(NVR) - Napa County resident Paul Pelosi, the husband of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, has been organizing neighborhood opposition to a proposed 30,000-gallon winery project that’s planned for the corner of Silverado Trail and Zinfandel Lane near St. Helena.

The Pelosis own the property next door to the winery, which will be called Castelluci Family Winery. Paul Pelosi told the Napa County Planning Commission on Wednesday that he’s concerned about the impacts traffic to and from the winery will have on Zinfandel Lane.

The main driveway in and out of the new winery will be off of Zinfandel, and the winery planned to install a left-hand turn lane off the eastbound lane to ease access. The use permit request for the winery seeks up to 50 visitors per day and 300 weekly as well as marketing events.

The Planning Commission was scheduled to vote on the use permit Wednesday, but opted to delay it another two weeks, to May 21, so the Castellucis and their attorney, Rob Anglin, could work out problems with the Pelosis and neighbors, as well as analyze using a driveway on Silverado Trail for visitor and tourist traffic.

The winery’s plans don’t call for using the Silverado driveway for winery access, as there’s also a residence on the property.

Anglin said he didn’t want to have the project’s permit delayed, but his clients were willing to accept it to work with the neighbors.

“We’re not excited about the prospect for continuance because we’re excited about the project,” Anglin said. “We’re almost there but we’re not quite there.”

Paul Pelosi asked for a month delay so he could hire a traffic engineer to perform new analysis of the winery’s plans and its impacts on traffic, but the commissioners rebuffed the request, saying two weeks was enough.

Pelosi said neither he nor his attorney has received documents and information they requested regarding their concerns. He’s been sending out letters to neighbors on Zinfandel to alert them to the project, he told the commissioners.

“I have not gotten any information whatsoever regarding the issues that I have raised or that my attorney has raised,” Paul Pelosi said. “I find that there is a lot of interest in this issue by people in the neighborhood. Nobody knew anything about it. We don’t have any information yet.”

But Commissioner Terry Scott said delaying a decision on the project’s permit — it was already delayed once in April — would amount to giving the neighbors special treatment.

“To delay this any further against the applicant’s wishes would be against our standard operating procedures,” Scott said.
