Resources Supporting Preservation, Productivity, and Sustainability
To further its goals of preservation, productivity, and sustainability, the Green Valley Agricultural Conservancy has developed the following resources. These documents are intended to guide agricultural operations, natural resource stewardship, and community design within the Middle Green Valley Specific Plan Area.
Agricultural Business Plan
The GVAC has prepared an Agricultural Business Plan to provide a road map to establishing viable, vital and community based agriculture operations within the Specific Plan Area. This plan also includes guidelines for farmers and ranchers to assist in creating their own Agricultural Business Plans.
Resource Management Plan
The GVAC, in partnership with the landowners within the Specific Plan Area, is also creating a Resource Management Plan (RMP) based on biological research to establish a framework of management standards and performance guidelines for the on-going natural and agricultural resources of the Open Lands.
Together with the Agriculture Business Plan and the Neighborhood Design Code in Chapter 5, the RMP will be used by the Conservancy to ensure the on-going protection, productivity and sustainability of the Open Lands in Middle Green Valley. (Middle Green Valley Specific Plan Section 4.2.1)
Community Design Review
GVAC Design Review is required for anyone considering a build a structure on a lot or parcel located within the designated area of the Solano County Middle Green Valley Specific Plan. GVAC Design Review is required by Solano County before applying for or obtaining Solano County Building Permit(s).
The Green Valley Agricultural Conservancy is available to assist landowners, farmers, ranchers, and community members with questions related to these resources.
If you are unsure which documents apply to your property or project, or if you need assistance navigating the requirements of the Middle Green Valley Specific Plan, please contact the Conservancy.
