4 This report showcases the community's aspirations for the forthcoming Healdsburg Multicultural Center, shaped by a community-led research endeavor. In response to a profound need for a multicultural and inclusive space of belonging, the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County spearheaded this initiative, bringing together the following partners — On the Margins, Corazón Healdsburg, Alliance Medical Center, Goring & Straja Architects, and Carducci Associates.
Through a participatory process involving surveys, listening sessions, and design workshops, 129 residents shared their voices and perspectives, shaping the Healdsburg Multicultural Center from its conceptualization to its architectural design. Analysis of the collected data revealed key themes and priorities, giving rise to ten "Design Mandates" that serve as a roadmap for the center's development. These mandates champion:
1. Multigenerational Spaces for Movement and Play: Design spaces that promote physical well-being for all ages, including multipurpose sports fields, exercise areas, and play spaces for children and youth.
2. Community Kitchen & Cafe: Enjoy a community-led kitchen and cafeteria that fosters culinary skills, shared meal preparation, and access to healthy, affordable food.
3. Collaborative Murals: Partner with Healdsburg artists, especially those from LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, to co-create murals that celebrate cultural diversity and empowerment.
4. Sensory-Aware Design: Create spaces that offer varying levels of sensory engagement, from vibrant and stimulating to quiet and calming, to accommodate diverse needs and preferences.
5. Spaces for Creative Expression: Dedicate areas for community-led arts, crafts, and music programs, emphasizing cultural traditions and the therapeutic benefits of creative expression.
6. Environmental Justice: Demonstrate a commitment to sustainability through the incorporation of native plants, traditional medicinal plants, and edible gardens. The design should prioritize reclaiming and restoring natural spaces historically taken from BIPOC communities.
7. Lifelong Learning Hub: Establish a center for intergenerational learning and career development, offering academic support, life skills training, career/technical education, and resources for literacy, GED preparation, and certifications.
8. Community Gathering Spaces: Provide flexible spaces designed to foster community interaction, gatherings, and cross-cultural connection. Support community-led events, celebrations, and shared activities.
9. Digital Access & Literacy: Ensure on-site computer access and provide technology education, including coding classes, for all community members.
10. Access, Autonomy, Accountability, and Justice: Maintain a strong commitment to mutual accountability and justice for underserved communities in Healdsburg. The center must be physically and financially accessible to all, with community voices central to its design and operation.
This report exemplifies the transformative power of community-based participatory research and collaborative partnerships in shaping spaces that promote well-being, cultural celebration, and a more equitable future for all Healdsburg residents.

LISTENING SESSIONS
5 In 2024, the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County, driven by a deep commitment to health equity, recognized the pressing need for a dedicated multicultural center in Healdsburg. This recognition was a response to a long-held community aspiration, brought to light through compelling evidence. A 2023 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report by Acosta Latino Learning Partnership, which involved in-depth listening sessions with 150 community members, revealed a strong desire for a space dedicated to celebrating cultural heritage and fostering a sense of belonging. This contemporary finding resonated with a decades-old recommendation from a 1982 American Institute of Architects study that proposed a "Hispanic Community Center" to address the dwindling number of traditional gathering places for the city's growing Latine population. These converging voices, spanning generations, painted a clear picture: Healdsburg needed a vibrant, dedicated space where residents, particularly those historically marginalized, could connect, thrive, and access essential resources.
Introduction
Recognizing this historical context and the community's clearly articulated need, the Healthcare Foundation championed this vision, setting the Healdsburg Multicultural Center Project (HMCP) in motion. To ensure the initiative was truly community-driven, they enlisted On the Margins (OTM), an organization specializing in asset-based community development (ABCD) and participatory research. OTM, with its expertise in collaborative approaches like This photo depicts one of the listening sessions.
participatory mapping and "freedom dreaming" – methodologies that empower communities to envision and build their desired futures – was uniquely positioned to guide this effort.
Partnering with Corazón Healdsburg and Alliance Medical Center, two organizations deeply interwoven with the fabric of the Healdsburg community, OTM embarked on the HMCP. This initiative sought to cultivate a grassroots vision for a vibrant and inclusive space, one that authentically responded to the needs and aspirations of all residents, particularly those who are on the margins. Ensuring the active and meaningful engagement of these communities was paramount, with their voices and perspectives shaping every facet of the project, from its initial conception to the final design.
To gain a deeper understanding of the community's needs and aspirations for the HMCP, OTM, in collaboration with Alliance Medical Center and Corazón Healdsburg, facilitated a series of eight bilingual (Spanish and English) listening sessions in Healdsburg between January and October 2024. These in-person sessions provided a safe and welcoming platform for residents to share their visions for the center, prompting them to consider key questions such as:
• Who should the center serve, and who should be involved in its operation and governance?
• What kinds of activities, programs, and resources should it offer? • How should the physical space be designed to foster a welcoming and inclusive space of belonging? What amenities are essential?
• What kind of atmosphere, or "spirit," should the center cultivate? • What core values should guide the center's operations and programming? By prioritizing community voices and fostering collaborative exploration, the listening sessions laid the groundwork for a culturally responsive and inclusive space where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

