Measure B and SB 330 questions surface as residents press council for definitive analysis
Summary
Multiple residents raised Measure B and SB 330 issues; staff and the city attorney clarified why Measure B was suspended for housing element certification and explained SB 330's limited applicability to annexations.
Residents pressed the council on Measure B (the city's growth control measure) and how state law (commonly referenced as SB 330) interacts with local limits. Rebecca Robinson reviewed Measure B's 2002 adoption and the city's decision to suspend it for the housing element certification cycle; several commenters said the state mandate limited Dixon's growth-control options.
City staff and legal counsel clarified that SB 330's applicability is complex and depends on timing and whether an area is an annexation; staff said Solano County does not meet one of the state's agricultural‑county subfactors so the city's options were limited and the city elected to suspend Measure B for the housing‑element cycle to secure certification. Doug White, the city attorney, told the council the study session is not a decision point and warned members not to state definitive support or opposition to preserve their ability to vote later.
