Travis AFB Sustainability Study Report Final Background Report | Page 204
The Suisun Commerce and Logistics Center is a proposed 224‐acre industrial
development within the Special Planning Area. A final proposed land use
plan has not been developed, but this project could allow up to
4,236,864 square feet of new development of warehouses, manufacturing,
office, and commercial. In addition to the 224 acres, it has a proposed
128.6 acres of open space. The site is within Compatibility Zone C and Zone
B1, as identified in the Travis AFB LUCP. These zones establish maximum
densities and prohibit certain uses, including labor‐intensive industrial. A
preliminary review done by the ALUC of the application was found
consistent with the LUCP.
Future development south of Travis AFB
ISSUE
LU‐4
City of Suisun City has received plans for development
south of Travis AFB, including a potential interchange.
Compatibility Assessment
As Suisun City grows further east, future development is expected south of
Travis AFB, along Highway 12. Expansion of the city is limited in the north
and west by the City of Fairfield and to the south by the Suisun Marsh.
The city’s sphere of influence, established by the Solano County Local
Agency Formation Commission, extends about four miles to the east from
the city limits, south of Travis AFB and north of Highway 12.
Development is also anticipated north of Peterson Road, west of the
Irving H. Lambrecht Sports Complex. There is a 55‐acre site owned by the
Mount Calvary Baptist Church Corporation that is proposed to be developed
into a multi‐use facility, potentially including senior housing, a sanctuary,
and day care.
The Suisun City General Plan designates a portion of the land within the
sphere of influence, adjacent to the city limits and north of Highway 12, as a
Special Planning Area. While the area lacks specific use restrictions,
guidelines for the development of this area are as follows.
Promote development that enhances existing opportunities and
builds on community vision and goals.
Foster development that benefits the City over the long term.
Protect Travis AFB and its mission, while encouraging development
that benefits the Base.
Identify infrastructure needed to serve development anticipated
through 2035.
Plan development with sensitivity to environmental resources.
Streamline the development application and entitlement review
process.

The site is located within Zone C. Zone C establishes maximum densities and
prohibits certain uses, including schools, day care centers, libraries, and
nursing homes. Zone C is also located within the noise impact area, which
establishes interior noise level criteria for certain uses. The LUCP requires a
minimum noise level reduction of 20 decibels for building with
noise‐sensitive uses, including churches. A preliminary hearing was held for
this property with the ALUC on March 10, 2016, but no issues were raised
with the property in terms of potential noise concerns.
While the final decisions for future development that will occur in these
areas have not been completed, it is possible that future proposals in the
area may exceed densities or propose incompatible uses. However, the
Suisun City General Plan established Policy PHS‐16.2:
Notwithstanding other provisions of the plan, the City will restrict
land uses and the height of development according to the
requirements of the Travis AFB Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
