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg (CKH) Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000.
CKH charges LAFCO with encouraging the orderly formation and development of local
agencies in a manner that preserves agricultural and open-space lands, promotes the
efficient extension of municipal services, and prevents urban sprawl. Principle duties
include regulating boundary changes through annexations or detachments, approving or
disapproving city incorporations, and forming, consolidating, or dissolving special
districts. LAFCOs are located in all 58 counties in California.
Among LAFCO’s primary planning responsibilities is the determination of a sphere of
influence for each agency under its jurisdiction. California Government Code §56076
defines a sphere as “a plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a
local agency, as determined by the Commission.” LAFCO establishes, amends, and
updates spheres to indicate to local agencies and property owners that, at some future
date, a particular area will likely require the level of services offered by the subject
agency. The sphere designation also indicates to other potential service providers which
agency LAFCO believes to be best situated to offer the services in question. LAFCO is
required to review each agency’s sphere every five years.
In reviewing an agency’s sphere, the Commission is required to consider and prepare
written statements addressing four factors enumerated under California Government
Code §56425(e). These factors are identified below.
• The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-
space lands.
• The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area.
• The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the
agency provides or is authorized to provide.
• The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the
commission determines that they are relevant to the agency.
In addition, when reviewing a sphere for an existing special district, the Commission
must also do the following:
• Require the existing district to file a written statement with the Commission
specifying the functions or classes of services it provides.
• Establish the nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services
provided by the existing district.

Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
To help ensure that the Commission is well informed when reviewing a sphere, LAFCO
is required to conduct a service review on the subject agency. The service review is a
comprehensive evaluation of the subject agency’s ability to provide service within a
geographic area designated by LAFCO. This includes preparing written determinations
addressing nine specific service factors enumerated under California Government Code
§56430. These determinations, which range from infrastructure needs or deficiencies to
government structure options, must be adopted by the Commission before the sphere
review of the subject agency.
Napa Sanitation District
In October 2005, LAFCO of Napa County issued the first phase of its Comprehensive
Study of Sanitation/Wastewater Treatment Providers. This initial phase was prepared for
the Commission by Cotton/Bridges/Associates and included service review profiles for
the 10 agencies providing public sewer services in Napa County, including the Napa
Sanitation District (NSD).1 Based on the service review profile on NSD, LAFCO
initiated the second phase of the study and prepared written determinations on the
District. These written determinations were adopted by the Commission at its April 3,
2006 regular meeting.2 In adopting written determinations, the Commission fulfilled its
service review requirement for NSD.
This report represents the sphere review of NSD. The report summarizes the primary
planning factors used by the Commission in establishing the NSD sphere as well as in
approving subsequent amendments. The report also outlines and evaluates the criteria
used in establishing five distinct study categories for consideration as part of this review.
These study categories represent areas that comprise specific boundary line and land use
criterion. Recommendations are offered for each study category.
The preparation of this sphere review and its recommendations are based on information
collected and analyzed as part of the aforementioned Comprehensive Study of
Sanitation/Treatment Providers and is incorporated by reference. Written statements
addressing the four factors enumerated under California Government Code §56425(e)
that the Commission must consider when making a sphere determination will be prepared
as part of a separate resolution.
1 A review of NSD’s reclamation services was included as part of the Commission’s Comprehensive Water Service Study.
Written determinations addressing NSD’s reclamation services were adopted by the Commission on October 11, 2003
(LAFCO Resolution No. 03-29).

Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
OVERVIEW
NSD was formed in 1945 to provide public sewer service for the City of Napa (Napa) and
the surrounding unincorporated area of Napa County. The formation of NSD followed an
agreement between Napa and the County of Napa (County) to coordinate public sewer
provision for the purpose of serving existing and planned urban development in south
Napa County. NSD began providing sewer service following the construction of its first
collection and treatment facility in 1949.3 NSD presently provides sewer service to most
of Napa along with several surrounding unincorporated developments, including the
Silverado County Club and Estates, Chardonnay and Eagle Vines Golf Clubs, Napa State
Hospital, and the Napa County Airport. In all, NSD currently serves 33,712 service
connections within an estimated resident service population of 78,529.4

to the master plan to codify service plans and
objectives through 2030. The update will include a technical analysis of NSD’s sewer
capacities and will incorporate projected service demands drawn from the Napa General
Plan (1998) and the current update to the County General Plan.
