A
Community Workshop on the redevelopment of the 32 Patten Street property will
be held on Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 10 a.m. - noon at the old fire
station building at 32 Patten Street. The workshop is sponsored by the
Sonoma Community Development Agency (or CDA, the City's redevelopment agency),
which owns the property, and will be conducted by Foothill Partners, the
developer selected to prepare a proposal for the site.
Workshop
objectives are to:
-
Review existing site conditions and applicable zoning regulations
-
Review the history of the site, including previous public forums and actions,
and CDA objectives for the site.
-
Provide the developer with feedback and suggestions from neighbors and other
interested members of the community as to how the site should be re-used and
redeveloped.
A
workbook of additional background information has been prepared and is
available on the City’s website at the following link: http://www.sonomacity.org/default.aspx?Pageid=455
Workbooks
will also be printed and available at the meeting.
Doug
Weile of Foothill Partners recently stated, “I regard myself as a guest in the
community, as I am almost everywhere I work. My intent as a guest is to fit in
– I’m not in Sonoma to change it, only to help the community achieve its goals.
This is our track record elsewhere, and we intend no less for Sonoma. We’re
grateful for the invitation of the City, grateful for the opportunity, and
committed to doing well for Sonoma.”
