Archived Public Record re SDC Specific Plan Process
The content below was submitted prior to release of the SDC Specific Plan and Draft EIR in 2022. SCROLL DOWN to read letters by groups such as the Glen Ellen Forum SDC/Eldridge Committee, Sonoma Land Trust, Sonoma Mountain Preservation, Family Advocates United and others outlining to government entities their concerns regarding the SDC Specific Plan process.
Permit Sonoma is currently preparing a revised Draft EIR to address the proposed development project and associated Specific Plan. The first step, “scoping” took place in September. Scoping is the process in which issues that need to be evaluated in the EIR are identified.
The county must now analyze each environmental issue area, develop and assess a reasonable range of alternatives, and identify mitigation measures for any impacts that are significant. The public Draft EIR is expected to be completed in early 2026 and will be subject to public review for a minimum of 45 days.
Stay tuned.....