LISTENING SESSIONS
6 During these eight listening sessions, Corazón Healdsburg and Alliance Medical Center meticulously documented the ideas, concerns, and aspirations expressed by Healdsburg residents. On the Margins then carefully analyzed this wealth of qualitative data, identifying recurring themes and priorities. These recurring themes, embodying the collective wisdom and desires of the community, were then synthesized into the "10 Design Mandates." These mandates served as guiding principles for the project, ensuring that the final design truly reflected the community's vision.
To further solidify the community's vision and translate it into tangible design concepts, two esteemed firms, Goring & Straja Architects and Carducci Associates, joined the HMCP. These two firms orchestrated two pivotal community sessions designed to bridge the gap between aspirations and architectural realities.
The inaugural community design session, held in September 2024, focused on exploring potential programs and architectural designs to best serve the Healdsburg Multicultural Center's mission. Participants delved into the "10 Design Mandates," with a particular emphasis on practical implementation and seamless integration into the existing Healdsburg Community Center site—the location favored by residents for the multicultural center. A key component of this session was a "dot polling" activity, an interactive exercise that allowed residents to quickly and visually express their design preferences, providing invaluable insights to guide the architects.
Building on this foundation, the second session in November 2024 shifted the focus to gathering community input on specific architectural and landscape design elements. This workshop fostered a collaborative environment where residents actively participated in a site planning activity, generating ideas for the center's layout, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. By actively involving the community in this process, their vision was firmly embedded into the project's design and development trajectory.
This report delves into the heart of Healdsburg’s aspirations for a Multicultural Center, weaving together the voices and visions of its residents. It first explores the demographic landscape of Healdsburg, providing a snapshot of its residents and their diverse backgrounds. It then presents a comprehensive analysis of community feedback, utilizing both traditional qualitative methods and innovative text mining techniques to uncover key themes and aspirations. These findings paint a vivid picture of the community's desired Healdsburg Multicultural Center.
Finally, it translates these aspirations into concrete design mandates, offering a roadmap for creating a space that truly reflects and serves the needs of all Healdsburg residents. This report is a testament to the power of community engagement and collaboration, showcasing the potential for creating a truly inclusive multicultural center in Healdsburg.

7 rich tapestry of cultures that contribute to the city's vibrant identity today, while also recognizing and honoring its indigenous roots.
Healdsburg
Population & Demographics
Healdsburg, a town in the heart of Sonoma County, California, is a place where history, culture, and demographics converge to create a unique and dynamic community. It is critical to acknowledge that Healdsburg stands on the unceded ancestral lands of the Southern Pomo people, specifically the Kaiyao Pomo. This historical context underscores the importance of recognizing the profound connection between the land, its original inhabitants, and Healdsburg’s identity today.
Healdsburg is home to a diverse population of over 11,000 residents. While the majority identify as White (65.64%), the town has significant Latine (27.82%) and mixed-race (7.38%) communities (See Table 1). It is important to recognize and value the presence and contributions of all residents, including the smaller but vital Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. The presence of different sociocultural groups enriches Healdsburg's social fabric, shaping its cultural landscape.
A closer look at Healdsburg's demographic profile reveals important trends. The age distribution skews older, with over a quarter of residents aged 65 or older. This demographic characteristic has the potential to influence the types of services and amenities desired within the community. Additionally, a significant portion of residents (15.23%) are foreign-born, indicating a rich history of immigration and cultural exchange that has undoubtedly contributed to Healdsburg’s unique strength and character.
Housing presents a serious challenge, with a median home value exceeding $900,000 and a median gross rent of over $2,000. These factors play a significant role in the socioeconomic dynamics within the community, highlighting the need to address affordability and ensure equity and justice for all residents.
Creating a truly inclusive and representative Multicultural Center in Healdsburg necessitates a deep understanding of its unique demographic landscape. This involves acknowledging the Characteristic Statistic

8 Socioeconomic Indicators
Healdsburg's relatively high median family income suggests a degree of affluence; however, a closer examination reveals socioeconomic complexities that affect residents' lives. For example, 8.7% of the population comprises non-citizens or undocumented individuals, who may encounter challenges accessing essential services and experience increased vulnerability due to their immigration status (See Table 2). In addition, 11.2% of residents identify as having a disability, underscoring the need for accessible and inclusive housing, transportation, and public spaces to ensure they can fully participate in wellness programs and community life.
A relatively high vacancy rate (14.6%) raises questions about housing affordability, seasonal residency patterns, or a potential mismatch between housing supply and demand.
Investigating these factors is crucial to understanding the dynamics of Healdsburg's housing market and addressing potential challenges. With 42.9% of households being renteroccupied, policies that support renters' rights and housing stability become paramount. This includes prioritizing affordable housing options, implementing tenant protections, and establishing eviction prevention programs to safeguard vulnerable and marginalized residents.
Although the majority of households have access to computers and broadband internet (over 95%), maintaining digital equity and addressing any remaining digital divide is vital. Bridging this gap is essential to prevent disparities in access to information, education, employment opportunities, and other critical resources in an increasingly digital world.
Understanding these socioeconomic nuances is fundamental for effective community planning and resource allocation in Healdsburg. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, the community can strive to ensure that all residents, regardless of income, background, or ability, have the opportunity to thrive and enjoy health, wellness, and a high quality of life.

Wellbeing
City-wide data provides a valuable overview of Healdsburg, but a deeper understanding of resident well-being requires a more granular, neighborhood-level analysis. This approach can reveal hidden disparities and inform the development of targeted interventions to address specific needs and opportunities for improvement within distinct areas of the city. To better understand Healdsburg and its population, this report utilizes data from the Portrait of Sonoma's 2021 Update, focusing on three distinct Census Tracts within Healdsburg: North Healdsburg (1539.01), Central Healdsburg (1539.02), and Old Healdsburg (1539.03).
Comparing key well-being indicators across these areas provides a more nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing each neighborhood.

