Special Considerations for Specific

Land Uses
While the Healdsburg Design Guidelines focus on the design
of sites and buildings, it is sometimes necessary to consider the
special factors and challenges for specific land uses. For example,
an industrial business may require significant space for storage
and access requirements for larger delivery vehicles, whereas
a restaurant must prioritize customer experience and efficient
service. This section identifies key design considerations for
specific land uses. These should be reviewed prior to using the
design guidelines in subsequent sections of this chapter.

Industrial/Heavy Commercial

Design Flexibility
• Industrial and other heavy commercial uses, including
production, storage, warehousing or commercial service,
should be afforded design flexibility to meet functional
requirements.
• Design of the edge of a property, where it abuts a street or
sidewalk, should be the focus of design review for industrial
or heavy commercial use. Design within the interior of a site
should follow the broader intent of these guidelines, but
more flexibility is appropriate in those locations.

Security and Safety
• Businesses in this category often require fencing and
controlled access. These may require designs that depart
from the design principles for other building types.

Outdoor Storage
• Businesses in this category often need to store equipment,
products or other materials on a site.
• These unique needs should be considered in design review.