Adoption of Sphere of Influence
NSD’s sphere was adopted by LAFCO in 1975. Principal planning factors used by the
Commission in establishing the location of the sphere included recognizing the service
capabilities of NSD and the adopted policies of Napa and the County with respect to
existing and planned urban development. Notably, in addition to including the entire
jurisdictional boundary of the NSD, the Commission designated the sphere to closely
reflect Napa’s adopted urban growth boundary referred to as the “Rural-Urban Limit”
(RUL) line.5 The sphere also included territory located outside the Napa RUL to
recognize existing outside service provision for Kaiser Steel and the Napa State Hospital.
The sphere was also configured to reflect available sewer capacity within the “Milliken
Creek – McKinley Road” area.6
3 NSD expanded its operations in the early 1980s to include restricted (secondary) reclaimed water service for irrigation on
non-domestic crops. These reclamation services were expanded in the late 1990s to include unrestricted (tertiary) reclaimed
water for irrigation of domestic crops as well as for parks, golf courses, and certain industrial and commercial uses.
4 Projection based on the 2005 California Department of Finance population per household estimate (2.62) assigned to Napa
County and multiplied by the number of residential sewer connections within NSD (29,973).
5 A notable exception of land inside the Napa RUL that was not included into the NSD sphere involved an approximate 900-
acre incorporated area commonly referred to as “Stanly Ranch.” It appears that Stanly Ranch was excluded from the sphere
for consistency with an earlier determination by the Commission to exclude the area from the Napa sphere as part of a
policy statement against its urban development.
6 LAFCO removed the Milliken-Creek-McKinley Road area from the NSD sphere in 1976 at the request of property owners.

Amendments to Sphere of Influence
LAFCO has adopted 30 amendments to the NSD sphere since 1975. The majority of
these amendments have involved territory located in the Napa RUL. The remaining
portion of these amendments have primarily involved unincorporated territory located
south of the Soscol Ridge and north of the City of American Canyon, including the Napa
County Airport and surrounding industrial area.7 Nearly all of these amendments have
been engendered by property owners as part of concurrent annexation proposals to the
NSD to serve existing or planned residential or industrial development.

7 The Napa County Airport and surrounding industrial area were included into the NSD sphere as part of three separate
amendments between 1988 and 1993. In amending the sphere to include these areas, the Commission designated Fagan
Creek as the southern boundary line for NSD. This designation recognized a formal agreement between NSD and the
American Canyon County Water District (merged with the City of American Canyon upon its incorporation in 1992) to use
the creek as the boundary line between their respective service areas.

Current Boundaries
NSD’s sphere encompasses approximately 14,744 total acres and includes 25,276
parcels.8 Of this amount, approximately 13,183 total acres and 25,034 parcels are located
inside the NSD jurisdictional boundary. This differential indicates that there are
approximately 1,561 total acres (11%) and 242 parcels (10%) located inside the NSD
sphere, but outside its jurisdictional boundary.

DISCUSSION
The underlying objective of this report is to identify and evaluate areas that warrant
consideration for inclusion or removal from the NSD sphere as part of a comprehensive
review. In the course of identifying areas to evaluate, staff has placed an emphasis on
consistency between the NSD sphere and the Napa and County General Plans with
respect to planned urban development. This approach is consistent with CKH and the
Commission’s “General Policy Determinations,” which were last revised in 2001.
Consideration is also given to the service capacity of NSD, which is drawn from
information collected and analyzed as part of the Comprehensive Study of
Sanitation/Wastewater Providers.

Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
As noted earlier, California Government Code §56076 defines a sphere as “the probable
physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by the
Commission.” Underscoring this definition is the tenet that the sphere promote the
orderly development of an agency and its services while protecting against the premature
conversion of agricultural and open-space lands. This includes encouraging the logical
development of an agency to advantageously provide for the present and future needs of
the community. The Commission’s General Policy Declarations emphasizes its
commitment to these concepts and includes a policy statement that urban development
and services be located in areas designated for urban use in the County General Plan.
The General Policy Declarations also state the Commission shall utilize the County
General Plan to determine agricultural or open-space lands designations.
California Government Code requires that LAFCO, as necessary, review each agency’s
sphere every five years. It has been the practice of this Commission to establish a sphere
for the subject agency that emphasizes a probable five-year service area.
STUDY CATEGORIES
Five study categories have been developed as part of this comprehensive sphere review.
These study categories represent areas that comprise specific boundary line and land use
criterion. Four of the five study categories represent areas that are located outside the
existing NSD sphere. These study categories are identified as Study Categories “A,”
“B,” “C,” and “E” and are evaluated to consider the merits of their inclusion into the
sphere. A fifth study category, which is identified as Study Category “D,” represents an
area already inside the existing NSD sphere. This study category is evaluated to consider
the merits of its removal from the sphere.
