A local developer will present plans for a new four-unit condominium project on West Grant Street at a Healdsburg Planning Commission public workshop tonight. The project includes the removal of three heritage trees on the 0.75-acre vacant lot and requires several entitlements, including a tentative parcel map, major design review, habitat preservation area modification, and heritage tree removal permit.

Why it matters

This development proposal highlights the ongoing tension in Healdsburg between new residential construction and preserving the city's natural heritage, including its mature trees. The public workshop allows residents to provide feedback before the developer formally submits plans for review.

The details

The developer aims to build two condominium buildings with attached ground-level garages on the 0.75-acre lot at 156 West Grant Street. The property slopes toward Norton Slough and includes a Habitat Preservation Area, as well as three heritage trees that are slated for removal. The "Willows Condominiums" project requires several entitlements, including a tentative parcel map, major design review, habitat preservation area modification, and heritage tree removal permit.

• The public workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10 at 6 P.M.
• The developer previously held a neighborhood meeting about the project in January 2026.

What’s next

Following the public workshop, the developer can revise the plans before formally submitting them for a comprehensive review that will analyze compliance with Healdsburg's general plan, Grove Street Neighborhood Plan, and land use code.