9 interplay between various well-being factors and underscores the need for a multipronged approach to address the unique challenges faced by residents in Central Healdsburg.
The disparities in well-being across Healdsburg's neighborhoods highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation. By understanding the specific challenges and opportunities within each neighborhood, the city can develop tailored strategies to improve the quality of life for all residents.
A Tale of Three Neighborhoods
The tale of three neighborhoods analysis reveals stark disparities in well-being across Healdsburg's census tracts, painting a picture of distinct realities experienced by residents in different parts of the city (See Table 3). A granular analysis underscores the importance of moving beyond city-wide averages to understand the nuanced experiences of residents within specific neighborhoods.
• Old Healdsburg: This census tract
emerges as the most advantaged area,
boasting the highest scores in health and
education. Residents here likely benefit
from factors such as access to quality
h e a l t h c a re s e r v i c e s a n d s t ro n g
educational institutions. This translates
to a higher overall quality of life and
greater access to resources, contributing
to better health outcomes, higher
educational attainment, and increased
economic stability.
• North Healdsburg: In stark contrast,
North Healdsburg presents a concerning
picture with the lowest scores in health and education. This indicates significant challenges faced by residents in this area, including potential barriers to accessing healthcare services and limited educational opportunities. These factors can contribute to poorer health outcomes and lower educational attainment potentially trapping residents in cycles of disadvantage.
• Central Healdsburg: This neighborhood occupies a middle ground, with strong health and education indices but the lowest income index. This suggests that while residents may have access to good healthcare and education, they may still face financial constraints or income inequality. This disparity highlights the complex TABLE 3.

• Central Healdsburg: Falls in between, with an HDI of 5.91 and a life expectancy of 82 years, indicating room for improvement compared to Old Healdsburg.
See Table 4 for data.
Educational Attainment
Educational attainment levels in Healdsburg reveal significant disparities between neighborhoods, highlighting an unequal distribution of educational opportunities and resources across the city (See Table 5). These disparities have profound implications for residents' overall well-being, impacting their economic prospects, access to healthcare, and social mobility.
• Old Healdsburg: This neighborhood demonstrates the highest level of educational attainment, with a large proportion of residents holding a Bachelor's or Graduate/ Professional degree and a very low percentage of those without a high school diploma. This suggests that residents in Old Healdsburg benefit from greater access to quality education from early childhood through higher education, potentially leading to better job prospects, higher incomes, and improved overall well-being.

11 Racial and Ethnic Disparities
Analyzing well-being across Healdsburg's three census tracts – North Healdsburg, Central Healdsburg, and Old Healdsburg – reveals disparities that may disproportionately impact specific racial and ethnic groups. For instance, North Healdsburg, which has the lowest scores across health and education, also has a higher concentration of Latine residents. This suggests that Latine residents in this area may face greater challenges in accessing healthcare, educational opportunities, and also economic resources.
Furthermore, Central Healdsburg, with its lower income index despite strong health and education indices, may also reflect disparities experienced by specific racial or ethnic groups. A deeper investigation into the demographic composition of each census tract, alongside the well-being indicators, can shed light on potential racial and ethnic disparities that require targeted interventions.
This analysis of Healdsburg reveals a community rich in diversity and history, but also marked by socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to resources across its neighborhoods. Recognizing these disparities is crucial for creating a truly inclusive and equitable Multicultural Center.
Median Earnings
Median earnings provide a stark illustration of the economic disparities that exist between Healdsburg's neighborhoods. These figures shed light on the financial realities faced by residents in different areas and underscore the need for targeted economic development initiatives (See Table 6).
• North Healdsburg: Has the highest median earnings ($42,060), indicating a higher level of economic prosperity in this area.
• Old Healdsburg: Follows closely with median earnings of $41,770, suggesting a similar level of economic well-being.
• Central Healdsburg: Reports the lowest median earnings ($34,926), indicating a potential need for economic development and support in this neighborhood.
Understanding these economic disparities is crucial for community planning and resource allocation in Healdsburg. By recognizing these variations, the community can strive to ensure that all residents, regardless of their neighborhood, have the opportunity to thrive and enjoy a high quality of life.]

Methodology
Multicultural Center in their own words. This method facilitated broad participation and captured a wide range of perspectives (See Figure 1).
Listening Sessions: Recognizing the value of in-depth dialogue, the project conducted 8 listening sessions in diverse community settings between January and October 2024. These sessions fostered open conversations and allowed for a deeper exploration of community needs and aspirations. See Appendix A for the list of protocol questions that guided the conversation.
This multi-faceted approach, involving 129 participants, ensured that diverse voices, including those from potentially marginalized groups, were heard and valued.
This photo depicts On the Margins’ listening session at Alliance Medical Center The Healdsburg Multicultural Center Project was deeply committed to incorporating the community's voice at every stage. To achieve this goal, the project adopted a mixed-methods approach grounded in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles. This ensured that the community's needs and aspirations not only were considered but actively shaped the research questions, focus, and ultimate direction of the HMCP.
To gather rich and comprehensive data, the project employed two primary methods:
Survey Cards: These cards provided a structured yet open-ended format, allowing community members to express their thoughts, ideas, and priorities for the Healdsburg Data Collection: A Community-Driven Approach

13 Data Analysis: A Multi-Dimensional Perspective
A robust mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques, was employed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the community's vision for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. This multi-faceted approach ensured that the findings were both data-driven and deeply rooted in the lived experiences and aspirations of community members.
Quantitative Analysis:
• Text Mining: Advanced computational text mining techniques were applied to analyze the survey card responses. This involved leveraging sophisticated algorithms to sift through the text data, identify key words, phrases, and recurring themes, and ultimately quantify the most frequently expressed needs and priorities. This approach provided a valuable overview of the prevalent topics and concerns within the community.
Qualitative Analysis:
• Thematic Analysis: A rigorous
qualitative methodology known as
thematic analysis was employed to
delve deeper into the meaning behind
the community's input. This involved a
systematic process of reviewing both
the survey card responses and detailed
notes from the listening sessions to
identify, analyze, and report patterns
(themes) within the data. This approach
facilitated a critical and systemic
inquiry, allowing the researchers to
uncover the underlying meanings,
beliefs, and values expressed by
community members, providing rich
context to the quantitative findings.
TABLE 7. STEP BY STEP DATA ANALYSIS PROCESS (PICKRELL & DOMINGUEZ, 2024)
1. Careful Data Entry and Cleaning:
○ All survey responses were meticulously typed into a spreadsheet, ensuring accuracy and correcting any typos or grammar mistakes.
○ Responses were sorted by language (English or Spanish) to ensure clear understanding. ○ To protect participant privacy, any identifying information was removed.
2. Analyzing the Data:
○ Quantitative analysis: Specialized computer programs were used to analyze word frequency, phrase frequency, and recurring themes. Demographic data was also analyzed to ensure representation.
○ Qualitative analysis: Responses were thoroughly reviewed to identify common themes and patterns. Computer programs were used to create visual representations of the data, such as word clouds and network diagrams, to aid in understanding the overall picture.
3. Text Mining (Using Computers to Find Meaning in Words):
○ A Python script was used to analyze the text in the survey responses. ○ English and Spanish responses were separated.
○ Common word pairs (bigrams) were identified in each language. ○ Word clouds were created to visualize frequently mentioned words and ideas. ○ Word types (nouns, verbs, adjectives) were analyzed to understand expression styles. ○ Network diagrams were created to visualize connections between different ideas. ○ Topic modeling was used to discover the main topics emerging from the responses.
The photograph depicts the researcher alongside
the results of the analysis. The design mandates
are displayed on the right, while a word cloud
visualization of the survey responses is featured on

