General Plan Update - Behind The Scenes

Land Use Plan Community Survey

Planning Staff is working with the Consultant Team to finalize the online community survey (English and Spanish versions). During this time of sheltering-in-place, this is a great way to keep the community involved in the General Plan Update. Responses to the survey will help craft our approach to the Community Workshop once we are able to engage the public in person. More information to come!

City Offices Closed - Staff Still At Work

As of March 17, 2020, all public counters in Napa City offices are closed to the public, and open only on a by-appointment basis. By modifying services, using social distancing and offering assistance and service over the phone, we can do our part to minimize COVID-19 exposure to City staff and the public. At this time, the closure is set to last through March 30, 2020. During the closure, you may contact 707-257-9530 for Planning-related matters to speak to Planning Staff or schedule a phone appointment.