Each study category is generally described in terms of size, location, and current land
uses. Other factors addressed include the land use designations of the affected territory
and the consistency between the planned uses as identified in the Napa and County
General Plans. Land use densities for affected territory are also provided. Densities for
the County are identified under its zoning standards with respect to minimum parcel
sizes; the County does not specify maximum parcel sizes. Maximum densities for Napa
are identified under its land use designation, while its zoning standards provide
specificity regarding minimum parcel sizes.
As part of this review, LAFCO has relied on two distinct methods to identify land use
designations for Napa and the County. Land use designations for Napa are identified
using the land use map adopted as part of its General Plan, which is parcel-specific. Land
use designations for the County are identified using its adopted zoning standards, which
are also parcel-specific. The decision to use zoning standards to identify land use
designations for the County is based on the recommendation of its Planning Department
and is drawn from the lack of parcel-specificity associated with the land use map adopted
as part of the County General Plan.

Study Category A
(Emphasis reflects areas that are outside the NSD sphere, but inside the Napa sphere)
This study category consists of 175 parcels representing approximately 1,370 acres. It
comprises 14 distinct incorporated and unincorporated areas that are located outside the
NSD sphere and jurisdictional boundary, but inside the Napa sphere and RUL. A
summary of each area is as follows:
Area A-1: This area includes two incorporated parcels located near the eastern
terminus of Los Robles Drive east of its intersection with Quarry
Drive. It is approximately 11 acres in size and is comprised of single-
family residences. As land use authority, Napa designates the area
Single-Family Residential – 183 with a maximum density of five units
per acre. Napa has also zoned the area Residential Single – 20, which
requires a minimum parcel density of 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres).
These assignments are consistent with the County General Plan, which
designates the area as Cities with no zoning standard.

has also zoned and prezoned the entire area with two residential-single
standards that require minimum parcel densities ranging from 10,000
square feet (0.23 acres) to 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres). These
assignments are consistent with the County General Plan, which
designates the entire area (unincorporated and incorporated) Cities
with a combination zoning standard of Residential-Single: Urban
Reserve for all five unincorporated parcels.9 This zoning standard
requires a minimum parcel density of 0.18 acres.
Area A-5: This area includes one incorporated parcel located along the northern
side of Trancas Street at its intersection with Silverado Trail. It is
approximately 4.95 acres in size and is undeveloped. As land use
authority, Napa designates the area Greenbelt – 98 with a maximum
density of one unit per existing parcel or one unit per 20 acres by use
permit. Napa has also zoned the area Agricultural Resource, which
does not require a minimum parcel density. These assignments are
consistent with the County General Plan, which designates the area
Agricultural Resource with no zoning standard.
Area A-6: This area includes five incorporated parcels located along the northern
side of Trancas Street across from the northern terminus of Soscol
Avenue. It is approximately 1.85 acres in size and is comprised of
commercial uses. As land use authority, Napa designates the area
Community Commercial – 443 with a maximum density of 0.4 floor
area ratio of the total gross square feet. Napa has also zoned the area
Community Commercial, which does not specify a minimum parcel
density. These assignments are consistent with the County General
Plan, which designates the area Cities with no zoning standard.
Area A-7: This area includes five unincorporated parcels located along the
western side of Big Ranch Road north of its intersection with Trancas
Street. It is approximately 8.16 acres in size and is comprised of
single-family residences. As land use authority, the County designates
the area Cities with a combination zoning standard of Residential
Country: Urban Reserve, which requires a minimum parcel density of
10 acres. These assignments are consistent with the Napa General
Plan, which designates the area with a mixture of single-family
residential uses that have maximum densities ranging from two to four
units per acre. Napa has also prezoned the area with three types of
residential-single standards that require minimum parcel densities
ranging from 5,000 square feet (0.11 acres) to 20,000 square feet (0.46
acres).
9 The County does not assign zoning standards to the three incorporated parcels comprising the area.
10
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Area A-8: This area includes seven unincorporated parcels located along the
western side of Big Ranch Road south of its intersection with El
Centro Avenue. It is approximately 61 acres in size and is comprised
of single-family residences, planted acreage, and undeveloped uses.
As land use authority, the County designates the area Cities with a
combination zoning standard of Residential Country: Urban Reserve,
which requires a minimum parcel density of 10 acres. These
assignments are consistent with the Napa General Plan, which
designates the area with a mixture of single-family residential uses that
have maximum densities ranging from two to six units per acre. Napa
has also prezoned the area with five types of residential-single
standards that require minimum parcel densities ranging from 5,000
square feet (0.11 acres) to 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres).
