Determination: 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.

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 project components under consideration would not result in on-site, off-site or cumulatively significant effects on the environment that were not examined in the FEIR.
