Sonoma County General Plan 2020 Environmental Justice Element

The project is a General Plan amendment to incorporate a new Environmental Justice Element into the Sonoma County General Plan 2020. The Environmental Justice Element identifies low-income areas with disproportionate environmental burden, called Environmental Justice Communities, and establishes new goals, policies, and programs to advance health in those areas and across the unincorporated County. Policies and programs address pollution exposure, access to public facilities and healthy food options, community public health, safe living conditions, and civic engagement in public decision-making processes.
