Do I Need a Use Permit for My Project?

Civil Engineering permits
It is important to consider County Code when undertaking any development project to determine whether or not you need permits. County permits are required for many types of developments and improvements, but use permits are usually required for large development project that could affect conditions of the surrounding neighborhood or conflict with the Sonoma County General Plan and Zoning Code. Atterbury & Associates can help you through the application process should you need one.

When You Need a Permit

Many small projects are covered under “Permitted” uses in the county, but more intensive development projects are likely to fall under the category of “Uses Permitted with a Use Permit.” Examples of projects requiring use permits include:
  • Wineries
  • Contractor storage yards
  • Kennels
  • Creekside development
  • Mixed use projects
  • Planned developments
  • Breweries

If your project falls under or is similar to any of these, you will need to obtain a use permit by applying to the governing County.

The Process

To apply for a use permit, a completed application is reviewed by the Sonoma County Project Review Division of the Permit and Resource Management Department (PRMD), county departments, and California state agencies. The project is analyzed for environmental impact and then scheduled a public hearing by either the Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Adjustments. Use Permits are generally granted at the discretion of the Board of Zoning Adjustments or Planning Commission, and they usually come with strict conditions when approved.
