Notice of Public Workshop on Community Separators

The Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management Department (PRMD) is holding a public workshop to discuss changes to community separator policy. The Board of Supervisors has directed PRMD to:

1. Prepare a ballot measure for November 2016 to extend the life of community separators; and
2.  Consider where to expand existing community separators (PRMD File ORD15-0003). >

   We invite you to attend the kick-off public workshop so you can learn about the ballot measure and current policies, and provide input on the expansion areas. Community separators are lands that function to separate cities and other communities, contain urban development, and provide city and community identity by providing visual relief from continuous urbanization. GETTING INVOLVED We encourage you to attend the public workshop to learn more about the County’s existing policies, the proposed ballot measure, and expanded community separators. Here’s how you can review the draft expansion areas, provide input, and stay current on this project:  Attend the public workshop it the PRMD Community Separators webpage at: www.sonomacounty.ca.gov/Permit-and-Resource-Management  Sign up for email updates through the webpage PUBLIC WORKSHOP DATE AND LOCATION Wednesday, March 2, 2016 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. PRMD Hearing Room 2550 Ventura Avenue, Santa Rosa
