Developer eyes Southeast Dixon: Lewis Group proposal could add up to 6,000 homes, staff says
Summary
City staff described a Lewis Group proposal for a Southeast specific plan that could include about 6,000 homes and potentially require LAFCO approval to expand Dixon's limits; staff said the developer may submit a full package in early October and two public informational sessions are scheduled Sept. 4 and Sept. 12.
During the engineering update, city staff flagged a developer proposal by Lewis Group for a Southeast specific plan that could include roughly 6,000 homes and substantial transportation impacts.
"There is a proposal from a developer… It's Lewis, Lewis Group. And they are proposing a large… Southeast specific plan," Chris Fong told commissioners and said the company has posted information at the project website (harvest@dixon.com). Fong said the group plans to submit a full package to the city in early October and that informational sessions were scheduled for Sept. 4 and Sept. 12 at the senior multi‑use center.
Fong said any approval that would add the project area to the city's incorporated limits would require Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approval and that build‑out could occur over a 20‑year period. "Currently, there's about 20,000 people in, Dixon. We found 6,000 homes, about 3 people per home. You're talking 18,000 additional residents potentially over the 20 year period," he said. Staff emphasized the proposal is not approved and that major steps and interagency review lie ahead.
Commissioners asked about timing; staff said the submittal could arrive in early October and, if the process goes smoothly, ground‑breaking might occur in four to five years after LAFCO and other approvals. Staff encouraged public attendance at the informational sessions.
