scoping has closed: Thanks to all who submitted comments!
On Aug. 29, Permit Sonoma issued the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the SDC redevelopment project. The 30-day Public Scoping Period closed on September 29.
A huge THANK YOU to individuals, nonprofits, and agencies for submitting your comments.
WHAT'S NEXT? Please check back here soon for details on how you can stay involved.
In the meantime, please read the Provide, Protect, Preserve Alternative recently submitted to Permit Sonoma by SCALE and SV Next 100.
The Provide, Protect, Preserve Alternative was developed by a small working group of representatives from Sonoma Community Advocates for a Liveable Environment (SCALE) and Sonoma Valley Next 100 in response to public health and safety concerns, environmental site constraints, non-compliance with CEQA (as identified by the Sonoma County Superior Court in the SCALE decision), and broad community input. It represents a balanced and environmentally superior approach to redevelopment of the site.

Good News on the Legal Front
March 11, 2026: Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Broderick ruled against DGS (Department of General Services) in favor of Sonoma Valley Next 100 to proceed to trial. The next phase will be discovery and pre-trial motions about the disposition of the former Sonoma Developmental Center.
