   3. Project Description: Permit Sonoma, Sonoma County’s Permit and Resource Management Department, has released three draft land-use alternatives to guide the redevelopment of the 945-acre Sonoma Developmental Center. Plans call for between 990 to 1,290 units of housing, creating a walkable community with an emphasis on affordable housing and active transportation to lessen automobile use. Environmental preservation incorporated in the project will protect 700 acres of open space between Jack London State Historic Park and Sonoma Valley Regional Park, add a wildlife corridor and preserve Sonoma Creek and its tributaries. Commercial, recreational and civic spaces will be built for use by residents, employees and the greater Sonoma Valley. Alternative A: “Conserve and Enhance” preserves the most historic buildings while creating low-density housing and the second most jobs of any proposal. Alternative B: “Core and Community” creates the most housing units in a walkable mixed-use neighborhood, with community uses, restaurants, and retail uses. Alternative C: “Renew” creates a regional innovation hub bringing the most jobs of any proposal, neighborhood agriculture, and housing units to support these uses.
