The Healdsburg City Council has directed staff to draft an ordinance banning any more hotels in the town’s central retail hub. For the wider downtown district, the ordinance would limit new lodging projects five or fewer rooms with no more than five total rooms on each side of downtown streets. The ordinance would also create new affordable housing requirements that would require hotel room developers to create one affordable housing unit for every five hotel rooms built or pay a fee that would go to creating such housing. This effort comes as a result of public outcry over the increase of hotel construction downtown.
