Sign NSVMAC Letter to Supervisors

The NOTICE OF PREPARATION (NOP) is a document stating that an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) will be prepared for a project. It is the first step in the EIR process. The primary focus is on notifying public agencies about the project. Issuance of the NOP and responses to the NOP (known as scoping comments) mark the beginning of the Administrative Record for the EIR. In addition to sdcspecificplan.com and eldridgeforall.org, the NOP can also be found here.


Vicki Hill, land use planner, Planning Advisory Team member, and Glen Ellen resident, has prepared a thorough explanation of the EIR process. Click on the button below to learn more.

Public opposition has shut down major projects in the past!

Read Arthur Dawson's article, "Road less traveled by made difference," published in the 11/21/21 edition of the Press Democrat to learn how local citizens made sure a plan to run a major highway through the heart of El Verano was scrapped.

In addition to sharing your views with Sonoma County agencies and Dyett and Bhatia, the land use consultant hired by the County to help craft the SDC Specific Plan, attend the next North Valley Municipal Advisory Council and go on public record. 


The North Valley Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) is an arm of Sonoma County government which serves as the voice of local citizens to the County and as a direct link between the County and the community. The MAC's powers are limited to advisory recommendations. While citizen input on land use planning at Eldridge is primarily under the purview of the Sonoma Valley Citizens' Advisory Council (SVCAC), the NVMAC will be involved in specific  issues, including traffic and housing, which are squarely within the advisory topics listed in its bylaws.

Regardless of the NVMAC's power to act, public comments on any issue can be made at monthly meetings. Supervisor Susan Gorin is usually in attendance. These comments become part of the public record.
