Some hotly-contested matters seemingly decided by Napa County concerning winery growth and hot air balloon launches are coming back for further rounds.
A ruling by the county Planning Commission â and sometimes even the Board of Supervisors â isnât always the final word. There can be an appeal or even a lawsuit.
Here are some controversial issues from the past that will get a second life in 2021.
Balloons Above the Valley
Balloons Above the Valley will take another shot at getting its expansion proposal to fly.
The Planning Commission on Nov. 4 by a 3-2 vote refused to allow Balloons Above the Valley to increase launches from a rural property south of Yountville. Owner Robert Barbarick wants the allowed 50 launch days annually increased to year-round operation.