15 Preferred Location
When asked about the ideal location for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center, participants overwhelmingly favored integrating it into the existing Healdsburg Community Center at 1557 Healdsburg Ave, Healdsburg, CA 95448.
This strong preference stemmed from several factors:
• Familiarity and Comfort: The existing Community Center is already a familiar and welcoming space for many residents, fostering a sense of comfort and belonging. • Increased Feasibility: Participants recognized that leveraging the existing site would make the project more feasible and efficient, allowing for a quicker realization of the Multicultural Center.
• Centralized Community Hub: Integrating the Multicultural Center into the existing Community Center creates a centralized hub for diverse programs and services, promoting greater access and community interaction.
By choosing this location, the community envisions a vibrant and inclusive space that builds upon existing resources and strengthens community connections.
Design Workshops Based on Design Mandates
To bridge the gap between community aspirations and architectural realities, the design team orchestrated two interactive workshops. The first workshop, held in September 2024, served as a platform to gather community feedback on potential architectural designs and delve deeper into how the community's vision could be seamlessly integrated into the existing Healdsburg Community Center site.
A key component of this workshop was the "dot polling" activity, which allowed residents to visually express their preferences for various design options by placing colored stickers on posters. This interactive exercise provided the architects with immediate, quantifiable feedback, giving them valuable insights to guide their decision-making.
Building on the foundation established in the first workshop, the second workshop in November 2024 delved into specific architectural and landscape design elements. Residents actively participated in a site planning activity, generating creative ideas for the center's layout, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
This photo is from the initial design workshop held at the Healdsburg Community Center.

16 2. 3D Model Perspective: To further enhance visualization and refine the design, the architects are creating a 3D model of the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. This digital representation allows them to:
• Explore Aesthetics: Experiment with different architectural styles, materials, and color palettes to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and culturally relevant design. • Evaluate Functionality: Assess the flow and functionality of spaces, ensuring they meet the intended purpose and accommodate various activities and events. • Communicate Effectively: Share a tangible representation of the design with stakeholders, facilitating communication and fostering a shared understanding of the project's vision.
By meticulously crafting the master plan concept and 3D model perspective, the architects are taking concrete steps to bring the community's dream for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center to life.
Future Directions
The architects are currently immersed in the process of translating the community's aspirations into tangible design concepts for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. They are diligently analyzing the wealth of feedback gathered from the two community workshops, paying close attention to the preferences expressed through the "dot polling" activity. This valuable input is shaping their decision-making as they refine the design and ensure it aligns with the community's vision.
Their current focus is twofold:
1. Master Plan Concept: The architects are developing a comprehensive master plan that outlines the overall design and layout of the center. This preliminary plan encompasses various aspects, including:
• Building Placement: Strategically positioning the main building and any auxiliary structures to optimize flow and functionality.
• Parking and Accessibility: Designing accessible parking areas and pathways that cater to individuals of all abilities.
• Walkways and Circulation: Creating a pedestrian-friendly environment with clearly defined walkways and intuitive circulation patterns.
• Landscaping and Outdoor Spaces: Integrating green spaces, native plants, and gathering areas that foster a sense of community and connection with nature. • Amenities and Features: Incorporating key amenities such as the community kitchen, multi-purpose spaces, and technology areas in a way that maximizes their usability and accessibility.
This master plan concept serves as a blueprint for the project, guiding decision-making and ensuring that the final design effectively meets the diverse needs of the community.

Drawing from the Listening Sessions
As was previously mentioned in the On the Margins (OTM) report, the firms of Goring & Straja Architects and Carducci Associates (Design Team), were engaged to further the community’s vision for the Healdsburg Multicultural Center. The Design Team’s intent was to build upon the the information and data gathered at the eight“Listening Sessions by introducing two “Visioning Session” Workshops to engage with the community directly. OTM provided the Design Team with an “Architect Design Suggestions Report” which summarized the data collected at the previous Listening Sessions to assist them with preparing for the Workshops.
After reviewing the report, the Design Team determined that there were eight distinct Programmatic Spaces the community described for their ideal Multicultural Center:
The mural above is currently displayed in the west courtyard of the existing community center. The participatory and community oriented nature of it serves as inspiration for the HMCP process. • Quiet Study / Reading Spaces
• Music Room
• Life Skills / Career Support Spaces
• Multipurpose Room
• Community Kitchen
• Arts & Crafts Room
• Study Spaces
• Classrooms
The Design Team developed image boards consisting of photographs they felt could best describe options for each of the eight Programmatic Spaces. In addition, they developed image boards representing the ten Design Mandates which also had multiple photographic images of options for each of the Design Mandates.

