Board of Supervisors final discussions on the Local Coastal Plan's update


On Monday, July 17, 2023, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors will convene for their final meeting to conclude discussions on the Local Coastal Plan's update. District 5 Supervisor, Linda Hopkins, intends to put forth a late-stage change aiming to impose potential limitations on vacation rentals along the coast.


We invite you to join hosts in resisting this abrupt change. Express your thoughts through public comment at the July 17th Board Of Supervisors meeting. You can either attend in person, participate via Zoom, or email your comment to bos@sonoma-county.org. If you have ties in a different Sonoma district, write to your Supervisor, urging them to reject Hopkins' rushed alteration to the Local Coastal Plan process.


Please visit our friends at: Sonoma Coast Vacation Rental Owners, or The Sea Ranch Hosting Coalition If you own a home in the Coastal Zone or want to get involved and lend your support locally.
