SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-152 PD PMAM False Alarm Program
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Services Contract with PMAM Corporation for the Outsourcing of the False Alarm Program
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Dan Marshall, (707) 428-7374
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Police Department would like to contract with PMAM Corporation for outsourcing the false alarm program.
DISCUSSION
Since it was adopted, Chapter 10C of the city’s municipal code regarding Alarm Systems requires alarm users within the city to pay a registration fee bi -annually and charges alarm owners for excessive false alarms. This program began as a false alarm prevention program to encourage alarm users to closely monitor their usage, so false alarms do not occur and issues with equipment are fixed promptly. This prevents first responders from errone ously responding to false alarm calls and allows them to respond to more urgent matters promptly.
The Police Department currently utilizes CentralSquare Technologies for the outsourcing of the False Alarm Program. This includes billing, collection of payments, mailing renewals and responding to citizen inquiries. The current contract with Central Square is a profit share of 16% to CentralSquare and 84% going to the city. Our contract is up for renewal in September; and in the last year, we have seen a decline in the customer service provided by CentralSquare , along with a less than impressive collections process.
In March, the Police Department polled other local law enforcement agencies about the vendors they used for their program. The major companies that provide this service are CentralSquare, PMAM Corporation and Alarm Program Systems (APS).
With that information, we asked for quotes and demonstrations from the remaining vendors:
PMAM Corporation and A larm Program Systems. Between these two vendors and CentralSquare, they dominate the majority of the market for false alarm outsourcing.
After comparing several items, including customer service, collections process, profit-share split, and reference checks from current customers, PMAM Corporation stood out as the top contender. PMAM is the cheapest for the profit-share component (they will get a 14% share), is well-known and reputable among local agencies, has a dedicated internal collections unit th at works to ensure that payments are made, and prides themselves on customer service.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This agreement allows for a revenue share, with 14% of fees collected going to PMAM and the remaining 86% going to the city. There are no out -of-pocket or up -front expenses for the city.
The contract is for two years and is renewable at that time. The estimated portion of the revenue share that PMAM is to earn is not to exceed $55,000 annually.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-153 PD Approving Acceptance of the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program 2025-26
Approving Acceptance of the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program 2025 - 26 to Reduce Impaired Driving Traffic Collisions and Proactively Remove Impaired Drivers from the Roadway
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Dan Marshall, (707) 428-7374
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Fairfield Police Department has applied for and obtained tentative approval for a Cannabis Tax Fund Grant from the California Highway Patrol. The grant , worth $226,503.72, will fund impaired driving enforcement operations, impaired driving safety presentations, and impaired driving training for our officers.
DISCUSSION
The Fairfield Police Department continuously focuses staffing and financial resources on traffic safety. This is being done to improve the quality of life for our residents and visitors utilizing our local highways. The goal of the Police Department’s Traffic Unit is to reduce injury and fatality- causing collisions on our roadways. Several of the injuries and fatal collisions are caused by impaired driving. The Traffic Unit plans to reduce these collisions by dedicating enforcement resources to focus on proactively removing impaired drivers from the roadway.
This grant allows the Police Department to assign officers on an ove rtime basis and task them with specifically focusing on impaired driving enforcement. These enforcement operations will
focus on times and locations when these collisions are known to occur. Additionally, funding from the grant will also provide valuable impaired driving training to our officers.
In 2023, the Fairfield Police Department investigated 116 DUI-related traffic collisions. 43 of those traffic collisions resulted in an injury and one fatality. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department investigated 132 DUI-related traffic collisions. Of those traffic collisions, 36 resulted in some type of injury, and one resulted in a fatality.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
With acceptance of the grant, the police department will receive $226,503.72. The grant funding will cover overtime costs for police department personnel participating in the grant-related activities. A special programs fund will be used for the grant (Fund 155, Division, and Responsibility code 50199).

Fairfield Police Department
All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all Project activities and items detailed in Schedule A are applicable. Refer to Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved by CGU prior to purchase.
Project Description
The Fairfield Police Department is a busy police department for its size. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department responded to approximately 230 calls per a day, including on-view activity. Due to the high call volume, the patrol officers have very little time to be proactive and focus on proactive impaired driving. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff DUI saturation patrol shifts throughout the week on an overtime basis. Staffing these DUI Saturation Patrols will help reduce the overall number of traffic crashes within the city, specifically DUI related traffic crashes. If we can staff these DUI saturation patrols on an overtime basis, this would allow the officers who are working DUI saturation to be proactive and focus primarily on impaired driving. If staffing allows, the Fairfield Police Department would like to staff the DUI saturation patrols with multiple officers (at least 2). Having more officers visible in the public would also deter and prevent the public from potentially driving impaired or committing traffic violations. The Fairfield Police Department has a full time Crime Analyst who monitors all the DUI arrests and DUI crashes that occur within the city. The Crime Analyst provides quarterly reports, which shows the time of day, the day of the week, and where within the city that the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit has been using these quarterly reports for the planning of the DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. The Fairfield Police Department is committed to training their officers on impaired driving enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department currently leads in the county in the number of certified DRE-Officers. The Fairfield Police Department's eight DRE-Officers are looking for additional training to help increase their knowledge and expertise. The main training for DREs in the yearly IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference. This conference is scheduled for August 4-6, 2025, in Chicago IL. The Fairfield Police Department would like to send their DRE Officers to this conference to help increase their knowledge and expertise.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
BACKGROUND: The city of Fairfield is the Solano County seat and is home to the Travis Air Force Base.
Fairfield consists of approximately 40 square miles and has a population of approximately 120,000. The Fairfield Police Department currently has 116 sworn personnel. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit currently consists of four Motor Officers, one DUI Enforcement Officer, and one Sergeant.