Site Context and Dot Polling
Workshop #01 was held on October 16, 2024 at the Healdsburg Community Center Multipurpose Room. It was attended by over 50 members of the community. Bi-lingual materials and a translator were provided at the Workshop to ensure inclusion. A Context Map, Existing Conditions Plan and Plan of the Existing Community Center were presented to orientate the community with the facility. After review of the eight Programmatic Spaces and ten Design Mandate Programming Imagery Boards, the community was provided with colored “dots” and asked to place them on the images (photographs) of Spaces / Mandates that resonate with them. It was a lively exercise and participants enjoyed the opportunity to “vote” for the photographs that best represented their vision for the future Multicultural Center. It should be noted that several participants would gather around a specific board and discuss as a group why a specific photograph was the best representation.
The following page shows the context map of Healdsburg that was printed at large scale for reference during Visioning Session 1, to illustrate relationships between the existing Community Center site and other public amenities and points of interest within Healdsburg.

22 Existing Site Conditions
The existing Healdsburg Community Center is owned and operated by the City of Healdsburg.
It was a former elementary school. It is adjacent to Foss Creek and the Foss Creek Bikeway, an abandoned railroad right-of-way that connects to Central Healdsburg. The Community Center fronts Healdsburg Avenue. The site is bordered by mature trees on the south and east. West of the site is a large grove of mature native oak trees in the Foss Creek riparian corridor. Between Foss Creek and the site is the abandoned railway and the Foss Creek Bikeway. The site is about 10 acres and includes three distinct areas:
1. a central campus of one-story buildings,
2. south of the campus buildings is a multiuse hardcourt with basketball courts, a children’s play area, an abandoned community garden, and an adjacent multiuse natural grass sports field that accommodates baseball and soccer,
3. and a small undeveloped area in the north portion of the site The central campus buildings are occupied by the City of Healdsburg Community Services Department, Corazón Healdsburg, Alliance Medical Center and a YMCA childcare facility.
The campus also includes a Multipurpose Building with a kitchen, a community meeting room and several classrooms that are available for rental use. The buildings and rooms are connected by covered outdoor corridors. Situated between the various rooms and covered outdoor corridors are three mostly paved courtyards. The courtyard next to the Multipurpose Room includes a sunken amphitheater. The two other courtyards are unprogrammed and have few trees or plants.
Area 3: view of undeveloped north area; looking south from start of Foss Creek Bikeway at Grove St.
Area 2: view of vast blacktop and soccer fields south of central campus, looking south.
Area 1: view of entrance on north side of central campus, looking south.

Results Revealed
Workshop #02 was also at the Healdsburg Community Center Multipurpose Room on November 24, 2024. After a brief recap, the Design Team presented the Dot Polling results for the Programmatic Spaces and Design Mandate images. The standout images were the most popular images that were reviewed and selected at the first Visioning Session. Each Programmatic Space was represented in the Dot Polling Results board. Similar to the Word Clouds, the standout images were increased or decreased in size according to the number of dot polling votes a specific image received. What emerged from this exercise was the opportunity for the Design Team to define “Commonalities” amongst the eight Programmatic Spaces and ten Design Mandates:
The entrance to the existing Community Center at 1557 Healdsburg Ave.
Programmatic Space Commonalities:
• Close Relationship between Indoor &
Outdoor
• Family Oriented
• Traditional Building Techniques &
Materials
• Fiber Arts priority for Craft Space
• Playfulness, Festivity
• Flexibility of Space & Technology
Design Mandate Commonalities:
• Food, Music and Dance
• Exercise in Natural Setting “Green
Exercise”
• Access to Nature and Ethnobotanical
Plants
• Education and Access to Technology
• Multigenerational and Traditional
• Art Representing Cultural Heritage

During the second half of Workshop #02, participants were divided into six groups. Each group consisted of 8-10 persons plus a design facilitator and bi-lingual colleague. The groups gathered around an existing Site Plan of the facility and were provided with transparent representations of the Programmatic Spaces and Design Mandates for the participants to overlay over the existing Site Plan as a “Space Planning Activity”. Each group’s final “Site Plan” was recorded.
It is the hope of the Design Team that as the project moves forward, the Dot Polling Results, Commonalities and Site Plan options will inform and influence the design for the future Multicultural Center.
Group 6 hashes out some possibilities with
landscape architect Karly Behncke.
Ellipses with site elements (green) or interior
programs (blue) were printed on acetate to overlay
the site plan. Write-ins were purple.
Group 1 poses at their table in the existing Multipurpose Room of the Community Center after completing their site planning activity. Architect Douglas Thornley (standing) joined their table.

Group 4:
• "All in the short term" note added at the end -
• at the zoomed-out diagram level, this group chose
to maintain the 'indoor' program where the
building is and the 'outdoor' programs where the
open space/fields are. -
• exceptions: the community kitchen away from the
existing building, adjacent to the open space/large
gathering space; the addition of a pool at the site
of the current baseball fields. -
• the existing athletic fields have been taken over
by other programming. -
• the live music/food truck programs on the north
site were a last minute addition because there
was confusion as to whether this was, in fact, part
of the parcel. this demonstrates excitement about
this location though these are short term
measures.