Area A-9: This area includes 45 unincorporated and 21 incorporated parcels
located along Redwood Road near its intersection with Forest Drive.
It is approximately 60.25 acres in size and is predominately comprised
of single-family residences. The County designates the entire area
(unincorporated and incorporated) Cities with two types of
combination zoning standards for the unincorporated parcels:
Residential County: Urban Reserve and Residential Single: Urban
Reserve. These zoning standards require minimum parcel densities of
10 and 0.18 acres, respectively.10 These assignments are consistent
with the Napa General Plan, which designates the entire area
(incorporated and unincorporated) with a mixture of single-family
residential uses that have maximum densities ranging from two to five
units per acre. Napa has also zoned and prezoned the entire area with
three residential-single standards that require minimum parcel
densities ranging from 10,000 square feet (0.23 acres) to 40,000 square
feet (0.92 acres).
Area A-10: This area includes two incorporated parcels located at the northern
terminus of Borrette Lane north of its intersection with Tonya Lane. It
is approximately 7.65 acres in size and is comprised of single-family
residences and planted acreage. As land use authority, Napa
designates the area Single-Family Residential - 40 with a maximum
density of two units per acre. Napa has also zoned the area Residential
Single - 40, which requires a minimum parcel density of 40,000 square
feet (0.92 acres). These assignments are consistent with the County
General Plan, which designates the area Cities with no zoning
standard.
10 The County does not assign zoning standards to the 21 incorporated parcels comprising the area.
11
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Area A-11: This area includes three unincorporated parcels located along the
eastern side of Partrick Road near its intersection with Borrette Lane.
It is approximately 1.84 acres in size and is comprised of single-family
residences. As land use authority, the County designates the area
Cities with a combination zoning standard of Residential Country:
Urban Reserve, which requires a minimum parcel density of 10 acres.
This zoning assignment is consistent with the Napa General Plan,
which designates the area Single-Family Residential – 40 with a
maximum density of two units per acre. Napa has also prezoned the
area Residential Single – 40, which requires a minimum parcel density
of 40,000 square feet (0.92 acres).
Area A-12: This area includes eight incorporated parcels located south of Browns
Valley Road in proximity to its intersection with Thompson Avenue.
It is approximately 133.48 acres in size and is comprised of single-
family residences, planted acreage, open space, and a citywide park
(Westwood Hills). As land use authority, Napa designates a mixture
of uses for the area, including Single-Family Residential – 42, Public
Serving – 823 and 860, and Resource Area – 116. The two public
serving designations require maximum floor area ratios ranging from
0.1 to 0.4 of the total gross square feet, while the single-family
residential designation requires a maximum density of four units per
acre. The resource area designation requires a maximum density of
one unit per existing parcel or one unit per 20 acres by use permit.
Napa’s zoning standards for the area include Residential-Single – 7
and 40, Park and Open Space, and Agricultural Resource. These
residential zoning standards require minimum parcel densities of 7,000
and 40,000 square feet (0.16 and 0.92 acres), respectively. Neither
non-residential zoning standard requires minimum parcel densities.
These assignments are consistent with the County General Plan, which
designates the area Cities with no zoning standard.
Area A-13: This area includes 31 incorporated and 16 unincorporated parcels
located along the western and eastern sides of Foster Road south of its
intersection with Imola Avenue. It is approximately 186.98 acres in
size and is comprised of single-family residences, grazing fields,
auxiliary animal facilities, and undeveloped uses. Napa assigns four
designations for the area that include Single-Family Residential – 128,
Single-Family Infill – 130, Multi-Family Residential – 129, and
Corporate Park – 671. The three residential designations provide a
maximum density of two (single-family), eight (single-infill), and 20
(multi-family) units per acre, while the corporate designation allows
for a maximum floor area ration of 0.25 of the total gross square feet.
Napa has also zoned and prezoned the area with two standards,
Residential-Single – 40 and Master Plan. The residential standard
requires a minimum parcel density of 40,000 square feet (0.92 acres),
12
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
while the master plan standard denotes that Napa must first approve a
master or specific plan detailing land use and infrastructure standards
prior to approving any development projects. These assignments are
consistent with the County General Plan, which designates the area
Cities with two combination zoning standards for the unincorporated
parcels: Residential Single: Urban Reserve and Agricultural
Watershed: Urban Reserve. These standards require minimum parcel
densities of 8,000 square feet (0.18 acres) and 160 acres, respectively.
