In addition, these findings demonstrate that the project separately and independently satisfies all requirements for the Class 32 categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15332 and the Class 15 categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15315, and that none of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to preclude reliance on either exemption.

Memorandum
Date: September 28, 2026
To: Brooke Ross, Development and Site Acquisition Specialist Gallaher Signature Living
From: Philip Ault, Director of Noise and Air Quality
Subject: Supplemental Noise Memorandum #2 for the Proposed Healdsburg Continuing Care Retirement Community Project Located in Healdsburg, California
At the request of Gallaher Signature Living (project applicant), FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), prepared this second supplemental memorandum to confirm that the assumptions and findings contained in the Noise Impact Analysis memorandum dated July 13, 2026, remain valid.
We understand that minor changes are now proposed to the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) project at 359 Hudson Street in the City of Healdsburg, referred to as The Hudson. The proposed change to the project specifically pertains to the ten affordable housing units located in the southeast portion of the site. The total number of affordable units and the associated building footprints and mechanical ventilation systems remain unchanged. However, the original configuration of ten studio units would be revised to ten one-bedroom apartments. To accomplish this adjustment, a third floor would be added to the two buildings designated as affordable housing.
This minor change does not introduce any new noise source or change the location of any project-related noise source. It would also not introduce any new groundborne vibration source or alter any analyzed groundborne vibration sources. It would further not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive airport-related noise levels. Therefore, the reasonable worst case modeling assumptions and analysis remain valid, and the assessment of the project’s impacts as presented in the Noise Impact Analysis memorandum remains unchanged. Therefore, similar to the findings identified in the Noise Impact Analysis memorandum, the proposed revised project would result in less than significant impacts related to noise and vibration.
In addition, these findings demonstrate that the project separately and independently satisfies all requirements for the Class 32 categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15332 and the Class 15 categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15315, and that none of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to preclude reliance on either exemption.

The Hudson Transportation Impact Study Addendum
Dear Ms. Ross;
We understand that minor changes are proposed to the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) project at 359 Hudson Street in the City of Healdsburg, referred to as The Hudson. The purpose of this addendum is to confirm that the assumptions contained in the Transportation Impact Study for the Healdsburg CCRC Project, prepared by W-Trans in November 2025, remain valid. The proposed change to the project specifically pertains to the ten affordable housing units located in the southeast portion of the site. While the total number of affordable units remains unchanged, the original configuration of ten studio units would be revised to ten one-bedroom apartments.
The project’s trip generation was estimated using standard rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in Trip Generation Manual, 12th Edition, 2025, including rates for “Affordable Housing” (LU #223).
Standard trip generation rates for residential uses including affordable housing rely on the number of units as the independent variable, rather than size or number of bedrooms. Accordingly, since the number of affordable units remains unchanged at ten, the number of trips generated also remains unchanged from what was analyzed in the transportation impact study.
The assessment of the project’s anticipated Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) characteristics as presented in the transportation impact study also remains unchanged, since the project would continue to qualify for VMT screening per the “Residential VMT Screening” map included in the City’s VMT policy.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this information.
Sincerely,

THE HUDSON AFFORDABLE HOUSING MARKETING PLAN
359 Hudson Street | Healdsburg, California
Purpose
The Hudson will include 10 income-restricted affordable residential units, consisting of:
• 10 One-Bedroom Units
Of the 10 affordable units, 8 units will be restricted to Very Low-Income (VLI) households and 2 units will be restricted to Low toModerate-Income households, in accordance with the applicable affordability requirements and regulatory agreements.
This Marketing Plan establishes procedures for marketing, accepting applications, and leasing the affordable units in a fair, transparent, and nondiscriminatory manner.
Marketing and Outreach
Prior to initial lease-up, the affordable units will be affirmatively marketed through appropriate local and regional outreach. Marketing may include the project website and leasing materials, online affordable housing resources, local media and community groups and organizations serving seniors, persons with disabilities, lower-income households, and populations that may otherwise be less likely to apply.
All advertising will include appropriate Equal Housing Opportunity language and/or logos and will identify applicable income and eligibility requirements.
Local Preference
The affordable units will be marketed and offered in accordance with the City of Healdsburg local preference requirements in effect when the Project's Housing Accountability Act and State Density Bonus Law applications were deemed complete in 2025. Applicable local preference will be provided to eligible households in accordance with those requirements.
The local preference will be administered only to the extent permitted by applicable federal and state law and in a manner consistent with all applicable Fair Housing and civil rights requirements. Nothing in this Marketing Plan is intended to authorize a preference or tenant-selection practice that would result in unlawful discrimination.
Application and Tenant Selection
Applicants must satisfy the applicable income, household-size, occupancy, and other eligibility requirements for the applicable Very Low-Income, Low or Moderate-Income unit.
Item 7.a
1058 of 1062
Qualified applicants will be considered in accordance with the applicable tenant-selection procedures and City of Healdsburg local preference requirements described above. If qualified demand exceeds the number of available units, a fair and transparent selection and/or waitlist process will be utilized.
Fair Housing and Reasonable Accommodation
The Hudson will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local Fair Housing and civil rights laws. Applicants will not be discriminated against based on any protected characteristic, and reasonable accommodations will be provided to persons with disabilities as required by law.
The Owner and property management team will apply marketing, eligibility, application, and tenant-selection procedures consistently and maintain appropriate records documenting implementation of this Marketing Plan.
