14 "comprehensive" approach to transportation and land use planning.

16 3. The scope of land use planning authority was not sufficiently detailed.
17
18 4. The 1992 advisory vote was not necessarily required to commence the planning
19 activity if the two counties and/or counties and cities wish to collectively
20 proceed with such planning.
21
22 5. The Sonoma County Transportation Coalition proposal ignored the existence of
23 Sonoma County Transportation Authority which would be a more appropriate
24 body to conduct any planning effort for the people of Sonoma County.
25
26 6. Over $600,000 has already been spent on transportation planning for the two
27 county area and the Sonoma County Transportation Coalition proposal appears
28 not to acknowledge this work and incorporate it in future planning efforts.
