More than Dixon has seen in decades, but most of it isn’t approved yet. Homestead in southwest Dixon is still building, The Campus near Pedrick Road is approved for up to 1,041 homes, and two proposed master plans, Harvest at Dixon and Lombardo Ranch, would add up to about 7,125 more homes if they’re approved (City of Dixon, Harvest at Dixon page and Notice of Preparation, June 26, 2026; The Campus/Dixon 257 page, checked September 25, 2026).
The two big proposals are in environmental review. The city expects a draft report in early 2027 and hearings after that. Here’s each project, where it stands and the dates to watch.
What is under construction in Dixon right now?
Homestead. It’s the Southwest Dixon Specific Plan area, about 398 acres. The City Council approved 1,327 single-family lots in 2020, and 1,040 homes have been built, including some affordable housing. Two villages, Sunrise and Celebration, began construction in early 2026. The last one, Village 13, has been bought and named Bellera, and it’s in infrastructure work and master plan review (Dixon Grown, the City of Dixon’s development site, Homestead page, checked September 25, 2026).
Homestead also has its own Mello-Roos district, CFD 2019-1 (City of Dixon, Community Facility Districts page). Check any Homestead home’s tax bill before you offer.
What has already been approved?
The Campus, also called Dixon 257. It’s a 257-acre vacant site west of Pedrick Road and south of I-80. The City Council certified the environmental report and approved the project on March 18, 2025, and its two ordinances took effect May 1, 2025 (City of Dixon, The Campus/Dixon 257 page, checked September 25, 2026).
What’s approved:
- Up to 1,041 homes.
- Up to 660,000 square feet for the Dixon Opportunity Center, a research and technology center.
- A 2-acre commercial site and a 25-acre retention basin.
Approved isn’t the same as building. The city’s Dixon Grown site lists The Campus as “Approved / No Permit,” says its development agreement vests the approvals for 20 years, and says the developer is selling the residential part, with no sale final yet (Dixon Grown, The Campus page, checked September 25, 2026). No start date is posted. Watch for building permits.
What is Harvest at Dixon?
The biggest proposal in town. Harvest is a master-planned community on about 999 acres southeast of Dixon, proposed by LJP Dixon Development LLC, a partnership of the Lewis Group of Companies and Jens and Poul Karlshoej (City of Dixon, Harvest at Dixon page, checked September 25, 2026).
The city’s June 26, 2026 Notice of Preparation describes it this way:
- Up to 6,300 homes in low- and medium-density neighborhoods. The city’s project page puts the residential land at 583 acres.
- 41 acres of mixed use, a proposed elementary school site and a separate site for a future fire station.
- About 98 acres of parks and open space and a 102-acre stormwater detention basin.
- About 300 homes a year, built in four phases over 20 to 25 years, depending on the market.
A revised plan was submitted in June 2026. Harvest needs a General Plan amendment and a change to the city’s sphere of influence before it can move ahead.
What is Lombardo Ranch?
A smaller proposal from Brookfield on vacant land at Pedrick Road and East A Street, already inside Dixon’s sphere of influence. It would need annexation into the city.
The city’s latest official description is the June 26, 2026 Notice of Preparation: up to about 825 single-family homes on a 147-acre site (about 150 acres with the frontage road work), all expected to be all-electric, plus about 2 acres of neighborhood commercial, a 5-acre central park and a 5-acre linear park, built in three phases over about eight years (City of Dixon, Notice of Preparation, June 26, 2026).
The city’s project page still shows the earlier count from Brookfield’s November 2025 revised application: 795 low-density lots on 131.6 acres of a 150.2-acre site (City of Dixon, Harvest at Dixon page, checked September 25, 2026). The environmental report studies the larger number, up to about 825.
When will the city decide on Harvest and Lombardo Ranch?
Not before mid-2027, and likely later. The city’s timeline (Harvest at Dixon page, checked September 25, 2026):
- July 21, 2025. First Notice of Preparation for one environmental report covering Harvest, Lombardo Ranch and a General Plan amendment.
- June 26, 2026. Reissued Notice of Preparation after the Harvest plan changed. Comments closed August 3, 2026.
- Early 2027 (tentative). Draft environmental report released for public review.
- Mid to late 2027. City hearings to consider the projects.
- About a year after that. If the city approves, Solano County’s Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) reviews the annexation.
- The following years. Infrastructure, then homes over 20 to 30 years.
Next date on the calendar: the Planning Commission meets October 13, 2026 at 7 p.m. for an information presentation on the scope of the General Plan amendment.
How much bigger could Dixon’s map get?
A lot, on paper. The June 2026 Notice of Preparation covers about 4,233 acres. That includes annexing about 2,033 acres in the southeast (Harvest, Lombardo Ranch and 887 acres of other parcels whose owners aren’t part of the projects), and adding three areas to the sphere of influence: 745 acres to the north, 1,326 acres to the east and 90 acres along Pedrick Road (City of Dixon, Notice of Preparation, June 26, 2026).
The other parcels would keep their current land-use designations for now. A sphere of influence is where a city may grow later. It isn’t a building approval.
Doesn’t Measure B limit growth in Dixon?
Not right now. Dixon voters approved Measure B in 1986 and reaffirmed it in 1996. It capped yearly home growth at 3% of the city’s housing units and aimed for about 80% single-family and 20% multifamily homes (City of Dixon, Measure B FAQs, checked September 25, 2026).
The state’s housing department found Measure B didn’t qualify for an exception to the state Housing Crisis Act, because Solano County isn’t a “predominantly agricultural” county under that law. The City Council suspended Measure B on March 21, 2023, by Resolution 23-059, through the 2023 to 2031 Housing Element period. The city says the state’s determination stays valid until January 1, 2030, and it’s unclear what the law will require after that.
Has anything been dropped?
Yes. Dixon Grown lists the Blu Residential Subdivision as cancelled. It had filed a 2024 pre-application for roughly 1,750 homes on about 359 acres between East A Street, Pedrick Road and Vaughn Road (Dixon Grown, project list, checked September 25, 2026). Proposals change. That’s why we only count what the city has approved.
What does all this mean for my home’s value?
We won’t guess, and you should be careful with anyone who does. What we can tell you is what to check for a specific address:
- Distance to a project edge. Harvest starts near Parkway Boulevard and builds south, per the Notice of Preparation. Lombardo Ranch fronts Pedrick Road and East A Street.
- Construction years. Homestead, The Campus and possibly Harvest could all be building at the same time.
- Special taxes. New development in Dixon can join the city’s citywide services CFD, which started at $770 a year per single-family home. Ask builders in writing which special taxes apply, and take tax questions to a tax professional.
If you want your say, the draft environmental report is your chance. Comment during its public review in 2027.