39 Group 6:
• Noted how important parking is to maintain and
expand where possible due to the overflow during
events/soccer games. Not willing to lose trees for
parking.
• General interest was more in programming and
how to use un-used space in the community center
quickly and effectively for what the community
needed: Financial Support, Life Skills Youth
Support, Art-Making Spaces, Dance Class, Event
Hall.
• Liked the idea of re-using former garden area for
the Ethnobotanical Garden and also align it with
outdoor learning spaces so it can support
educational activities to the garden as well.
• The hardcourt area adjacent to the field is very
important not only for parking during overflow
events, but for the youth. Re-striping or adding
color to the pavement for creating new activities
seemed of interest. Keeping basketball was a
must, but there was an idea that it could be a
covered soccer space as well.
• Activating Foss Creek Pathway with fitness
Stations, Cultural Plants for interest and signage
that could provided measured increment
information or educational signage about
ornamental plants that tell a story about the
regions of their native countries
• Murals could be placed on any open wall space
• General excitement about creating an large event
space in the undeveloped parcel for parties, music
events, and impromptu food park. Parking was
noted of importance, and could be placed at
furthest corner where entry from adjacent road
could be easy.
Three of the five groups creating site plans during Visioning Session 2 Group 5:
• Passionate about preserving parking lot space
• Excited about having the Pool and the Temazcal
adjacent to each other
• Considering splitting field up into new areas,
keeping some lawn for progams such as zumba,
nature play, and a gathering pavilion (potential for
an artificial turf field)
• Walking path with bilingual signage adjacent to/
going through the ethnobotanical garden
• Mention of indoor soccer
• Mural to be placed on existing building to
accentuate the space
After the breakout session, an open discussion was started to bring the groups back together. The summary of notes are as follows:
• a place for events/ music (Event Hall for rent)
• An indoor soccer area - year round, all-weather sports complex • Currently they have to travel to Sports Complex in Santa Rosa (Sports City) • Fitness stations, plants and signage along existing walkway to amplify that experience • A location for Food trucks (similar to Mitote Food Park in Santa Rosa) • Providing spaces for technology and financial education • Art making spaces for the local artisans to create and sell their work • Spaces for dance classes/music classes
• Varying degrees for access of youth activities - indoor and outdoor • Funding for sports usages
• Community Center
• Use existing rooms in the community center for quiet activity. Ie: Use existing MPR for quiet study
• Have noisy activities on the south side of the community center. Ie: Music room located on south side of community center
• Rearrangement of room use inside the existing community center • Locate historic mural on free-standing wall east of the existing amphitheater • Prefer to put effort into programming + healthcare and not the building. • Provide spaces for Arts + Crafts (space for weaving), indoor soccer, dancing; outdoor gym/exercise equipment; proper Soccer Field; Training Facility for Soccer Teams; Arts + Crafts program for children; Music programming; Resiliency Center capability. Provide funds for Soccer Program, child activities (ballet, dance, etc).

47 Future Directions
The Design Team was asked to develop a Master Plan Concept and 3D Renderings of possible interventions at the existing Healdsburg Community Center that incorporate the visions provided during Workshops #01/#02. The interventions are as follows:
View of the amphitheater from the existing and underutilized west courtyard. ‣ Master Plan
Concept
‣ West Courtyard
‣ East Courtyard
‣ South Courtyard
‣ Multipurpose Room
Master Plan Concept
The master plan is based on input from the meeting participants that identified inclusivity, welcomeness, multigenerational activity, sustainability, places to have food together, an outdoor kitchen, adding connections to nature, native and ethnobotanical plants, music, gathering areas, quiet areas, space for events, color and vibrancy. Provide indoor/outdoor relationships and be rustic or traditional in architectural style rather than modern.
The master plan illustrates several recommendations that can be interventions into the community center. Recommendations are presented in a framework of tiers and can be adjusted as needed.
First tier: Introduce painting of the exterior walls with bright colors to add vibrancy. This will also help identify each building and courtyard and help with visitor wayfinding.
Introduce community-based multicultural murals based on traditional themes.

Courtyard
The West Courtyard includes a communitybased mural and painted walls. It replaces the concrete paving with decomposed
granite paving and salvaged concrete
paving (urbanite) arranged in a random
pattern to soften the courtyard. It has a
raised water feature with cobble stones
that mimic an arroyo and can also look
natural when dry during a drought.
A bosque of deciduous flowering trees,
such as Crape myrtle, provides dappled
summer shade and winter sun, native
plants and movable furniture add nature
and comfort to the courtyard. It also
includes an overhead pergola next to the
Community Meeting Room to provide a
dramatic shade pattern that changes and
marks the sun movement throughout the
day. Next to the pergola, a wall of
windows in the Community Meeting Room
wall facing the courtyard is transformed
into a wall of operable glass doors for an
indoor/outdoor feeling. Consider adding

57 Prospective Perspectives — Multipurpose Room
The existing Multipurpose Room at the existing Healdsburg Community Center was a former cafeteria for a K-6 Elementary School dating back to the late 1980’s. The Design Team believes the room can be substantially transformed to reflect the diversity of the community as well as support a diversity of uses and activities. The vision shown weaves the following modifications to open the space to the outdoors and improve the acoustics and lighting for the types of activities spelled out in the OTM report:
• Removal of storage structure (to be replaced with a simple structure adjacent to the Restroom) to allow for a flip-up glass door that will provide views into the adjacent east courtyard and encourage indoor/outdoor activities. • Install a wood slat acoustical ceiling assembly to improve the sound experience and warm the space.
• Removal of fold-down cafeteria tables and infill wall niches with wood slat acoustical wall panels.
• New lighting to provide more flexibility for daytime / nighttime activities. • Replace existing flooring with a wood dance floor system. • Color: introduce colors more reflective of the diverse Healdsburg community.
It should be noted that another project related to the Multipurpose Room is the replacement and expansion of the existing commercial kitchen to better support the desire for a Community Kitchen.
Adjacent: View from east courtyard looking into the Multipurpose Room, now a much more appropriate atmosphere for community festivities.

58 Notes on Color
One of the simplest and cost effective
means for transforming the facility into a
Multicultural Center is the introduction of
vibrant colors to the exterior of the existing
buildings. The Design Team is inspired by
the use of color by two famous Mexican
architects, Luis Barragán and Ricardo
Legorreta. The colors selected should be
rooted in how the diverse cultures of
Healdsburg experience the world. The
colors suggested are brilliant yellow,
orange, red and purple. If the City of
Healdsburg decides to proceed with
rethinking the exterior color palette for the
facility when transforming it into the
Multicultural Center, then a more careful
and deep study of which colors are finally
determined should take place.
Adjacent: View of the west courtyard from the entry
walkway. The existing mural shown right compliments the proposed landscaping and paint color upgrades.

