Amazon’s efforts to operate a distribution center along a busy highway in the Sonoma Valley are being delayed.
A Sonoma County planning panel on Thursday sided with two grass-roots organizations that appealed plans to allow Amazon to open a delivery hub in an existing warehouse building near the city of Sonoma without a comprehensive evaluation. The Sonoma County Board of Zoning Adjustments approved the appeal filed by Mobilize Sonoma and Valley of the Moon Alliance with a 3-1 vote.