Area A-14: This area includes 19 incorporated parcels located south of the Soscol
Ridge and partially bisected by State Highway 29. It is approximately
874.7 acres in size and is predominately comprised of vineyards and
open-space uses. As land use authority, Napa designates the majority
of the area Resource Area – 210 with a maximum density of one unit
per existing parcel or one unit per 20 acres by use permit. This area is
zoned Agricultural Resource. The remaining portion of the area not
designated Resource Area consists of a 2.6 acre parcel designated
Public Serving – 922, which requires a maximum floor area ratio of
0.4 of the total gross square feet. This parcel is adjacent to Golden
Gate Drive and is zoned Park/Open Space. Neither zoning standard in
the area requires a minimum parcel density. These assignments are
consistent with the County General Plan, which designates the entire
area Cities with no zoning standard.
* A map depicting Study Category A is provided in Map One.
Analysis:
The majority of the study category is designated for an urban use by both Napa and the
County as the affected land use authorities. Areas within the study category that are not
designated for an urban use by the affected land use authority include A-5 and A-14.
These areas are both incorporated and designated by Napa as Greenbelt and Resource
Area, respectively. The remaining areas in the study category are generally designated
for residential use by Napa and the County. Additionally, most of the unincorporated
areas are assigned an overlay zoning standard by the County of Urban Reserve, which
specifies that no additional development be allowed without annexation to Napa.
Conclusion:
With the exception of A-5 and the southeastern portion of A-12, inclusion of the study
category into the NSD sphere is appropriate at this time. Inclusion would promote
planned and orderly service provision for NSD in a manner that is consistent with the
adopted land use policies of both Napa and the County. Inclusion would also provide for
greater consistency between the policies of Napa, County, and LAFCO in terms of
coordinating planned urban development. In addition, inclusion would be consistent with
the past practice of the Commission to include territory located within the Napa RUL.

Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
It is important to note that one of the areas in the study category recommended for
inclusion into the NSD sphere is designated for a non urban use by Napa as the affected
land use authority. This area, which is identified as A-14, is commonly referred to as
Stanly Ranch and is designated by Napa as Resource Area with a zoning standard of
Agricultural Resource. In 2003, Napa approved a subdivision for the area with the
underlying project including the preservation of existing vineyards and open-space along
with the development of a number of small wineries. Since these wineries will produce
wastewater, and in recognition that water service is already provided to the area by Napa,
staff believes that the extension of sewer – at a level contemplated by Napa – is
consistent with the current and planned uses of the area and would not induce unplanned
growth. It is also noteworthy that the extension of sewer to the area would likely be
accompanied by the delivery of reclaimed water by NSD. If established, the extension of
reclaimed water to the area could serve as a catalyst to extend reclamation services to
adjacent agricultural lands, including the Carneros region.11
With respect to the two areas in the study category not recommended for inclusion into
the NSD sphere, both areas (A-5 and the southeastern portion of A-12) are incorporated
and have existing and planned uses that are not consistent with the extension of sewer.
A-5 consists of an undeveloped parcel and is designated by Napa as Greenbelt with a
zoning standard of Agricultural Resource. The southeastern portion of A-12 consists of
two parcels comprising a citywide park and dedicated open-space. Napa designates both
parcels as Public Serving with zoning standards of Agricultural Resource and
Park/Open-Space. Based on the current and planned uses, the extension of sewer to these
areas would promote an urban use not contemplated by the land use authority.12
Recommendation: Staff recommends inclusion of the study category into the
NSD sphere as part of this comprehensive review with the
exception of A-5 and the southeastern portion of A-12. The
portion of A-12 not recommended for inclusion into the NSD
sphere is identified by the affected assessor parcel numbers:
050-270-014 and 050-320-017.
Study Category B
(Emphasis reflects areas that are inside the NSD jurisdiction, but outside its sphere)
This study category consists of nine parcels representing approximately 602 acres. It
comprises two distinct unincorporated areas that are located outside the NSD sphere as
well as outside the Napa sphere and RUL, but inside NSD’s jurisdictional boundary. A
summary of each area is as follows:
11 Approximately 5,700 acres in the Carneros region are in the Los Carneros Water District (LCWD). LCWD was formed in
1978 for the purpose of facilitating an agreement with NSD for the delivery of reclaimed water for agricultural use.
Although various proposed reclamation projects have been considered with NSD over the past 25 years, none have been
implemented and the District remains dormant. A principle constraint in establishing reclaimed water service remains the
cost of infrastructure – specifically the cost of constructing a pipeline underneath the Napa River.
12 A portion of the citywide park is already in the sphere and jurisdictional boundary of the NSD. This portion is identified by
its assessor parcel number: 050-270-012.

Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Area B-1: This area includes three unincorporated parcels located along the
southern side of Hedgeside Avenue east of its intersection with
McKinley Road. It is approximately 20.23 acres in size and consists
of single-family residences. As land use authority, the County
designates the area Rural Residential with a zoning standard of
Residential Country, which requires a minimum parcel density of 10
acres. The area is not designated or prezoned by Napa.
Area B-2: This area includes six unincorporated parcels located along the
southern side of Jameson Canyon Road (Highway 12) near its
intersection with South Kelly Road. It is approximately 582.10 acres
in size and primarily consists of the Eagle Vines and Chardonnay Golf
Courses. As land use authority, the County designates the area
Industrial with a combination zoning standard of Agricultural
Watershed – Airport Compatibility, which requires a minimum parcel
density of 160 acres. The area is not designated or prezoned by Napa.
* A map depicting Study Category B is provided in Map One.
Analysis:
The entire study category is designated for an urban use by the County as the affected
land use authority. The areas comprising the study category were both annexed to NSD
based on special circumstances and have established sewer service. B-1 was annexed as
part of two separate proposals. The last annexation occurred in 2003 and was approved
by the Commission in recognition of NSD’s policy to allow connections to the sewer
system for parcels that are contiguous to its “Milliken Creek” trunk line.13 (Staff did not
recommend a concurrent sphere amendment for this proposal based on the appearance
that the property was designated for agricultural use by the County. As part of this
review, the County has informed LAFCO that parcels zoned Residential County are
designated Rural Residential. This zoning standard applies to the subject area). B-2 was
annexed as part of one proposal in 2003 in recognition of existing service provision; a
portion of the area had already established service through an out-of-agency agreement
dating back to the early 1980s. As part of the proposal, staff recommended that a
concurrent sphere amendment be approved. However, the Commission decided against
modifying the sphere due to concerns of inducing a change of urban use for the area.
Conclusion:
Inclusion of the study category into the NSD sphere is appropriate at this time. Inclusion
would recognize the current delivery of sewer service and promote the planned and
orderly development of NSD by modifying the sphere to become congruent with its
jurisdictional boundary. This would be consistent with the past practice of the
Commission to emphasize the availability and delivery of sewer service in determining
the location of the NSD sphere. Inclusion would also be consistent with recent
amendments to California Government Code emphasizing that urban services be limited
to areas located within the affected agency’s sphere.
13 The first annexation involving B-1 occurred in 1971. NSD’s sphere was not established until 1975.
15
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
There are two contextual issues that the Commission should consider with regard to
staff’s recommendation. First, the inclusion of B-1 would create a new “island” sphere
boundary line for NSD. This is inconsistent with the Commission’s adopted policy to
establish only one sphere boundary line for each special district. However, in addition to
recognizing that the current sphere boundary already comprises three non-contiguous
areas, staff believes that deference should be assigned to recognizing existing service
provision. Second, in approving the annexation of B-2 in 2003, the Commission decided
against approving a concurrent sphere amendment due to concerns of inducing a change
in urban use for the area. It appears that this concern is adequately addressed by the
current zoning standard (Agricultural Watershed: Airport Compatibility), which makes
future development of the area to a more urbanized use unlikely.
Recommendation: Staff recommends inclusion of the study category into the NSD
sphere as part of this comprehensive review.
Study Category C
(Emphasis reflects areas that are outside both the NSD sphere and Napa sphere, but
designated for an urban use by the County)
This study category comprises unincorporated territory that is located outside the NSD
sphere and jurisdictional boundary as well as outside the Napa sphere and RUL, but
designated for an urban use by the County. The study category is treated as one distinct
area for the purposes of this review and includes Coombsville and the Big Ranch Road-El
Centro Avenue and Milliken Creek-Monticello Road areas.
* A map depicting Study Category C is provided in Map One.
Analysis:
The entire study category is designated for an urban use by the County as the affected
land use authority. The majority of the study category is designated by the County as
Rural Residential with a zoning standard of Residential County, which requires a
minimum parcel density of 10 acres. The prevailing use in the study category is low
density residential. Notable exceptions include two moderately dense residential
subdivisions in the Milliken Creek-Monticello Road area that are zoned Residential
Single, which requires a minimum parcel density of 0.18 acres.14 The study category also
includes a sizable area south of the Napa State Hospital designated and zoned by the
County as Industrial.
14 These subdivisions along with a number of adjacent parcels in the Milliken Creek-Monticello Road area receive water
service from Napa. Napa permits outside water service under its Policy Resolution No. 7, which allows the Public Works
Director to authorize service for single-family residences that are contiguous to a public right-of-way that includes an
existing water line and was of legal record as of December 31, 1982.
