The redevelopment plan of the Sonoma Developmental Center is being challenged in court. Two citizen groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the environmental impact report of the plan to redevelop the Sonoma Developmental Center in Glen Ellen. The suit claims the 2,500 page report is “a shortsighted plan with serious environmental consequences” that fails to take into account the center’s rural setting, limited roadways, and wildfire vulnerability. It also calls the report “unrealistic and unresponsive to well documented concerns about water supply, open space, biological resources, historic resources, and a broad range of other environmental issues.” The approved plan from the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors calls for at least 620 housing units to be built at the center. Final approval, though, is up to the California Department of General Services.
