The Commission determined that the City of Suisun City General Plan was consistent with the Travis AFB Land Use Compatibility Plans with the addition of the recommended condition of approval.
The 2035 General Plan revision process was mainly focused on encouraging economic development and neighborhood revitalization and achieving a degree of sustainability. The most significant changes to the general plan occurred on the eastern edge of the City and included:
1. A significant increase in the amount of lands designated as Commercial-Mixed Use east of Walters Road, and

This condition takes precedence over any other parts of the general plan that might be inconsistent with this policy statement.
