The City of Napa has prepared a joint Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)/Environmental Assessment (EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for a 100 percent affordable housing development in conjunction with the Gasser Foundation, Burbank Housing, Abode Housing, the City of Napa and Napa County.

The application includes:  Right-of-Way Abandonment of a portion of the terminus of Valle Verde Drive, a Lot Line Adjustment/Merger, Use Permit, and Design Review applications to remodel an existing building to allow a 58-unit single-room occupancy (SROs) and 8-one bedroom accessible units (Heritage House) facility and construction of a new 24-unit apartment complex (Valle Verde) on a 2.88 acre property.