PROBLEM: The Fairfield Police Department continues to see DUI as the primary cause in nearly 10 percent of the traffic crashes investigated. In 2022, approximately 12 percent of the 1,389 traffic crashes investigated were caused by DUI. In 2023, approximately 9 percent of the 1,345 traffic crashes investigated were caused by DUI. In 2024, approximately 11 percent of the 1,288 traffic crashes were caused by DUI. In 2023, there were 86 people injured in DUI related traffic crashes. In 2024, we saw a slight decrease at 69 people injured in DUI crashes. However, in 2024, there were five fatal DUI related traffic crashes compared to the two we had in 2023. The 2024 DUI related fatal traffic crashes involved alcohol and or drugs.
The Fairfield Police Department has been committed to arresting impaired drivers, trying to reduce the overall number of DUI related traffic crashes. In 2023, the Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit hosted five DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. The five checkpoints resulted in over 2,400 vehicles being screened, 9 DUI arrests were made, and 88 citations were issued for unlicensed/suspended drivers. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department hosted another five DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. Those checkpoints resulted in approximately 3,750 vehicles screened, 7 DUI arrests, and 98 citations were issued to drivers who were unlicensed/suspended. In 2024, the Fairfield Police Department made 319 DUI arrests. 62 out of the 319 DUI arrests were drug or combo. In 2023, the Fairfield Police Department was awarded with the Cannabis Grant.
Due to the Cannabis Grant, the Fairfield Police Department was able to conduct 189 DUI Saturation Patrol Shifts, make 1,494 car stops, and made 35 DUI arrests.
Schedule A
The Fairfield Police Department currently has eight certified DRE Officers. There is very minimal on- going training for DREs that is provided nationwide. One of the only and main training for DREs is the yearly IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference. In 2025, this conference is being held in Chiago, IL. Due to current training budget cuts, the Fairfield Police Department is unable to send the DRE officers to this conference
SOLUTION ENFORCEMENT: The Fairfield Police Department has started addressing this issue by continuing to do DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints and having a full time DUI Enforcement Officer. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff DUI saturation patrol shifts throughout the week on an overtime basis to help reduce the number of DUI related traffic crashes within the city. If we can staff these DUI saturation patrols on an overtime basis, this would allow the officers who are working DUI saturation to be proactive and focus primarily on impaired driving enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department would like to staff the DUI saturation patrols with multiple officers and or sergeants (at least 2). Having more officers/sergeants visible in the public would also deter and prevent the public from potentially driving impaired. The Fairfield Police Department has a full time Crime Analyst who monitors all the DUI arrests and DUI crashes that occur within the city. The Crime Analyst provides quarterly reports, which shows the time of day, the day of the week, and where within the city that the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. The Fairfield Police Department Traffic Unit has been using these quarterly reports for the planning of the DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints. If the Fairfield Police Department was granted with these DUI saturation patrols, the officers/sergeants working the operation would target the locations where DUI arrests/crashes are trending.
SOLUTION TRAINING: The Fairfield Police Department is committed to arresting drug impaired DUI offenders. The Fairfield Police Department has shown is commitment by maintaining certified DRE -Officers.
The Fairfield Police Department currently leads the county with eight certified DRE -Officers. In order for these officers to keep up on their expertise, I am looking for funding to send them to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Chiago, IL, August 4-6, 2025. This conference is one of the few trainings that is offered nation-wide, which targets drug related impaired driving. Sending these officers to this conference will enhance their knowledge and expertise as it pertains to drug related DUI. This training will also allow these officers to bring back the training they obtained and share it amongst their peers.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
DUI Saturation Patrols:
The Fairfield Police Department would like to conduct DUI saturation patrols every week. If possible, each DUI saturation patrol shift will consist of two officers or sergeants for eight hours. The purpose of having two officers per a shift is to have more police visibility in the community, potentially deterring impaired drivers. The Fairfield Police Department would like to conduct two DUI saturation patrols per a week. With approximately 52 weeks in one year, this would total 104 DUI saturation patrols for the entire year. 25 percent of the 104 DUI saturation patrols will be worked by Sergeants. This totals 26 DUI Saturated Patrols worked by Sergeants and 78 DUI Saturated Patrols worked by Officers. The DUI saturation patrol shifts would be placed on spec ific days of the week and at specific times of the day depending on when DUI arrests and DUI crashes are actively trending. Every quarter, the person managing the grant and creating the schedules will coordinate with the Fairfield Police Department Crime Analyst on when and where the DUI arrests/DUI crashes are occurring within the city.
GOAL:
The goal of conducting these extra DUI saturation patrols is to reduce the number of DUI related traffic crashes by 10 percent, and to proactively remove impaired drivers from the roadway.
104
Saturation Patrols (Q1=26, Q2=26, Q3=26, Q4=26, Total of 104 Saturation Patrols.) Aim to reduce DUI/DUID traffic crashes by 10 percent, which will improve roadway safety in the community. 28 of the 104 Saturation Patrols will be worked by Sergeants.
Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference: (Q1=8 Officers sent to IACP Conference). The Fairfield Police Department wants to send their 8 DRE Officers to the IACP Impaired Driving & Traffic Safety Conference in Chiago, IL, August 4-6, 2025. This conference is one of the few trainings that is offered nation- wide, which targets drug related impaired driving. Sending these officers to this conference will enhance their knowledge and expertise as it pertains to drug related DUI. This training will also allow these officers to bring back the training they obtained and share it amongst their peers.
Schedule A
Project Performance Evaluation
DUI Saturation Patrols:
The grant administrator will create stat sheets for the DUI saturation patrols. The stat sheets will allow the grant administrator to track each officer's productivity during their shift. The grant administrator will also work alongside the Fairfield Police Department Crime Analyst. The two will work together on tracking when and where DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. DUI saturation patrol shifts will be assigned based when the DUI arrests and DUI crashes are occurring. Quarterly reports will be conducted to track the progress on the ultimate goal, which is to reduce DUI related crashes by 10 percent.
