Housing & Development · Solano County
The Solano County Department of Resource Management announced Tuesday a proposal to rezone approximately 1,312 acres east of Collinsville from Exclusive Agriculture to Industrial–Water Dependent. This action aligns the land with the county’s 2008 General Plan, which previously designated the area for water-dependent industrial uses. County officials stated the rezoning does not approve specific development projects, such as shipyards, which would still require separate discretionary approvals and environmental reviews. The proposal follows the recent rejection of state legislation intended to facilitate maritime manufacturing in the area.
