Although the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was closed in 1996, the waterfront
remains a historic location and continues to be a place for future
development that is compatible with the character of the area. The city
holds an annual Vallejo Waterfront Weekend in the fall where the
community comes together to participate in or watch outdoor activities

Current Land Use Overview within the Study
Area
The variety of land uses are a result of influential factors such as roads,
highways, commercial and industrial development, economic activities and
more. Solano County is unique in that the County limits residential and
commercial development outside of cities and has preserved approximately
80 percent of unincorporated land for open space or agricultural uses.
Much of land surrounding Travis AFB falls under a Resource Conservation
Overlay, as well as a Travis Reserve Area. Both Solano County and the City of
Fairfield have designated an area surrounding Travis AFB as a Travis Reserve
for continued agriculture and open space uses for potential future military
use. Additionally, the City of Vacaville has implemented an Urban Growth
Boundary as has the City of Fairfield. There is also a designated Greenbelt
between the two cities.