Program Sustainability
The Fairfield Police Department is committed to reducing the number of overall traffic crashes and removing impaired drivers from the roadway. If in the future grant funding is unavailable, the Fairfield Police Department will do its best on continuing DUI saturation patrols and emphasizing traffic safety within the schools. The plan is to also expand the DUI Enforcement Officer Team. There is currently one DUI Enforcement Officer who works Wednesday through Saturday. The goal is to get an additional DUI Enforcement Officer for the other side of the week so there is 7-day coverage on DUI Enforcement. The Fairfield Police Department hosts on average six DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints per a year. The Fairfield Police Department will continue these checkpoints regardless of grant funding.
Administrative Support
The Fairfield Police Department's administration fully supports this grant. The Fairfield Police Department has received OTS grants for the past several years, along with this Cannabis Grant in 2023. Those grants were all successful and fully supported by the administrative staff. I personally have written and supervised OTS and Cannabis Grants.

Core topics of the City of Fairfield's current General Plan include land use and urban design, transportation, the protection of Travis Air Force Base, public facilities and services, parks and recreation, conservation and open space, and economic development. Chapter 1 of the General Plan (Attachment 3) provides an overview
of the purpose and contents of the Plan. The complete Plan is available online at the City’s website at:
https://www.fairfield.ca.gov/government/city-departments/community- development/planning-division/general-plan/general-plan-documents
Staff recommend using the remaining funds previously designated for the development of the Fairfield Forward 2050 project to fund a Professional Services Agreement to ensure timely and efficient implementation of short -term priorities in alignment with the City Council’s desired timeframes and priorities. These immediate priorities include:
Meeting State mandates related to the Housing Element and General Plan Establishing a General Plan cost-recovery fee
Completing a Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Report to support future annexations
Establishing implementation priorities based on community input
A detailed scope of work is provided in Exhibit A of the Professional Services Agreement (Attachment 4). The scope of work ide ntifies an additional optional task, “Task 6.2” for the full completion of the Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) study. This portion of the work will only proceed if a reimbursement agreement is executed with a project applicant to fund the expanded MSR preparation. The MSR would support future annexation efforts identified in the General Plan and fulfill Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requirements. A complete MSR is a requirement of any future annexation as identified in the adopted General Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
While the financial impact of General Plan implementation is not yet quantifiable, it is expected to facilitate future annexations and development. Establishing a cost recovery fee and potentially a General Plan maintenance fee as early as possible will help the City recoup implementation and maintenance costs, up to the full cost of the Plan. The proposed agreement is for a total not-to- exceed amount of $689,324 of which $578,836.40 ($503,336.00 plus a 15% contingency of $75,500.40) will be coming from the Intragovernmental Loan Fund (Fund 551) and $110,487.60 ($95,988 plus a 15% contingency of $14,499.60) which will be paid by the developer through a reimbursement agreement.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The General Plan reflects a collective vision for Fairfield’s future, shaped through four years of robust outreach and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders. Over 100 community activities—including workshops, surveys, and public meetings—generated meaningful input that directly informed the Plan’s goals and policies. Approximately 20 study sessions were held with the City Council throughout the process to share community input and research findings, and to receive direction at key milestones.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the City Council chooses not to approve the professional services agreement, it may instead direct staff to modify the scope of work, reconsider the selection of consultants, forgo consultant support—though this would significantly delay implementation, particularly development of the Municipal Service Review—or pursue any other course of action.

1 Introduction
The General Plan Update (General Plan
or Plan) establishes a community-based
vision for growth and development for
the City of Fairfield (City or Fairfield)
through 2050. This chapter presents the
City’s Vision and Guiding Principles and
introduces the General Plan and its pur-
pose, use, and policy framework. It also
outlines the process for amending and
updating the Plan to adapt to changing
circumstances.
The Plan presents a vital policy framework
with various strategies guiding future
growth. Comprehensive and forward-look-
ing, the Plan reflects the collective
community aspirations for the future of
the city. Consequently, the City aspires for
all decisions related to Fairfield’s growth,
management, and physical develop-
ment—ranging from transportation and
park plans to facility and specific plans,
development regulations and fee pro-
grams, and more—to align with the Plan’s
vision and objectives.

Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
1.1. Scope and Purpose of the General Plan
• Phase 2, Alternatives, explored
various options for realizing the
community’s vision, incorporating
input from community members and
decisionmakers. Stakeholders evalu-
ated different land use and circulation
concepts, leading to the selection of a
preferred plan concept.
• Phase 3, Policy and Document
Development, involved creating a draft
plan based on the approved vision and
concept from the earlier phases, along
with completing an environmental
review.
• Phase 4, Public Review, solicited
public input on the draft documents
and included formal hearings before
the Planning Commission and City
Council, culminating in the adoption of
the Plan Update.
Extensive and robust community engage-
ment was foundational to the develop-
ment of the Plan. Through workshops,
meetings, stakeholder interviews, open
houses, educational forums, surveys, and
online platforms such as the project’s
dedicated website, videos, and newslet-
ters, these initiatives engaged several
thousand stakeholders. With assistance
from a local community engagement
partner specializing in diversity outreach,
focused efforts engaged Fairfield’s mono-
lingual Spanish- and Tagalog-speaking
communities through in-person events,
targeted Facebook ads, and other chan-
nels of communication. The team also
interviewed five groups that serve or
represent Fairfield’s environmental justice
communities, or those most affected by
socioeconomic and/or pollution burdens
in the city.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
As mandated by California law, the Plan
addresses various aspects such as land
use, transportation, housing, open space,
conservation, safety, noise, and environ-
mental justice, both presently and in the
future.
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
PROCESS
Fairfield’s current General Plan was last
comprehensively updated in 2002, with
amendments made periodically since
then. Significant changes have trans-
formed the city and the region since then,
and the emergence of new opportunities,
challenges, and approaches necessitate
an update. This Plan represents a com-
prehensive reexamination and update of
Fairfield’s planning context. The General
Plan process involved four phases:
• Phase 1, Visioning and Background,
identified issues and opportunities
that the updated Plan should address.
