Good Neighbor Policy

On April 9, 2024, the Board of Supervisors, adopted a Good Neighbor Policy (GNP) that strongly recommends project applicants engage with the community to increase transparency and public dialogue prior to the formal public hearing process.  The GNP is not a requirement, although the Planning Services Division strongly recommends that project applicants reach out to property owners within ½ mile of the property once an application has been deemed complete. 

If applicants choose to conduct additional outreach, outreach methods may include community meetings, a project website, flyers or fact sheets. County logo or County contact information shall not be displayed on the outreach materials. Planning Services will provide a list of property owners contact information and ½ mile radius map for your convenience. Following the outreach, applicants are encouraged to submit a Good Neighbor Report (GNR) to the Planning Services Division for incorporation into the staff report.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to bear the costs of the outreach.

A copy of the adopted GNP can be found here. Please refer to the policy for further details or contact the Planner On Duty at Planning@solanocounty.com  or 707-784-6765.
