Document Description: The project analyzed in this IS/ND is the adoption of amendments to the 2030 Yolo countywide general plan and to the Yolo county zoning code to remove all references to the Dunnigan specific plan. Dunnigan is a small unincorporated town of approximately 1,000 residents, located along I-5 in northern Yolo county, 19 miles north of Woodland. The Dunnigan Specific plan is one of five areas in unincorporated yolo county that is designated as a specific plan in the 2030 Yolo countywide general plan approved in November, 2009. (The other four specific plan areas are in Madison, Knights Landing, Elkhorn, and Covell areas) The designated specific plan areas are agricultural lands located outside the designated growth boundaries of existing unincorporated towns. The purpose of the general plan designation is to require that a specific plan be adopted prior to any urban development being approved in any of five locations.