This phase concluded with the estab-
lishment of the Vision and Guiding
Principles, a document that reflects
Fairfield’s shared values and future
aspirations.
A General Plan Advisory Committee
(GPAC), appointed by the City Council and
consisting of a representative group of
community members, worked closely with
City staff and the consultant team over ten
meetings to provide input and direction
throughout the process. Meetings were
open to the public, with community mem-
bers participating at several meetings.
The Planning Commission and the City
Council provided guidance at pivotal
stages, particularly during the Alternatives
phase. Through the approval and adop-
tion of this Plan, the City Council endorses
and embraces the community-based
Vision and Guiding Principles.
PLANNING CONTEXT
Fairfield is located in central Solano
County, midway between Sacramento and
San Francisco. One of the most diverse
cities in the nation, the City of Fairfield is
a vibrant community of approximately
120,340 people as of 2024. Over the past
few decades, and especially during the
COVID-19 pandemic, families have flocked
to Fairfield for affordable housing, good
schools, and proximity to mountains and
natural resources like Suisun Valley and
the Suisun Marsh. Despite population
growth leveling off after the pandemic,
Fairfield grew the fastest out of the 15
most populous Bay Area cities from 2010
to 2020.
Fairfield fosters robust commerce and
thriving businesses. Major employers
include Jelly Belly, Anheuser-Busch, Clorox,
various healthcare employers, and the
Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District.
The city is also home to Travis Air Force
Base (TAFB), which is located four miles
east of downtown. Known as the “Gateway
to the Pacific,” TAFB manages more cargo
and passenger traffic through its airport
than any other military air terminal in the
United States.
To continue flourishing, Fairfield must
remain focused on ensuring the availabil-
ity of a variety of housing at affordable
prices and for all types of families and
residents. For existing and new communi-
ties, Fairfield must provide and maintain
public services and amenities that sup-
port a high quality of life in all Fairfield
neighborhoods. Future growth will need
to balance economic development goals,
support environmental and agricultural
preservation in the surrounding county,
and strengthen the city’s community
identity and sense of place.
REGIONAL LOCATION
Fairfield is located in central Solano
County in the San Francisco Bay Area
along the California Coastal Ranges, just
north of Suisun Bay and Suisun Marsh.
The city is located at strategic transpor-
tation crossroads at the convergence of
interstates 680 and 80 (I-680 and I-80),
two of the Bay Area’s largest freeways,
and at a mid-point between Sacramento
and San Francisco (each 45 miles away).
Fairfield also provides the eastern gate-
way to Napa Valley, which lies 15 miles to
the west and is easily accessed via State
Route 12 (SR-12). Fairfield is accessible via
various modes of public transportation,
including Fairfield and Suisun Transit
(FAST) and Solano Express bus lines, and
two Capital Corridor train stations that
connect Fairfield to Auburn and San Jose
via Sacramento and Oakland, respectively.
1-5
Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
Undeveloped hills surround the city at
its western and northern borders. To
its east and northeast are grazing and
prairie grasslands. To the south, beyond
the neighboring city of Suisun City, is the
largest remaining wetland around San
Francisco Bay, the Suisun Marsh. The
Suisun Valley, one of the county’s unique
agricultural regions recognized for its
quality wine grapes and other produce,
adjoins Fairfield and separates the central
city from the Cordelia area. Figure 1-1
depicts this regional setting.
PLANNING BOUNDARIES
The General Plan Planning Area (Planning
Area), as shown in Figure 1-2, is defined
as the land area addressed by the Plan.
The Planning Area encompasses 278
square miles, including the City of Fairfield
(approximately 41 square miles) and its
Sphere of Influence (SOI) (approximately
11 square miles). The Planning Area is
generally coterminous with city bound-
aries, but includes a handful of areas
surrounding the city limits, particularly
around the northeast area adjacent to
Travis Air Force Base.
The Solano County Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) has
authority in defining Fairfield’s SOI and
acts on annexations and approval of
service contracts outside city limits. The
purpose of the SOI is to ensure the pro-
vision of efficient services by preventing
overlapping jurisdictions and duplication
of services.

Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
A primary LAFCO goal is to discourage
urban sprawl and the premature con-
version of agricultural and open space
lands. LAFCOs cannot tell agencies what
their planning goals should be, but on a
regional level, LAFCOs help coordinate the
orderly development of a community to
ensure the most efficient urban service
arrangements for the benefit of area
residents and property owners.
The Planning Area also includes the sur-
rounding unincorporated areas of Green
Valley, as well as Suisun Valley and the
Suisun Marsh Protection Plan area (225
square miles). Although Fairfield does
not have jurisdiction in areas outside of
its city limits, those areas bear a relation
to the city’s planning and the Plan must
consider them per California Government
Code Section 65300. The Planning Area is
bounded by Napa County, the Vacaville
mountains, and Cement Hill grazing lands
to the north; the Travis Reserve and unin-
corporated Solano County to the east; the
City of Suisun, the Union Pacific Railroad
tracks, the Suisun Marsh, and I-680 in the
southern portion; and unincorporated
Solano County open space to the west.
1.2. General Plan Organization
PLAN ORGANIZATION
The 2050 General Plan addresses all
state-mandated topics as well as addi-
tional topics of local importance. Chapters
include the following:
• Chapter 1: Introduction. This chapter
outlines Fairfield’s vision and guiding
principles for its growth and develop-
ment, provides a basic context for the
Plan Planning Area, and covers the
Plan’s purpose, relationships to other
plans, organization, and requirements
for administration.
• Chapter 2: Land Use and Urban
Design Element. This Element
describes the existing land use pattern
and provides an explanation of the
Plan’s approach to citywide growth.
The land use portion of this chapter is
a requirement of State law, while the
urban design portion is an optional
topic.
• Chapter 3: Travis Protection
Element. This Element ensures con-
tinued compatibility between the City
of Fairfield and TAFB, including land
use compatibility, support for military
readiness activities, and minimization
of hazards. This Element meets the
State requirements for the Land Use
Element topic of military compatibility.
