Aaron and Claire Pott have secured Napa County permission to build their Chateauneuf-du-Pott winery on the forested slopes of Mount Veeder despite a scattering of opposition.
The Planning Commission last week approved the 20,000-gallon-a-year winery. The planned 4,638-square-foot building at 2072 Mount Veeder Road will replace a house and barn that burned in the 2017 Nuns fire.
âI want to support small, family-owned wineries,â Commissioner Megan Dameron said. âIn this case, the Pott family lives on Mount Veeder. They have vines and farm on Mount Veeder. And now they wish to have their small family winery on Mount Veeder.â
The Potts talked about their winery plans.
A proposal to create housing on Oat Hill in American Canyon is colliding with the Napa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
R.H. Hess Development wants to build 291 multifamily homes on this 250-foot-high city landmark about 1.5 miles from the airport. But 51 of the homes would be within an airport compatibility zone where homes are prohibited.
For the Airport Land Use Commission on Wednesday, the decision proved to be straightforward. Members said some of the proposed homes are in Zone D, so they had to find the proposed project inconsistent with the plan.
