Napa Pipe Returns to Planning Commission

Today's hearing at Copia is open to the public as the Napa County Planning Commission considers proposed changes to the controversial Napa Pipe mixed-use project.

This afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m., the Napa County Planning Commission holds a special meeting to consider the latest proposal from Napa Redevelopment Partners for the 154-acre Napa Pipe property just outside Napa city limits.

The proposed development at the former industrial site has been controversial since it was first outlined more than four years ago as a mix of housing and business with thousands of dwelling units.

The project has been downsized repeatedly over the years and the developers are now proposing 700 to 945 townhomes and apartments with a 154,000-square-foot Costco store.

The object of this afternoon's meeting is to review the project's environmental impact report, approval of which is required for development to move forward.

The meeting is open to the public and takes place at the auditorium inside Copia at 500 First St. beginning at 1 p.m. It will also be video-streamed on the county website, where you can find the agenda as well.