• Chapter 4: Circulation Element.
This Element includes policies and
standards that seek to maintain safe
and efficient circulation for all modes
of travel. It identifies street improve-
ments and addresses walking, biking,
transit, and parking to support a multi-
modal circulation system. This element
is a State requirement.
• Chapter 5: Public Facilities and
Services Element. This Element con-
tains background information, goals,
and policies related to police and fire
services, schools, community facilities
and libraries, parks and recreation,
water supply and demand, and public
utilities. The public safety portion of
this Element is a State requirement,
while the public services portion is an
optional topic.
• Chapter 6: Open Space,
Conservation, and Recreation
Element. This Element includes
background information and policies
relating to resource conservation,
environmental protection, open space,
and recreational resources. It provides
a framework for the permanent pres-
ervation and management of public
open space lands, natural resources,
and the enhancement of community
recreational opportunities. This
Element meets the State requirements
for Open Space and Conservation
Elements.
1-8
1 Introduction
• Chapter 10: Economic Development
Element. This element provides
an overview of the population and
employment context in Fairfield, and
outlines goals and policies to support
economic development. This is an
optional element not required by State
law.
Together, these guiding and implementing
policies provide guidance for develop-
ment review, infrastructure planning,
community facilities and services, and
protection for the city’s resources by
establishing planning requirements,
programs, standards, and criteria for
project review. Specific actions tied to
each implementing policy are included
in an appendix. Explanatory material or
commentary accompanies some policies.
The use of “should” or “would” indicates
that a statement is advisory, not binding;
the appropriate departments will refine
details as they implement the Plan. When
more than one chapter addresses the
same topic, it provides a cross-reference
to other sections.
• Chapter 7: Sustainability Element.
This Element provides an overview
of existing and future efforts that the
City will take to improve sustainability
and mitigate the effects of climate
change. The Sustainability Element
includes information and policies on
greenhouse gas reduction, adaptation
to climate change, and conservation of
resources. This Element is not a State
requirement but supplements the
discussion of required topics including
water quality and supply, waste, and
air quality.
• Chapter 8: Health and Safety
Element. This element addresses both
natural and human made hazards in
the Planning Area, as well as emer-
gency preparedness and response to
hazards. This Element fulfills the State
requirements for a Noise Element and
a Safety Element.
• Chapter 9: Environmental Justice
and Public Health Element. This
Element presents background
information and policies related to
environmental, economic, and social
factors that influence people’s health
and well-being. Topics include pollu-
tion exposure, access to healthy food
and housing, and access to public
facilities and civic engagement. This
Element satisfies the requirement
for cities and counties with identified
disadvantaged communities to create
an Environmental Justice Element.
LU-2. PROMOTE A VARIETY OF
HOUSING TYPES TO SERVE
THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF
THE COMMUNITY AND
STIMULATE INVESTMENT.
LU-2.1. Residential Densities.
Require residential develop-
ment to be consistent with
the density ranges included in
the General Plan.
POLICY STRUCTURE
Each chapter of the Plan includes back-
ground information to establish context
for policies in the chapter. This back-
ground information is followed by guiding
policies and implementing policies:
• Guiding Policies are the City’s state-
ments of its goals and philosophies.
They describe the general desired
results the community seeks to create
through implementation of the Plan.
• Implementing Policies are specific
statements that regulate activities in
the city, guide decision-making on
an ongoing basis and direct imple-
menting actions to achieve the intent
of a guiding policy. Implementing
policies guide City staff and the
Planning Commission in their review
of land development projects and in
decision-making.

Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
1.3. Vision for the Future
VISION STATEMENT
Fairfield builds upon its strengths—a charming downtown, thriving and diverse neighborhoods, economic assets, and inviting and attractive natural surroundings and agricultural and ecological riches—to blossom into a complete, vibrant city, a place renowned for walkable, affordable, and pleasant neighborhoods with ample open space amenities; economic prosperity and opportunity; social stability and equity; and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.
Fairfield has evolved into a distinctive Bay Area community, renowned for its setting amidst productive agricultural land, open space, and intact natural areas such as the Suisun Marsh, the largest contiguous brackish (a mixture of fresh and sea water) wetland in the western United States, a point of pride for residents and an attractive destination for visitors to spend a few days. Fairfield revitalizes its downtown and arte- rial corridors into community-centered spines, offering enjoyable activities and spaces to spend time. Neighborhoods provide the full spectrum of housing options to meet the needs of all residents, and walkable and bikeable connections integrate communities with places to meet people’s daily needs for education, work, shopping, recreation and entertainment, enjoyment of nature, safe parks and green space, and relaxation.
The city’s competitive, dynamic, and forward-thinking business environment and stra- tegic regional location at the crossroads of I-680 and I-80 and at the mid-point between the Bay Area and Sacramento metropolitan regions supports economic opportunity.
Fairfield builds on its existing strengths, such as food and advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution, healthcare, and military industry, and lays the groundwork for the future economy through investments in infrastructure, job training, and education.
The city continues its support for the mission of Travis Air Force Base, which remains a major driver of local economic activity. Small and community-oriented businesses enrich downtown Fairfield and the North and West Texas Street corridors with a unique atmosphere and experience.
1-10
1 Introduction
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Foster Fairfield as a community
of vibrant, diverse, connected
neighborhoods, with easy access
to shopping, entertainment, and
recreation.
Fairfield’s future growth will see a new
focus on strategic infill development
with limited outward expansion,
emphasizing development in existing
job centers, and enhancing neighbor-
hoods with everyday amenities within
easy distances.
• Encourage a mix of uses including
flexible office space, retail, neighbor-
hood grocery stores, coffee shops,
childcare, dining and entertainment,
and other compatible uses mixed
with housing to create enjoyable,
complete neighborhoods.
• Focus development in areas where
city infrastructure and services,
such as sewers, roads, and fire pro-
tection, already exist to promote
sustainable growth patterns.
