Each compatibility zone and overlay zone have specific requirements and
regulations, such as maximum densities and intensities (indoor, outdoor,
and single acre intensity), uses that are prohibited within the given zone,
and additional development conditions. These regulations are separated
into General Standards, Noise Criteria, Safety Criteria, Airspace Protection
Criteria, and Avigation Easement Dedication.
Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission
The Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is
responsible for coordinating changes in local governmental boundaries,
conducting special studies that review governmental structure, and
preparing a sphere of influence for each city and special district within the
county.
The Solano County LAFCO regulates, through approval or denial, the
boundary changes proposed by other public agencies or individuals. The
LAFCO does not have the power to initiate boundary changes on its own.
The Solano County LAFCO also has the power to determine spheres of
influence for all local governmental agencies. A sphere of influence is a
planning boundary outside of an agency's legal boundary that designates the
agency's probable future boundary and service area. Factors considered in a
sphere of influence review focus on the current and future land use, the
current and future need and capacity for service, and any relevant
communities of interest. Spheres of influence are reviewed every five years.
