Planning commission studies 836-acre 'Harvest at Dixon' proposal; annexation would require LAFCO approval
Summary
At a study session the Dixon City Planning Commission reviewed the 'Harvest at Dixon' master-plan community: roughly 836–837 acres outside city limits, proposed mixed housing, parks and infrastructure, and an estimated $125 million in backbone costs; commissioners and residents raised questions about traffic, water and parks.
The Dixon City Planning Commission held a study session to review the Harvest at Dixon master‑plan community, an early application that would require annexation and several plan changes before any development could proceed. Staff described the project as roughly 836–837 acres southeast of the current city limits with a mix of low‑ and medium‑density housing, a small mixed‑use area, parks and public‑facility parcels.
Rafi Beloyan, the city's community director, told commissioners the application includes a general‑plan update, pre‑zoning, annexation and a development agreement; he said the city has held multiple outreach meetings and this session is intended to gather preliminary feedback. Contract planner Steve Peterson said the applicant-provided land‑use breakdown includes about 239.6 acres of low‑density residential, 291.9 acres of medium‑density residential, 47.7 acres of mixed use, 140.8 acres of parks/open space and about 5.6 acres earmarked for public facilities such as a potential elementary school or community center.
Peterson also flagged that the land currently sits outside the city's sphere of influence and, if the city ultimately recommends approval of the plan items, any annexation would then go to the county Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for a separate decision. He warned that "this is a very, very important move for the city" and that the project "could make a very significant change to the city."
