The American Canyon Chamber of Commerce strongly endorses the Giovannoni Logistics Center
Development and we urge you to approve the applications before you tonight that will move this project
forward.
There are currently limited vacancies for wine storage. Green Island Road is the Champion of the Wine
Industry with millions of cases of wine passing through it every year. We need to support this growing
industry, encourage wine supporting businesses, to be in American Canyon, and welcome them as they
locate and grow here. If the businesses don't come to American Canyon, they go into South Unincorporated
County or Sonoma, meaning no benefits to our City.
As the Chamber, we represent our members, and the business community of American Canyon. We believe that
the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project needs to be approved because it will provide the following economic
development benefits for our community:
1. Promote development that generates net positive tax revenues for the City by generating more in new tax
revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.
2. Create new employment opportunities for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.
3. Develop compatible land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interest of avoiding interference with
aviation operations.
4. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.
5. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.
6. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land
contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.
7. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.
8. Install circulation improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and
egress to the Proposed Project while also ensuring these facilities operate at acceptable levels.
9. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.
10. Mitigate impacts on the environment through the implementation of feasible mitigation measures.
We appreciate your consideration and look forward to having the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project
welcomed in American Canyon
Sincerely,

Valerie Zizak-Morais Gladys Milligan

Good evening, my name is Steven Piepkorn and I’m with the Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance. We submitted a comment letter to the Draft Environmental Impact Report. Our letter identified several deficiencies with the DEIR. The deficiencies include but are not limited to, air quality, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, transportation, cumulative effects, alternatives, and other CEQA alternatives.

During these turbulent times, we as citizens expect and deserve our local government’s elected and appointed officials to protect us from environmental and social injustice, to aid in the preservation and rehabilitation of the environment in which we all share, and to ensure accountability and responsibility in regard to the environmental decisions they may make.

We stand by our comment letter and believe the EIR is flawed, and must be redrafted and recirculated for public review. In closing we call on this Council to be a leader on the aforementioned issues and be the first line of defense for our citizenry and environment. Only by working together can we continue to be excellent stewards of our environment, outstanding stewards to our citizens and each other. Thank You.
