CEQA Notice of Exemption Filed for 359 Hudson Street in Healdsburg

5:00 am on October 16, 2026 By Gabriel Clark-Clough

A Notice of Exemption was filed for a large affordable housing development at 359 Hudson Street in Healdsburg. The possibility of the project’s disqualification or significant modification requirements under CEQA was one of the last barriers to the major project after last month’s planning commission reluctantly approved the project. The project’s developer, Gallaher Signature Living, has been able to push the project through despite opposition by using the state density bonus rules that require cities to accept projects that meet all formal requirements.
