Subdivision Ordinance
Chapter 26 of the Solano County Code establishes the Subdivision
Ordinance. The purpose of the chapter is to regulate and control
subdivisions of land and to implement the County's General Plan. The
regulations apply to all divisions, reversions to acreage, lot line adjustments,
and mergers respecting real property located wholly or partially within the
unincorporated areas of Solano County.
Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance of Solano County was last amended in October 2015.
The zoning ordinance divides the land within the county into 18 districts
comprised of traditional zoning districts including residential districts,
commercial and industrial districts, resource conservation districts, and
agricultural districts.
There are no compatibility concerns based on a review of the subdivision
regulations. Compatibility issues with Travis AFB are appropriately
addressed in other County Planing and Policy documents.
There is no overlay or regulations regarding land use surrounding Travis AFB
designated by the ordinance to ensure Compatibility. The ordinance refers
to the Travis AFB LUCP and the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission.
Any land uses within an airport area of influence or area of concern are to
conform with the applicable compatibility policies and criteria set forth in
the Travis AFB LUCP. The County’s zoing map does show largely agricultral
zoning districts within larger lot sizes abutting and in vicinty of Travis AFB.

and of occupants of land in the vicinity of airports, and to prevent
destruction or impairment of the utility of airports.
