Introduction
In 1984, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and Community Development Commission adopted a Redevelopment Plan that defined the Springs (formerly known as the "Sonoma Valley") Redevelopment Project Area and identified a series of goals to achieve by the year 2024. The Springs Redevelopment Plan defined the planning area boundaries and identified three objectives:
- Alleviate the deterioration of residential neighborhoods.
- Create an efficient commercial neighborhood.
- Secure open space.

Project Boundary
Located immediately north of the City of Sonoma, the Sonoma Valley Redevelopment Project Area roughly flanks Highway 12 from Agua Caliente Road at the northern-most edge, south to the City/County line near Verano Avenue. The Redevelopment Project Area boundary extends farther west along Boyes Boulevard to encompass residential neighborhoods between Greger Street and Railroad Avenue. Sonoma Creek parallels the area to the west. Highway 12 is a major arterial and commercial spine running north-south through the center of the community. The Redevelopment Project Area is entirely unincorporated and falls under the jurisdiction of Sonoma County.
