A neighborhood group is planning to file a lawsuit challenging Sonoma County’s sale of its old Santa Rosa hospital complex. In a letter released yesterday, an association called Friends of Chanate says it will attempt to block the deal approved unanimously last month to sell the 82-acre property off Chanate Road. The county sold the property for about six-million dollars to a developer who plans to build at least 400 housing units. Despite the potential legal battle, the county’s counsel says the project “can move forward until we’re told something different by a court.”
