My property is in the county, why I am receiving notice of a town land use change?

The Town’s General Plan includes areas within town limits and unincorporated county areas that are outside of town limits but within the Town’s Urban Growth Boundary.  It is presumed that during the next 20 years properties located outside of town limits but within the Town’s Urban Growth Boundary could be annexed into the town.  To ensure that these properties develop in a manner that is consistent with established land use patterns and the Town’s vision for the future, the Town’s General Plan identifies an appropriate land use designation to guide their future development if and when they are annexed into the town.  The Town’s General Plan Land Use Designation will only apply to the use of your property if it is annexed in the future.  Until such a time, the use of your property will continue to be regulated by the County of Sonoma.