16
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
The inclusion of the study category into the NSD sphere is consistent with California
Government Code and the Commission’s General Policy Declarations.15 A key factor
supporting inclusion includes recognizing that the study category is designated for an
urban use (Rural Residential or Industrial) by the County as the affected land use
authority. Consequently, the extension of sewer service would not promote the
premature conversion of designated agricultural or open-space lands. It is also
reasonable to expect that the extension of sewer into the study category would help
address a growing concern about septic systems polluting local groundwater basins.
However, the determination of whether the inclusion of the study category into the NSD
sphere is appropriate is a policy decision for the Commission. Underlying this policy
decision is the issue of growth inducement and whether the extension of sewer service is
appropriate with the present and planned uses in the study category.
It is reasonable to expect that the extension of the NSD sphere and its sewer services into
the study category would induce greater sized lots through the ministerial approval of
building permits. The inducement of greater sized lots would create a variable for NSD
with respect to quantifying potential service demands. However, staff does not believe
that the inducement of one permissible use to another permissible use under the same
land use authority is the purview of LAFCO. With regard to inducing new development,
the extension of sewer service does remove an obstacle to the intensification of uses, but
it does not necessarily produce greater densities The decision to change zoning densities
.
remains the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors
.
California Government Code and the Commission’s General Policy Declarations
emphasize land use designations in considering whether changes in jurisdictional and
sphere boundaries are appropriate with present and planned uses. As noted, the present
and planned uses in the study category are designated urban by the County. The County
has not indicated that reclassification of the study category into a non-urban use is a
consideration of the current General Plan update.
In the course of preparing this review, Napa and the County have expressed general
concern regarding the potential extension of the NSD sphere into the study category.
Both agencies believe that the extension of sewer services into the study category is
generally inconsistent with present and planned uses and would be growth inducing.16
Both agencies have also stated that infrastructure planning associated with the extension
of the NSD sphere should follow the completion of the County General Plan update. The
County has requested that LAFCO defer consideration of any modifications to the NSD
sphere involving this study category until the General Plan update is near completion.
15 The Commission’s General Policy Declarations states that that location and character of a special district sphere should be
responsive to its existing and planned service facilities within a ten year period. Currently, NSD does not have existing or
planned facilities to serve the majority of the study category with the exception of a limited number of parcels in the
Milliken Creek-Monticello Road area. However, as part of its current master plan update, NSD has begun to develop
computer models to project infrastructure requirements to serve the study category. The information developed from the
computer modeling will help inform NSD in preparing a capital improvement schedule for the study category in the event it
is added to the sphere.
16 Both agencies have advised LAFCO that they believe sewer service appears appropriate for two specific areas within the
study category. One of these areas is commonly referred to as the “Syar/Pacific Coast Property” and is located south of the
Napa State Hospital. The second area comprises a small number of parcels located along Monticello Road that have been
zoned by the County for affordable housing.
17
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Conclusion:
The expansion of the NSD sphere to include the study category is consistent with
California Government Code and the Commission’s General Policy Declarations. The
determination of whether the inclusion of the study category into the sphere is
appropriate is a policy decision for the Commission. Underlying this policy decision is
the issue of growth inducement and whether the extension of sewer service is appropriate
with the present and planned uses in the study category.
Recommendation: The Commission has chosen to honor the request of the
County to defer consideration of this study category until the
County General Plan is updated. Once the update is
completed, staff will complete its analysis and offer
recommendations on the study category for consideration by
the Commission. In the interim, staff recommends that the
Commission not accept sphere amendment proposals for
areas located in the study category unless it is response to a
public health concern or other special circumstance.
Study Category D
(Emphasis reflects areas that are inside the NSD sphere, but outside its jurisdiction and
the Napa sphere, and designated for non-urban development by the County)
This study category comprises one distinct unincorporated area consisting of four
unincorporated parcels located on the western side of Silverado Trail across from its
intersection with Hagan Road. The study category is located inside the NSD sphere, but
outside its jurisdictional boundary as well as outside the Napa sphere and RUL, and
designated for a non-urban use by the County. It is approximately 19.1 acres in size and
is comprised of single-family residences, planted acreage, and undeveloped uses.
* A map depicting Study Category D is provided in Map One.
Analysis:
As land use authority, the County designates the affected territory Agricultural Resource
with a zoning standard of Agricultural Preserve, which requires a minimum parcel
density of 40 acres. These assignments are consistent with the Napa General Plan, which
designates the affected territory Greenbelt with no zoning standard. None of the four
parcels comprising the study category receive sewer service from NSD.