Thanks to the comprehensive results and thematic analysis from the Listening sessions, the following 10 “design mandates” were gathered:
1. Multipurpose, Intergenerational Movement Spaces: Intentionally support the physical well-being of the community through multi-purpose sports fields, exercise gyms for personal fitness, and playgrounds/play spaces for youth.
2. Community Kitchen/Cafeteria: Establish a community-led and community-supported kitchen/cafeteria that allows for culinary practice and education, community food preparation, and encourages access to healthy meals at sliding-scale costs.
3. Participatory Mural Design: Engage with community members and local artists, especially LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists, in Healdsburg to co-create mural designs for the Multicultural Center that both represents the cultural diversity of the Healdsburg community and empowers residents to create positive impact in their communities.
4. Mixed-Sensory Engagement: The Multicultural center design should have spaces that vary in sensory engagement so visitors can either engage in loud, stimulating environments or quiet, relaxing spaces.
5. Arts, Crafts, Music: Create “maker spaces” or other community-led spaces for arts, crafts, and music practice; Emphasize cultural/traditional music and art practices as well as art practice for healing/well-being.
6. Environmental Justice: The Multicultural center should be environmentally sustainable, and should have intentional environmental design that both highlights native plants, traditional/cultural/medicinal plants, and native food plants; The space should reclaim environmental spaces and plants historically taken from BIPOC communities.
7. Multifaceted Educational Support: The Multicultural center should have a hub for intergenerational educational and career development support: academic support,“life skills” courses, and Career-Technical Education courses for youth; Literacy development, GED preparation, and Career Certification for adults and elders.
8. Community Building: Create spaces for community engagement, gathering, and cross-cultural belonging; Food, sports, parties/fiestas, and other mass gatherings should be supported and co-created with community members.
9. Computer Access and Education: The Multicultural center should be able to provide visitors with computer access and computer/coding classes for members in the community.
10. Prioritize Access, Autonomy, Accountability and Justice: Ensure that the Multicultural center is accessible to all (regardless of ability, cost, or personal background), uplifts community voices in directly designing the space, is accountable to the community (and the community is accountable for maintaining and supporting the center in return), and prioritizes justice for underserved and disinvested communities in Healdsburg.

