Dixon Ranch - The 605-unit Dixon Ranch project was denied on a 3-2 vote 2/14/17. Thank you to all who attended 2/14/17 to help oppose this project. It was a team effort with help from many friends 'up the hill', and we are deeply appreciative. * The Dixon Ranch project is a proposal for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to convert 280 acres (4 parcels) of low density land currently used for grazing, into high density housing. The site is adjacent to the existing strawberry stand on Green Valley Rd near Malcolm-Dixon Rd.

Rural Communities United is working to overturn that approval, in which case the Dixon Ranch zoning would revert to the pre-Dec 2015 zoning of AE, or Agricultural Estate with minimum 20 acre parcel size.
