Dixon council holds study session on 836‑acre "Harvest at Dixon" master plan
Summary
City staff and the applicant briefed council on a preliminary 836‑acre proposal that would require annexation and multi‑phase buildout; residents raised questions about water, farmland and when decisions would come back to council.
Dixon City Council convened a special study session to review a preliminary application for the Harvest at Dixon master‑planned community, an approximately 836‑acre proposal outside city limits that would require annexation and later LAFCO approval. Steve Peterson, the project's contract planner with Kimley Horn, said the plan currently projects roughly 3,650 residential units, an 18‑acre neighborhood retail center, a proposed elementary school site and about 140 acres of parks and open space. "It's estimated $125,000,000 is the rough budget for all of the different components of that set of improvements," Peterson said.
Staff emphasized the application is still early and will be refined through public meetings and technical studies over the next 18–24 months; if approved by council it could reach LAFCO review in 2027 and the earliest home construction is projected around 2030. Madeline Graff, the city's public information officer and economic development manager, said staff will prepare environmental review and a municipal services review and noted a public workshop March 27 and an applicant meeting Feb. 1. Residents at the session pressed for clearer information about water supply, school capacity, public safety and protections for adjacent agricultural operations.