CONCLUSIONES Y SUGERENCIAS DE DISEÑO:
Basado en aportes y análisis integrales de la comunidad, los siguientes principios básicos de diseño guiarán la creación del Centro Multicultural de Healdsburg:
1. Espacios multigeneracionales de movimiento y juego: Espacios diseñados para el bienestar físico para todas las edades, incluyendo canchas deportivas de usos múltiples, áreas de ejercicio y espacios de juego para niños y jóvenes.
2. Cocina/Cafetería Comunitaria: Una cocina/cafetería dirigida por la comunidad que fomenta las habilidades culinarias, la preparación de comidas compartidas y el acceso a alimentos saludables y asequibles.
3. Arte mural colaborativo: Asociaciones con artistas y miembros de la comunidad de Healdsburg, especialmente de las comunidades LGBTQIA+ y BIPOC, para cocrear murales que celebren la diversidad cultural y el empoderamiento.
4. Diseño sensorialmente consciente: Espacios que ofrecen distintos niveles de participación sensorial, desde vibrantes y estimulantes hasta tranquilos y calmantes, para adaptarse a las preferencias individuales.
5. Espacios para la expresión creativa: Áreas dedicadas a artes, artesanías y música dirigidas por la comunidad, enfatizando las tradiciones culturales y los beneficios terapéuticos de la creatividad.
6. Justicia Ambiental: Un compromiso con la sustentabilidad, con plantas nativas, plantas medicinales tradicionales y jardines comestibles. El diseño debe recuperar y restaurar espacios naturales históricamente tomados de las comunidades BIPOC.
7. Centro de aprendizaje permanente: Un centro para el aprendizaje intergeneracional y el desarrollo profesional, que ofrece apoyo académico, capacitación en habilidades para la vida, educación profesional/técnica y recursos para alfabetización, preparación para el GED y certificaciones.
8. Espacios de reunión comunitaria: Espacios flexibles diseñados para fomentar la interacción comunitaria, las reuniones y la conexión intercultural. Apoyo para eventos, celebraciones y actividades compartidas liderados por la comunidad.
9. Acceso a computadoras y alfabetización digital: Computadoras en el sitio y educación tecnológica, incluidas clases de codificación, accesibles para todos los miembros de la comunidad.
10. Acceso, autonomía, rendición de cuentas y justicia: El centro debe ser accesible física y financieramente para todos, y las voces de la comunidad deben ser fundamentales para su diseño y funcionamiento. Un compromiso con la responsabilidad mutua y la justicia para las comunidades desatendidas en Healdsburg.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT: Breathless Wines Request to Operate Pedicab
PREPARED BY: Matt Jenkins, Chief of Police
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
Economic Diversity and Sustainable Growth
Promote Environmental Stewardship
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Adopt a Resolution authorizing Breathless Sparkling Wines, LLC to operate a six-passenger electric pedal-assist pedicab business within the City of Healdsburg, subject to route approval by the Healdsburg Police Department, and subject to the conditions previously established by the City Council for pedicab operations, including the prohibition on consumption of alcoholic beverages on board the pedicab and the prohibition on the use of amplified sound.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
Breathless Sparkling Wines, LLC ("Breathless"), a family-owned and women-owned winery located at 499 Moore Lane, Healdsburg, has submitted a business proposal requesting City Council authorization to operate a six-passenger electric pedal-assist pedicab to transport visitors between the downtown Healdsburg Plaza area and the Breathless tasting room on Moore Lane. A copy of the Breathless Sparkling Wines Pedicab Transportation Initiative business plan is attached to this report.
California Vehicle Code Section 21215 provides that any pedicab operation shall be authorized by local ordinance or resolution before operating within the local jurisdiction. The statute further requires that pedicabs (1) have a seating capacity of not more than 15 passengers; (2) be operated by a driver at least 21 years of age with a valid California driver's license; (3) be equipped with seatbelts for all passengers, seat backs, brakes, reflectors, headlights, and grab rails, and be inspected annually by an entity designated by the local jurisdiction; (4) maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in general liability insurance plus an additional $500,000 in general umbrella insurance; and (5) not operate on any highway with a posted speed limit in excess of 30 miles per Item 8.c
734 of 786
hour, except to cross at an intersection.
The City currently has one authorized pedicab business – Bike Healdsburg, which as authorized by City Council in 2018. Following the 2018 authorization, the City elected not to pursue a comprehensive pedicab ordinance and accordingly continues to authorize individual pedicab operations by City Council resolution on a case-by-case basis.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Breathless Sparkling Wines is a Healdsburg-based boutique sparkling wine producer founded in 2011 and located in the City's warehouse district just outside the downtown plaza. Breathless proposes to add a single six-passenger pedicab powered by an electric pedal-assist bicycle system, operated by trained Breathless employees, to shuttle visitors between the downtown Plaza and the Breathless tasting room at 499 Moore Lane. The stated purposes of the service are to (1) provide visitors with a safe, low-speed, zero-emission transportation option between downtown and the warehouse-district tasting rooms; (2) reduce short-distance vehicle trips and downtown parking demand by encouraging a "park once" model; and (3) support local downtown businesses by increasing visitor circulation between the Plaza and the industrial district.
Proposed Route, Hours, and Service Model. The pedicab will operate on a loop-and-request basis, with the driver anticipated to complete approximately two to three loops per hour depending on rider demand, and with appropriate rest breaks taken by the driver during the operating day.
Proposed hours of operation are Thursday through Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Rides will be offered free of charge and are not limited to Breathless customers; members of the public are welcome to ride. Anticipated use patterns include visitors who park at Breathless and take the pedicab to the Plaza (taking advantage of weekend parking availability at the Moore Lane site) as well as short Plaza-to-Plaza trips between the two designated loading locations for members of the public moving between points on the Plaza.
Breathless has identified two proposed passenger loading/unloading locations on the Plaza: one near Dry Creek Kitchen across from Plaza Street, and a second on Center Street at Matheson Street.
The proposed route between the Plaza and 499 Moore Lane is depicted on the map attached to the Breathless business plan.
As with prior authorizations, staff recommends that the Police Department be required to review and approve the proposed route and loading locations prior to commencement of operations, and that any subsequent changes to routes or loading locations likewise be subject to Police Department approval. The Police Department should also retain authority to revise routes as needed if significant complaints are received or if staff identifies operational concerns.
Vehicle and Operator Standards. The proposed pedicab is a six-passenger electric pedal-assist vehicle, well within the 15-passenger maximum permitted under Vehicle Code Section 21215.
Breathless has represented in its business plan that the pedicab will be operated only by trained Breathless employees, that operators will meet the age and licensing requirements of state law, and that the vehicle will be maintained in compliance with the equipment and annual inspection requirements of Section 21215. The annual safety inspection required by Vehicle Code §21215(a)(4) will be performed by Healdsburg Police Department staff as designated by the Chief Item 8.c
735 of 786
of Police. Consistent with the City's existing practice for Bike Healdsburg, no fee will be charged for the annual inspection.
Insurance. Breathless has provided an insurance summary from Kinsale Insurance Company (procured through Nielsen Insurance Agency) reflecting general liability coverage with a $1,000,000 general aggregate limit, $1,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate limit, $1,000,000 personal and advertising injury limit, and $1,000,000 each occurrence limit, on a 12- month occurrence policy form, with additional insured, waiver of subrogation, and primary/noncontributory endorsements available as required by written contract. Breathless has also provided confirmation of the additional $500,000 general umbrella coverage required by California Vehicle Code §21215(a)(5).
Conditions Consistent with Prior Council Direction. Consistent with the conditions established by the City Council in connection with prior authorizations, staff recommends that the attached resolution specifically prohibit: (1) the consumption of any alcoholic beverages on board the pedicab and (2) the use of amplified sound. Breathless's business plan expressly contemplates "alcohol-free transportation to and from Breathless Sparkling Wines," which is consistent with this condition.
Healdsburg Police Department staff have met with representatives of Breathless Sparkling Wines and reviewed in detail the operational requirements imposed by California Vehicle Code Section 21215, as well as the conditions previously placed by the City Council on pedicab operations in connection with prior authorizations, including the prohibition on the consumption of alcoholic beverages on board the pedicab, the prohibition on the use of amplified sound, and the requirement that routes and any subsequent route changes be reviewed and approved by the Police Department and the City's traffic engineer. Breathless expressed no issues or concerns with any of those requirements or conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to return with a resolution authorizing Breathless to operate a pedicab business in the City of Healdsburg that is different than the attached resolution; or
2. Receive the staff report and provide no further direction to staff. Because State law requires a jurisdiction to adopt a resolution or enact an ordinance before pedicabs may operate, this option would not allow Breathless Sparkling Wines to operate a pedicab business in the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no known fiscal impact related to the proposed action. Consistent with current City practice, no fee will be charged for the annual safety inspection required by Vehicle Code §21215(a)(4).
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Item 8.c
736 of 786
Adoption of the resolution authorizing Breathless Sparking Wines to operate a pedicab business on existing public streets and rights-of-way involves no construction or physical alteration of the environment and is therefore exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense exemption”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment. The action is also exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304, as the operation of pedicabs constitutes no more than a minor alteration to land.