• Strategically add smaller parks,
such as tot lots or pocket parks,
within neighborhoods across the
city to provide more park space
that is accessible by walking.
• Designate land use intensities that
stimulate investment, while ensur-
ing that development scale and
design are appropriate to neigh-
borhood context and contribute to
Fairfield’s visual identity.
1 2
Improve Fairfield’s
transportation network with
safe and connected walking and
biking facilities, accessible and
reliable public transit, and new
transportation technology.
Many of Fairfield’s streets and
neighborhoods are primarily
auto-oriented, requiring residents
and visitors to travel by car to
reach most destinations. In the
future, Fairfield will increase travel
options across the city to ensure
roadway safety, promote sustain-
ability, ensure access to resources
for those who do not drive, and
create lively, pedestrian-scale
streetscapes. Fairfield will also plan
ahead for new transportation tech-
nologies, such as electric vehicle
charging, autonomous vehicles,
and other changes.
• Design complete streets to
accommodate a variety of
transportation modes and pri-
oritize convenient and comfort-
able walking, biking, and transit
access to key destinations such
as schools, employment cen-
ters, commercial areas, parks,
and medical services.
• Enhance connectivity across the
city and to other surrounding
areas by completing trails (such
as the Linear Park Trail), creat-
ing new paths, and strength-
ening neighborhood links to
transportation hubs, such as
the train station or transporta-
tion center.
• Integrate new transportation
technologies, such as auto-
mated driving and electric
vehicles, and intelligent trans-
portation systems (ITS) that
move people safely and goods
efficiently to and from their
destinations.
1-11
Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
Achieve a resilient, dynamic, and
competitive local economy that
offers opportunities across the
economic spectrum.
Fairfield’s location adjacent to
prime agricultural land and open
space, as well as major transport
connections along the Capital
Corridor has made the city an
attractive place for businesses over
the years. The Plan will promote
economic resilience in Fairfield by
building on its existing economic
strengths and diversifying into
other industries that are a good fit.
• Promote economic resilience
in Fairfield by bolstering its
existing strengths in food
manufacturing (as well as other
advanced manufacturing),
agriculture and linkages to
agritourism, logistics and
3 distribution, and life sciences
and healthcare.
• Attract and incubate a variety
of businesses, including those
that are climate- and ener-
gy-conscious, that provide job
opportunities to local residents.
• Proactively plan for the future
of business, including physical
and digital infrastructure such
as high-speed internet, ade-
quate and flexible land uses,
and employee housing and
transportation needs.
• Create an environment that
is supportive of continued
operation and needs of TAFB,
recognizing and leveraging
TAFB as an asset for recruiting
military-connected industry.
• Develop partnerships with
economic development cen-
ters such as local chambers
of commerce, educational
institutions like Solano College,
the Workforce Development
Board of Solano County, and
large private employers to
provide job readiness and local
hire programs that promote
employment opportunities.
• Encourage economic diversity
and equitable opportunities
for Fairfield’s diverse residents
through strategic investments
in new industries, pathways for
small businesses and entre-
preneurship, and job training
programs and educational
partnerships.
1-12
1 Introduction
Promote new housing and
support a diverse array of
housing types to meet the
needs of all segments of the
population.
The need for housing affordable to
residents across the income spec-
trum in Fairfield is pressing. Entry-
level and middle-income workers
in Fairfield, including teachers
and some TAFB employees,
require housing options beyond
single-family homeownership. The
City will support development of
affordable housing designated
for low-income residents as home
prices and rental costs continue
to rise across the Bay Area and
California.
• Increase the supply of housing
to support existing and future
needs as Fairfield’s population
grows, ages, and becomes
more diverse.
• Encourage development of
a mix of housing types that
provide current and future
Fairfield residents with access
to a full range of housing
opportunities. Housing will
be available across the spec-
trum so that aging residents,
entry-level workers, first-time
home-owners, transient military
families, students and young
people, unhoused residents,
and children who grow up in
54 Fairfield may all have access to
quality and affordable housing
that matches their needs.
• Promote housing in a diversity
of amenity-rich locations:
along corridors, in existing
neighborhoods, and down-
town, for those who wish to
live in integrated mixed-use
environments.
• Prioritize a range of housing
and shelter options that
meet the needs of Fairfield’s
unhoused populations.
Preserve Fairfield’s status
as a distinctive community
surrounded by and connected to
open space and agriculture.
Few Bay Area cities can match
Fairfield in the extent and diversity
of its natural resources and sur-
rounding productive agricultural
land. These elements define
Fairfield’s identity and offer key
amenities to residents and visi-
tors. The planned Pacific Flyway
Center—a wetland preserve with
an educational center and immer-
sive marsh walkway network—will
be a significant resource for both
residents and visitors. The Plan
envisions the city’s limited outward
growth while expanding connec-
tions to open space and regional
parks.
• Preserve Fairfield’s natural,
agricultural, and open space
surroundings, which contribute
to its visual identity, biodiver-
sity, and economic strength.
• Increase connections to open
space and regional parks and
strategically expand Fairfield’s
existing trail system, including
the Linear Park Trail.
• Increase opportunities for
residents and visitors to expe-
rience and learn about the
importance of the surrounding
area’s ecological benefits and
noteworthy agricultural output.

socioeconomic opportunity,
such as tree planting, com-
munity facilities that serve
as resilience hubs in times of
emergency, supporting green
jobs training, addressing urban
heat islands, and wildfire prepa-
ration, among other benefits.
• Decrease reliance on automo-
bile use through climate-con-
scious land use and growth
patterns that ensure a healthy
jobs-housing balance, increased
access to public and active
transportation, and improved
infrastructure that supports
pedestrian mobility, operation
of bicycles, autonomous
vehicles, and electric or other
zero-emissions vehicles.

Achieve a healthy and safe
community for all.
