SCALE's mission is to ensure that transformation of the Sonoma Developmental Center manifests the vision of thousands of community stakeholders and balances the site’s priceless natural values with human needs by:

  1. Ensuring redevelopment density is scaled to surrounding semi-rural land uses and site limitations and does not result in urbanization outside established urban growth boundaries;
  2. Embracing a Housing First! approach that prioritizes residential housing over commercial/hotel development and maximizes the amount of affordable housing on the site, with a focus on housing for people with low and very low incomes, essential workers, and individuals with developmental disabilities;
  3. Enhancing the function of the critical Sonoma Valley Wildlife Corridor and promoting stewardship of the surrounding open space as public parkland;
  4. Minimizing wildfire risks to lives and property;
  5. Maximizing preservation and rehabilitation of historically significant buildings, structures, and landscapes; and
  6. Minimizing adverse impacts on local and regional transportation systems, water and sewer systems, biological resources, carbon emissions, historic resources, and wildfire evacuation capabilities.

Inspiration is not garnered from the litanies of what may befall us; it resides in humanity’s willingness to restore, redress, reform, rebuild, recover, reimagine, and reconsider.
