Thank you, Chair Shotwell, members of the commission.

This is for 2415 Trower Avenue variants, which is an application for variants requesting a reduction to the required front setback from 20 feet to 12 feet, and a reduction of required parking spaces from 3 to 1 at 2415 Trower Avenue.

Applicant is the city of Napa.

Just referred to the project site 2415 Trower Avenue is located approximately 250 feet west of Linda Vista Avenue.

It is part of the Linda Vista specific plan area on site.

There's a single family dwelling with an attached carport, is a three-bedroom, one bath.

As part of the fiscal year 1718 budget, one of the improvements was a Trower Avenue Complete Streets project, which identified a portion of Trower Avenue, approximately 250 feet, like I said, west of Linda Vista Avenue that called for street widening and improvements that are similar to the improvements you see out there today, which are required acquisition of approximately 22 foot sections of four properties, and this is the the fourth of those four tonight.

The request is a reduction in the front setback of the single family infill zone from 20 feet to 12 feet and a parking space reduction from three to one.
