Defend Donald St. - Ensure Responsible Growth
Donation protected
Our neighborhood just north of the Sonoma City limits is under attack.
Sonoma County and a local developer are trying to upzone a handful of parcels on Donald St. (behind the geodesic dome church on Verano) that are currently protected from over-development by our General Plan. In January of 2022, Permit Sonoma plans to issue a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on the Springs Specific Plan. We anticipate the plan will recommend adding over 500 new housing units on Donald St. alone.
We, the residents of Donald St, Robinson Road, Verano Avenue, Lomita, Michael, Ernest, and other neighbors have selected an excellent attorney and expert witnesses. Now we are raising the funds needed to retain them.
This campaign is 100% volunteer organized. We ask you to give generously, and already have several donors lined up ready to match your contributions.
UPDATE: During our kickoff Zoom fundraiser on February 25, 2021 we raised over $10,000 dollars offline! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Remember: You do NOT need to use GoFundMe to send us a donation. We can also accept a paper check mailed to Friends of North Sonoma PO Box 5, Sonoma CA 95476.
GoFundMe is fast and easy, so if you do want to use GoFundMe, be advised that you do NOT need to leave GoFundMe a "Tip". Tips are always optional, so at checkout, just select "Other" and enter "$0".
Any funds not used will be returned to donors.
Thank you!
