Environmental

Determination: The Healdsburg City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the North Entry Area Plan (SCH# 2018062041) and adopted related findings, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (May 20, 2019). An Environmental Checklist & Addendum to the FEIR were prepared for the Master Conditional Use Permit for the North Village Project (MCUP 2019-04) that was approved by the Planning Commission on February 11, 2020; and the Development Agreement for the North Village Project (DA 2020-01) that was adopted by the City Council on April 6, 2020. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning), no further environmental review is required because the North Village hotel and mixed use/residential project components would not result in on-site, off-site or cumulatively significant effects on the environment that were not examined in the FEIR.
