Cloverdale Urban Growth Boundary

With slightly over 7,000 residents, Cloverdale is still a bucolic community, bordered to the north by Mendocino County redwood forests and to the south by the breathtaking Alexander Valley. This may change in the coming years though. With land prices that are relatively low compared to the rest of Sonoma County, and a lack of growth management policies, sprawl development threatens to destroy the rural character of the Cloverdale area. Cloverdale is the only City in Sonoma County that does not have an urban growth boundary that clearly states where development should and should not go.

In May 2009, the City updated its General Plan, which acts as the blueprint for growth for the next 20 years. By adopting a boundary, residents will protect the community's rural character and surrounding hillsides from sprawl development.
