Welcome to the City of Dixon
Planning Division

Mission

The City of Dixon's planning services are administered by a two-member team of planners. The Planning Division has  primary responsibility for activities including: coordination and support for the Planning Commission; development, coordination and review of the City’s General Plan; environmental review for various projects (Environmental review responsibilities are principally defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which requires preparation of environmental impact determinations, environmental impact reports, and coordination with other local, State, and Federal agencies); review of plans for consistency with City zoning ordinance (including specific Plans) and development standards; review and issuance of special use permits; review and issuance of sign permits; and, activities related to City sphere of influence and annexations and much more.

Another essential function for the Division is to provide the public with information and guidance concerning development, General Plan policies, zoning district regulations, permit procedures, floodplain boundaries, planning statistics, property information, growth trends, and other information relevant to land use and the orderly development of the community.  We welcome your comments and inquiries. See the information listed at the end of this page to contact us by phone, fax, email, letter, or in person.
