Zinfandel Subdivision Project

The Zinfandel Subdivision Project, led by applicant Randy Gularte and the City of Napa, involves the development of a 51-lot residential subdivision on approximately 9.56 acres in Napa, California. The project consists of 51 single-family homes, 12 accessory dwelling units, and 10 junior accessory dwelling units. Development requires the demolition of an existing single-family dwelling, a detached garage, and a private pedestrian bridge, as well as the removal of existing vineyards and 42 trees. Key infrastructure improvements include off-site construction along the Salvador Channel and the dedication of a 10-foot-wide right-of-way along the El Centro frontage to enhance the pedestrian network. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on December 4, 2025. Environmental compliance measures include a soil mitigation plan overseen by Napa County Environmental Health to address lead concentrations, adhering to EPA and Cal/OSHA standards. Biological resource protections are in place to manage the removal of native trees and protect jurisdictional wetlands and waters. Additionally, the project must comply with City of Napa Design Guidelines regarding grading, drainage, and landscaping, while coordinating with Caltrans for transportation management and road restoration following pipeline installation.
