General Plan Subdivision Ordinance
The General Plan provides a description for how the City of Vallejo intends
to develop in the future. The plan established goals and policies that
support the future of the city. The current City of Vallejo General Plan was
adopted in 1999, with elements updated as recently as 2015. Title 15 of the Vallejo Code of Ordinances establishes the city’s
Subdivision Ordinance. The ordinance includes provisions for subdivisions,
land divisions, and mergers for property that is located entirely or partially
within the incorporated limits of the city.
The General Plan addresses the elements of land use, circulation and
transportation, housing, education facilities, public facilities and other
services, safety, noise, air quality, and natural resources. Due to its distance from Travis AFB, Vallejo is not within any of the mission
footprints of Travis AFB, except that military aircraft may occasionally fly
over the city. Therefore, the city’s subdivision ordinance does not include
any regulations regarding compatibility to Travis AFB, nor are they necessary
at this time.
Goals, programs, objectives, and policies pertaining to Travis AFB are
included in the noise element. Although Vallejo is not currently located in
the noise contours of Travis AFB, policy 9 of the Noise goal states:
Building Code
Title 12 of the City of Vallejo Municipal Code establishes the Building and
Construction Ordinance for the city. The City of Vallejo has adopted the
following building codes:
Monitor any proposals to expand the Travis Air Force Base, or
the Napa County Airport in terms of increased noise levels in
Vallejo.
The General Plan also established a physcial boundary or sphere of influence
where open space between the cities of Fairfield, Benecia, and Vallejo will
continue to be preserved. This 10,000‐acre area is known as the Tri‐City and
County Cooperative Planning Area for Agriculture and Open Space.
2013 California Building Code, with amendments
Due to its distance from Travis AFB, Vallejo is not within any of the mission
footprints of Travis AFB, except that military aircraft may occasionally fly
over the city. Therefore, the city’s building code does not include any
regulations regarding compatibility to Travis AFB, nor are they necessary at
this time.
Zoning Ordinance
Title 16 of the Vallejo Code of Ordinances established the zoning code. The
zoning ordinance divides the land within the city into 15 zoning districts and
14 special zoning districts. Part II of the ordinance describes the regulations
and permitted uses for each district.
Due to its distance from Travis AFB, Vallejo is not within any of the mission
footprints of Travis AFB, except that military aircraft may occasionally fly
over the city. Therefore, the city’s zoning ordinance does not include any
districts related to Travis AFB, nor are they necessary at this time.
