Sonoma Planning Commission postpones hotel review
Posted on November 2, 2016 by Sonoma Valley Sun
What seemed like a fast track to get the West Napa Street Hotel project approved at a special November 3 Planning Commission meeting has been slowed: the item has been postponed until the panel’s next regular meeting, December 8.The 62-room hotel, restaurant and associated parking is proposed for the 100 block of Sonoma’s West Napa Street, with an entry at 541 First Street West.“The City recognizes that the proposal has generated a lot of interest and that the required environmental studies are lengthy and take time to review,” said Planning Director David Goodison in an email sent today.In order to allow a full opportunity for informed review and comment on the project, Goodison said the applicants have agreed to postpone consideration of the Final EIR, a 1,000-word document, and consideration of the use permit to the Planning Commission meeting of December 8, 2016.Although this is a regular meeting of the Planning Commission, it will be the only item on the agenda.While the short notice on the cancellation of the November 3rd meeting is unfortunate, Goodison said, “we feel it is necessary to allow everyone involved sufficient time to make informed comments and decisions.”

Friends and Neighbors….. come out and let these folks hear your voices on this issue….Dec 8th….
I don’t think there is much local support for this hotel so if that is in fact true I hope people can come out and let the planning commission know this…..
