      Project Description:
      Design Review and Tentative Map for 24-unit townhouse complex on Parcel 2 of the North Village.

      On May 20, 2019, 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. An Environmental Checklist & Addendum to the FEIR were prepared for the North Village Project (MCUP 2019-04) approved by the Planning Commission on February 11, 2020; and the Development Agreement for the North Village Project (DA 2020-01) adopted by the City Council on April 6, 2020.