Conclusion:
Removal of the study category from the NSD sphere is appropriate at this time. Removal
would encourage orderly urban service provision for NSD in a manner that is consistent
with the adopted land use policies of the County and Napa. Removal would also provide
for greater consistency between the policies of the County, Napa, and LAFCO in terms of
guiding urban development away from designated agricultural and open-space lands.
18
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Recommendation: Staff recommends removal of the study category from the NSD
sphere as part of this comprehensive review.
Study Category E
(Emphasis reflects areas that LAFCO and/or NSD staff have received inquiries from
property owners with respect to amending the NSD sphere to facilitate annexation)
This study category consists of 290 parcels representing approximately 731 acres. It
comprises five distinct unincorporated areas that are located outside the NSD sphere and
jurisdictional boundary as well as outside the Napa sphere and RUL. This study category
reflects areas that LAFCO or NSD staff have received inquiries on over the last several
years with respect to possible inclusion into the sphere to facilitate annexation. A
summary of each area is as follows:
Area E-1: This area includes one unincorporated parcel located along the
southern side of El Centro Avenue east of its intersection with
Solomon Avenue. It is approximately 2.02 acres in size and is
comprised of a single-family residence. Its western and southern
border is directly adjacent to the existing NSD sphere as well as the
Napa sphere and RUL. As land use authority, the County designates
the area Rural Residential with a zoning standard of Residential
County, which requires a minimum parcel density of 10 acres. The
area is not designated or prezoned by Napa.
Area E-2: This area includes 218 unincorporated parcels generally located along
the southern side of Monticello Road in between Napa and the
Silverado Estates. It is approximately 253.35 acres in size and is
generally comprised of a single-family residence. The area is located
in between two non-contiguous NSD sphere boundaries. As land use
authority, the County designates the area Rural Residential with one of
two zoning standards: Residential County or Residential Single.17
These zoning standards specify a minimum parcel density of 10 and
0.18 acres, respectively. The area is not designated or prezoned by
Napa.
Area E-3: This area includes one unincorporated parcel located along the western
side of Solano Avenue north of its intersection with Oak Knoll
Avenue. It is approximately 3.54 acres in size is comprised of a
mixture of commercial uses. It is located approximately 1,800 feet
north of the existing NSD sphere that comprises the northern boundary
line of Napa and its RUL. As land use authority, the County
designates the area Agricultural Resource with a zoning standard of
Commercial Limited, which requires a minimum parcel density of one
acre or one-half acre if public water or sewer is available. The area is
not designated or prezoned by Napa.
17 Three of the parcels located within E-2 also have an overlay zoning standard of Affordable Housing.
19
Napa Sanitation District – Sphere of Influence Review LAFCO of Napa County
Area E-4: This area includes 58 unincorporated parcels located along the
southern side of Orchard Avenue east of Dry Creek Road. It is
approximately 436.44 acres in size and is comprised of single-family
residences, planted acreage, or undeveloped uses. Its eastern and
southern border is directly adjacent to the existing NSD sphere as well
as Napa and its RUL. As land use authority, the County designates the
area Agricultural Resource with a zoning standard of Agricultural
Preserve, which requires a minimum parcel density of 40 acres. The
area is not designated or prezoned by Napa.
Area E-5: This area includes 12 unincorporated parcels located along the
northwestern side of North Kelly Road near its intersection with
Highway 29. It is approximately 35.88 acres in size and is generally
comprised of single-family residences. This area is directly north of
the existing NSD sphere. As land use authority, the County designates
the area as Agriculture Watershed and Open-Space with a zoning
standard of Agricultural Watershed: Airport Compatibility. This
zoning standard requires a minimum parcel density of 160 acres. The
area is not designated or prezoned by Napa.
* A map depicting Study Category E is provided in Map Two.
Analysis:
Three-fifths of the study category (E-3, E-4, and E-5) is designated for a non-urban use
by the County as the affected land use authority. The remaining two areas (E-1 and E-2)
overlap with Study Category C.
Conclusion:
Inclusion of E-3, E-4, and E-5 into the NSD sphere is not appropriate at this time.
Inclusion would promote the extension of an urban service in a manner that is not
contemplated by the affected land use authority. Inclusion would also be inconsistent
with the adopted policy of the Commission to guide urban services away from
agricultural or open-space designated lands. The remaining areas that comprise this
study category (E-1 and E-2) shall be evaluated as part of Study Category C.
Recommendation: Staff does not recommend inclusion of E-3, E-4, and E-5 into
the NSD sphere as part of this comprehensive review. E-1
and E-2 shall be analyzed as part of Study Category C.
