FAIRFAX TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE April 2, 2026
PREPARED FOR Mayor and Town Council
PREPARED BY Bryn McKillop, Associate Planner
Jeffrey Beiswenger, Planning & Building Services Director SUBJECT Receive the Town of Fairfax Annual Progress Report on the General Plan and Housing Element for the Calendar Year 2025
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council receive the Fairfax Annual Progress Report (APR) for the General Plan and Housing Element Calendar Year (CY) 2025.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires that the planning agency of each city/town and county submit to their legislative bodies an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the General Plan and Housing Element and their implementation in the previous calendar year. The deadline for submittal of the APR is April 1 of each year, and it must be sent to both the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The intent of the legislation is to ensure the Town’s General Plan is relied upon for land use decisions and that it remains an effective tool for guiding development. The report provides the Town Council with information regarding the status of the General Plan policies and their implementation during the past year.
DISCUSSION
The APR is comprised essentially of two reports required by two different agencies, with the (1) General Plan APR to the Office of Planning and Research and the (2) Housing Element report on the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and Housing Element program implementation reviewed by HCD. This staff report and a copy of the full report will be submitted to both agencies.
The APR is completed in a form created by the Department of Housing and Community Development.
The purpose of the HCD APR table is to clearly identify the Town’s progress on meeting its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the current 6th Cycle (2023-2031). It also includes a detailed list of the status and progress of Housing Action Programs (Table D).
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
A key component of the APR is to report on progress towards meeting the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The RHNA is determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). The RHNA is a State-mandated process intended to ensure every jurisdiction plans for enough housing to accommodate future growth. The current sixth cycle RHNA (2023-31) the Fairfax allotment is 490 units,
a significant increase from previous cycles. The RHNA is broken down into income groups as depicted in Table 1.

RHNA Allocated by Income Level
Income Category 2023-31 Period

Moderate 71
Above Moderate 184
Total 490
The Town is expecting to see additional construction during the current RHNA cycle (2023-31) with ADU construction increasing and a few larger projects constructed in the later part of the cycle. In the first three years of the RHNA planning period (2023, 2024 and 2025) a total of 31 units have been built, with 15 units in 2025. For the full breakdown by year see Exhibit 2.
In addition to reporting on RHNA, the Town is also required to report on progress towards implementing the 2010-2030 General Plan (which now includes the 2023-31 Housing Element). The focus is on progress towards implementing Action Programs. A full list of programs implemented is included on Table D of the HCD spreadsheet (Exhibit 1). The programs listed below are noted for their implementation in the past year and in 2026 but are not exhaustive.
2025 Implementation Highlights
• Town staff participated in a Fair Housing of Northern California workshop at the Marin County Civic Center. (Program 4-D)
• Town staff participated in the Marin County Housing Working Group meetings monthly and benefited from jurisdictional coordination to complete other housing element programs. (Programs 2-F, 4B, 4-D)
• As a member of the ADU Center, Town residents receive pre-development assistance for ADU projects. Fairfax is considered a “high to moderate” user of the ADU Center. The ADU production numbers suggest that Fairfax residents are increasingly interested in building ADUs. In 2025, the Town issued seven times the number of permits from the previous year. Five ADUs received certificates of occupancy and 14 ADUs were issued building permits in 2025. By comparison,
seven ADUs received their certificates of occupancy and two ADU were issued permits in 2024. (Programs 1-H, 1-H, 1-J, 1-L)
• The Town has updated procedures to allow for pre-approved ADU plans. (Program 1-I) • The Town continues to provide fee discounts (50%) to encourage the construction of new ADUs and an amnesty permit program to legalize existing ADUs built without permits. This amnesty program does not expire until 2036. (Program 1-K)
• The Town continues to update its zoning code to offer incentives for ADUs/JADUs. Most recently, the Town adopted an urgency ordinance in December 2025 to align the Fairfax code with state mandates (including AB 462, AB 1154, and SB 543). (Program 1-M) • The Town has contracted with the Marin County District Attorney’s office in the past to offer rent increase mediation (for an over five percent increase over a year) between landlords and tenants and will continue to renew contracts with the District Attorney’s office. (Program 4-C) • Town staff connected with developers and other staff in Marin County at an Infill Builder’s Forum to discuss barriers to development in all Marin jurisdictions. (Programs 3-H, 4-A) • The Town ministerially approved a project at School Street Plaza on November 22nd, 2025 for 243 units, 41 of which are deed-restricted low-income units. (Program 1-B) 2026 Implementation Goals
• Staff are investigating options for the use of surplus sites (such as the properties on Forrest Avenue). A few non-profit developers have looked at these sites and expressed concern over the topography and related expense to develop. Staff will present options to the Town Council, which could include selling surplus sites to contribute to an affordable housing fund as an alternative to providing them to developers for workforce housing. (1-C) • Home sharing program promotion and assessment. (Program 1-F) • Continue membership with ADU Center and continue to post materials on the Town website. (Programs 1-H, 1-H, 1-J, 1-L)
• Investigate methods for facilitating small-scale housing development in town center. (for example, Program 2-J calls for a focused geologic study of downtown, which could help identify appropriate housing sites)
• Perform another round of outreach and tours of sites to developers. (Program 3-H) • Revise the subdivision ordinance to minimize construction costs for low-and-moderate income units. (Program 2-H)
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving this report. Implementation of some of the housing programs does incur costs. For example, Fairfax helps to fund the ADU Center, which is well used by Fairfax residents through a joint agreement, but this requires annual funding from each participating jurisdiction.

After outreach with nonprofit affordable
developers, the Town is reconsidering the
buildability of the town owned sites for
affordable housing. Affordable developer Habitat
for Humanity encouraged the Town to consider
selling the sites to single family developers who
can afford to build on steep slopes on narrow
streets in the hills of the Town. Proceeds from
the sales could then be used for the affordable
housing fund. In 2026 the Town will put together
a report to understand how to best utilize the
town owned sites to benefit affordable housing if
developing them is not an option.
