Scoping Meeting for General Plan Update Environmental Review
The City of Sonoma has begun preparing a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for its General Plan Update and invites community members to participate in the environmental review process.
A public scoping meeting will be held to share information about the project and gather input on what environmental topics should be studied in the EIR.
The updated General Plan will guide the City’s growth and conservation through 2045. The EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts related to the Plan’s implementation.
The public is encouraged to attend the meeting and provide input. Written comments on the scope of the EIR will also be accepted from August 29 to September 29, 2025.
