Solano County, CA Invasive Plant Rules: Prohibited Species (2026)

79. 79(A)(3) requires that a resource protection use show that adequate controls or measures will be taken to prevent invasive weeds, plants or animals from becoming a nuisance to surrounding properties. This sits alongside two other general requirements in the same subsection: the use must be consistent with the 2008 Solano County General Plan as it may be amended, and it must show that adequate controls will prevent offensive noise, odor, dust, fumes, smoke, or vibration, and that traffic generated will not create a hazard to surrounding property.

79(B), is expressly marked reserved, meaning the county has not yet adopted use-by-use standards, such as a named prohibited species list, for particular resource protection activities; the general invasive-species control duty in (A)(3) is the operative standard until the county fills in subsection (B). Because this is a general permit finding rather than a specific prohibited-species table, compliance is evaluated project by project when a resource protection use goes through zoning review: an applicant proposing restoration, wetland, or similar habitat work has to describe the controls, such as removal protocols, monitoring, or containment measures, it will use to keep invasive weeds, plants, or animals proposed or attracted by the project from spreading onto neighboring parcels.
