186 Healdsburg Citywide Design Guidelines
The following design guidelines address the treatment of existing
historic resources and are intended for use by property owners
of designated resources (located within local historic district or
individually designated per the City’s Land Use Code). There
are other structures in the City that are also of historic and
architectural merit. These structures should also be preserved
because they provide a tangible link to our past and are the
foundation of our built environment. The guidelines in this chapter
are intended to also address alterations to residential buildings
that are not otherwise regulated by the Land Use Code but which
may have historic or architectural merit.
Before beginning a project on any building, it is important to
determine whether your building may be considered to have
historic or architectural merit for the purposes of these Design
Guidelines. If a property is on any of the surveys or has any of the
ratings listed below, it should appear in the Planning Department’s
records. Please contact the Planning Department to determine
if a property has any of the following ratings or is on any of the
surveys below to determine the applicability to this document and
any other Department review procedures.
• Buildings with a National Register status code of 1 to 5
• Buildings with a California Historical Resource status code of 1
through 5
• Buildings listed in the Healdsburg Cultural Resource Survey Final
Report, 1983
• Buildings listed as having architectural or historic merit on infor-
mational surveys prepared by other agencies and organizations
• Buildings identified as having a historic status in the Land Use
Code
• Surveys on file at City Hall for Tucker Street, North Street and
Piper Street
• Inventory of Historically Significant and Potentially Significant
Properties -City of Healdsburg 2011 Update
Demolition or significant alteration of a structure on the above
list or over 50 years old may require the preparation of a historic
structure report by a qualified architectural historian prior to action
on a planning permit request. Also see note on page 207 of these
guidelines. For designated resources, refer to the Land Use Code
for the types of projects which require Design Review approval by
the Historic Committee. New infill construction projects in historic
overlay districts (Figures 8.1 and 8.2), next to a designated historic
resource or next to a non-designated historic resource must
follow the infill guidelines in this chapter. These new construction
projects should also refer to the applicable Character Area
chapter for more information on design reference.
