This includes a graveyard, a golf course, timeshare accommodations, a sewer plant, an industrial center, dairy farms, chicken ranches, schools, parks, and much more. The purpose of this Existing Conditions Report (ECR) is to examine a predefined study area within Sonoma County. The goal of the Sonoma State University Planning Workshop is for students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues that affect the residents, users and employees in the study area. The findings from this ECR will be used in the development of a Sonoma County Airport and Environs Area Plan. This plan is to be completed in the spring of 2012. The focus of our study area for the Fall 2011 Existing Conditions Report and the Spring 2012 Area Plan is the Charles Schulz Sonoma County Airport. The boundary of our study area is defined by Windsor River Road to the north, River Road to the south, the Russian River to the west, and U.S. Highway 101 to the east (see Appendix C). There were many methods used to create this comprehensive Existing Conditions Report. It is based in part on two surveys: Public opinion, which was used to determine the diverse opinions that exist within and about the study area; and land use, which recorded data about every parcel. Additionally, this document includes reports focusing on environmental conditions, economic conditions and trends, demographics, and transportation issues.