Fairfield will become a place where
everyone can live a long, healthy,
and opportunity-filled life. Multiple
factors, known as social determinants
of health, shape the health and oppor-
tunities of Fairfield residents. These
factors include access to parks, safe
and affordable housing, good jobs,
high-quality schools, and stores that
fulfill basic needs. The Plan promote
equitable environments so that all
Fairfield residents, wherever they live,
have what they need to thrive.
• Support development patterns
that promote active living through
walking and biking, connected
paths, green space and open space
networks, access to fresh, local
healthy food, and amenities and
services within walking distance.
• Improve public safety and effec-
tive emergency responsiveness,
including police, fire, and medical
response, and plan for adapta-
tion and resiliency in the face of
increased risks for wildfires and
flooding.
• Prioritize community investments
and resources, such as park
maintenance, street trees, or other
infrastructure improvements, in
areas of Fairfield with the greatest
socioeconomic need.
• Promote connections between
local growers and the local
food system to both support
farmers’ economic viability
and expand access to healthy,
locally-grown produce for all
Fairfield residents.
Emphasize environmental
sustainability.
Climate change and the extreme
weather it brings are an imminent
threat to Fairfield, as evidenced by
recent wildfires at the city’s edges.
Fairfield will be a leader in sustain-
ability and proactively address
the causes and effects of climate
change.
• Strive toward a zero-carbon
footprint by reducing green-
house gas emissions (GHG) from
energy use and transportation,
and by expanding use of renew-
able energies across the city.
• Promote climate adaptation
strategies that improve the
urban environment and

1 Introduction
Foster revitalization in the city’s
core and along key corridors,
building on the momentum of
recent planning efforts, including
the Heart of Fairfield and Train
Station specific plans.
Fairfield’s walkable central neigh-
borhoods and downtown, which
boasts unique local businesses,
restaurants, historical buildings,
and corridors with numerous
development opportunities offer
the potential of a vibrant, walkable,
mixed-use core, with access to
a range of amenities and open
spaces. The General Plan builds
on the Heart of Fairfield and Train
Station Specific Plans to achieve
vibrant transit-oriented communi-
ties in these areas.
8 The General Plan envisions corri-
dors as key spines and outlines a
spectrum of uses and improved
linkages in the city’s core, and
expanded opportunities along
North Texas Street. Broadening
housing, entertainment, and
small business opportunities in
downtown Fairfield will make this
neighborhood an asset to the
whole community. More housing
downtown and along North Texas
Street will simultaneously encour-
age business development and
provide an attractive destination
for those preferring more mixed-
use, urban lifestyles.
• Build on the Heart of Fairfield
Specific Plan by encouraging
small business development,
green spaces, community
environments, and a variety of
housing types. Promote acces-
sibility for all residents and
visitors downtown.
• Expand efforts to increase
pedestrian-oriented land
uses (including housing and
mixed-uses) along North Texas
Street. Emphasize public realm
improvements—to sidewalks
and bikeways, as well as to
landscaping and lighting—for
all streets.
• Connect transit-oriented
development and amenities
occurring within the Fairfield
Train Station Specific Plan area
to Central Fairfield through
transit, bicycle, and pedestrian
infrastructure.
1-15
Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
9 Create community cohesion and
sense of place by celebrating and
showcasing Fairfield’s diversity.
Fairfield residents represent a
broad range of social and cultural
backgrounds. This diversity
strengthens Fairfield as a commu-
nity. The Plan will work to celebrate
this diversity by supporting events
and programs, business enclaves,
and transformative community
spaces that provide safe, inclusive,
inviting, and fun activities for
residents of varying backgrounds.
Events and places that bring
together different segments of the
population serve to build commu-
nity by strengthening ties between
neighbors and contributing to
a shared sense of place, which
contribute to a unified identity for
Fairfield as a city.
• Celebrate Fairfield’s diversity by
encouraging a range of pro-
gramming and events that are
culturally relevant, affordable,
and attractive to community
members of all ages, back-
grounds, and abilities.
• Foster creation of gathering
places and community
resources that provide safe,
attractive, and fun activities
for residents of varying
backgrounds.
• Partner with nonprofits, faith
communities, and other
community groups in planning
for and delivering community
services and events.
• Work with neighboring
cities, Solano County, Solano
Transportation Authority, and
other local agencies to ensure
that future planning processes
are holistic and that Fairfield
neighborhoods are well-con-
nected physically, economically,
and socially to the surrounding
community.

1 Introduction
1.4. Related Plans, Programs, and Reports
FAIRFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE
AND ZONING ORDINANCE
The Zoning Ordinance is an important
implementation tool for the Plan and
provides permitted land use and develop-
ment standards for each land use cate-
gory. In addition to zoning designations,
specific plan and overlay areas may also
contain detailed land use regulations. As
with the General Plan, zoning designations
do not always coincide with existing land
uses and development intensities as built.
Fairfield’s Zoning Ordinance only applies
within city limits, whereas the SOI is under
Solano County zoning regulations.
The City maintains plans that implement
policies for specific geographic areas (such
as Fairfield’s downtown and the area
around the Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan
Train Station); topics of importance to
the community (such as bicycle infrastruc-
ture or economic development), or the
provision of public facilities and utilities.
State law requires that such plans and
implementation of programs (like the
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for
example) be consistent with the Plan.
This section describes plans and studies
that play a role in Plan development or
implementation.
FAIRFIELD HOUSING ELEMENT
As part of a jurisdiction’s general plan,
California State law requires the adoption
of a housing element to identify and
address the community’s housing needs.
Unlike a general plan, however, a jurisdic-
tion must update their housing element
every eight years to reflect changing
conditions, community objectives, and
goals. Fairfield’s housing elements must
reflect the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA) figures for each cycle
as determined by the Association of Bay
Area Governments (ABAG) and the Solano
County Subregion.
