In recognition of Healdsburg’s leadership in implementing a community vision that promotes environmentally sound practices, the City Council adopted the
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (No. 1091) (PDF) in December 2009. The ordinance promotes the efficient design and installation of water-efficient landscapes in Healdsburg associated with new construction and substantial alterations of existing development where landscapes are proposed.
The Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance applies to:
- All new residential, commercial, office, industrial, public or quasi-public projects with landscaping
- All additions/remodels to existing residential, commercial, office, industrial, public or quasi-public projects with new or replaced contractor-installed landscapes of 2,500 square feet or more
