Where is a private school allowed in Suisun City?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Suisun City Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Suisun City's code calls this use “School, elementary/ secondary”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.

The code defines “School”: “An institution of learning for minors, whether public or private which is maintained pursuant to standards set by the state board of education and made applicable to the particular type of school. This definition includes a nursery school, kindergart” (§ 18.48.020)

APS, P, OS.

• RISK: only one zone (PQP) allows it by this row. The code also has a broader "Educational facility" row (S6: RL CUP, RM-RMU A; S7: CR blank, CSF P, CMU P, O CUP; S11: APS P, P CUP, OS -, PQP P) which probably covers schools in residential and commercial zones, so a page saying schools are not allowed elsewhere could mislead. Public vs private is not split.
• Not covered here: DMU (Downtown Mixed-Use) and MSMU (Main Street Mixed-Use): waterfront specific plan zones, use tables not in the text (S8-S10 only point to the specific plan); Zone names for RL, RM, RH1, RH2, RMU, CR, O, APS, OS, PQP are not stated in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
