Vacaville Christian hosts Victory Christian today at Keating Park. Dixon returns to SCAL action Tuesday, hosting Marysville. The company, Forecast Homes, has signed a contract to purchase a 20-acre site north of Vaca Valley Parkway at Browns Valley Road and is talks with the school district on building a school there, said Forecast Homes President Larry Young. Building a school on the site would be a complicated process because it would involve securing money from various sources and the site might have to be annexed into the city, Young said. The new neighborhood would generate 189 students, including 90 in kindergarten through sixth grade, according to school district projections.
Several steps remain before the project gets the final green light.
The school board hasn't approved the project, and neither has the Vacaville City Council. The Vacaville Planning Commission reluctantly approved the project Tuesday despite comments from several residents in the nearby Spinnaker Hills subdivision. Now the project will go to the City Council for final approval. A date hasn't been set for that hearing. Residents said they were happy living on the northern fringe of the city and didn't expect more intensive development in that area when they moved in.