Fairfield’s 6th Cycle Housing Element for
the years 2023-2031 coincided with this
Plan Update. It sets forth goals related
to supporting production of an adequate
supply of safe, affordable housing for
existing and future residents and preserv-
ing and rehabilitating existing affordable
housing stock. Additionally, it aims to pro-
tect tenants from displacement pressures
and affirmatively further fair housing
throughout the city. Future updates will
reassess these goals and strategies and
meet future State housing requirements.
FAIRFIELD CLIMATE ACTION
PLAN
Fairfield’s first Climate Action Plan
(CAP) forecasts future GHG emissions
from a range of sources, establishes
emissions reduction targets consistent
with California’s goal of achieving carbon
neutrality by 2045, and outlines a broad
range of strategies designed to reduce
the city’s carbon footprint. The CAP uses
growth scenarios consistent with the Plan
to help the City monitor the efficacy of
CAP strategies into the future.

as part of the Plan update process.
Although these reports do not represent
adopted City policy, they provide useful
background information and data for
reference.
Existing Conditions Map Atlas
An Existing Conditions Map Atlas
describes Fairfield’s planning context and
delves into planning issues such as land
use and development, community design,
the economy and demographics, trans-
portation, public services and facilities,
environmental resources, environmental
justice, hazards, and noise.
Economic and Market Assessment
An economic and demographic analysis
provides an overview of the economic
context for the Plan Update effort,
focusing on factors that drive demand
for housing of various types within the
community over the Plan planning hori-
zon. This Assessment includes historic
population growth trends, local resident
demographics, residential market condi-
tions and trends, projected population,
and household growth. The Assessment
also explores local and regional economic
conditions and trends driving demand
for new housing within the community.
Various growth projections also informed
potential buildout of the Plan.
Environmental Impact Report
A program-level Environmental Impact
Report (EIR), prepared according to the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), accompanies the Plan and pro-
vides a detailed analysis of its potential
environmental effects. The EIR identifies
and incorporates environmental oppor-
tunities and constraints into the planning
process and includes mitigation measures
that help to avoid or reduce any adverse
environmental effects where feasible.
SPECIFIC PLANS
Specific plans implement the General
Plan through the establishment of more
detailed policies, regulations, and actions
specifically focused on their areas of
concern, or in defined geographic areas.
Figure 1-3 shows the boundaries of
Fairfield’s adopted specific plans.
Heart of Fairfield Specific Plan (2017)
The City adopted the Heart of Fairfield
Specific Plan (HOF SP) in 2017 following
a community-based process to develop
a vision for the revitalization and trans-
formation of the city’s downtown and
West Texas Street areas. The HOF SP
covers approximately 513 acres (or 0.8
square miles ) and contains Fairfield’s
historic downtown, the Solano County
Government Center, the Fairfield
Transportation Center regional bus and
transit hub, diverse commercial and res-
idential properties, and other amenities
that serve both the local community and
the wider region. The Suisun-Fairfield train
station, just to the southeast of the HOF
SP area, provides access to the national
Amtrak network. The HOF SP sets out a
vision for the Downtown and West Texas
Street area as the social, economic, and
cultural center of Fairfield. It envisions
attracting residents and visitors through
thoughtful design, destination shopping
and dining, lively activities, a range of
housing options, and convenient access to
regional transit.

Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
Short term objectives of the HOF SP
include creating a vibrant downtown core
through pedestrian-oriented policies,
facilitating and incentivizing the right kind
of development on eight highly visible
“catalyst” sites, increasing the mix of uses
throughout downtown, improving key
streetscapes and multi-modal safety, and
improving Alan Witt Park, among others.
Long term objectives include transforming
West Texas Street into an urban mixed-use
corridor, creating both public and private
neighborhood recreation opportunities
Downtown, implementing more Complete
Streets improvements, and relocating the
city’s Corporation Yard outside of the HOF
SP area, among others.
Train Station Specific Plan (2011)
The City of Fairfield Train Station Specific
Plan (TSSP) was adopted in 2011 and
amended in 2012 and 2023. The Plan
represented a major step in the intro-
duction of transit-oriented planning and
design in Solano County. The TSSP covers
approximately 2,972 acres (or 4.6 square
miles) in the northeastern portion of the
City of Fairfield, north of the TAFB. The
TSSP focuses on creating a transit-ori-
ented community, a model of walkable,
multi-modal, mixed-use living for the
region based around the opening of the
Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Train Station.
Additionally, the TSSP focuses on provid-
ing a range of housing opportunities for
various income levels, providing jobs to
promote economic balance, conserving
open space areas in perpetuity, and incor-
porating recreation and sports amenities.
As part of this planning effort, the TSSP
established a new Town Center district,
adjacent to the train station, to function
as the center of the Fairfield Train Station
community. The TSSP applied residential,
commercial, and mixed-use land use
designations to the Town Center area,
though as of 2024, the land’s existing
use remains industrial. The TSSP also
established the Lake District, a mixed-use
district organized around a 22-acre Lake
Park. The Lake District area now houses a
developing planned community of sin-
gle-family homes, a multi-unit apartment
building, a retail center, a linear park, and
the Lake Park. The first residential units of
the Lake District community, along with a
sales center and café, opened in 2020.
OTHER CITY PLANS
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Master Plan (2024)
The City of Fairfield’s first Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan
(PROSMP) is a comprehensive guide for
city parks, recreational programming, and
development that will inform improve-
ments and funding for years to come.
More specifically, the PROSMP determines
how Fairfield will improve, expand, repur-
pose, prioritize, maintain, staff, and fund
the community’s park assets and recre-
ational opportunities. The City will update
the PROSMP on a regular basis.

1 Introduction
COUNTY PLANS
Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan (2022)
Fairfield participated in the preparation
of the 2022 Solano County Multi-
Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
(MJHMP), an effort undertaken by the
County to mitigation the effects of nat-
ural hazards and plan for resiliency for
all residents of the county. The Solano
County MJHMP identifies wildfire, severe
weather, and storms as highly likely
occurrences in the county (between 10
and 100 percent probability in the next
year); and flooding, earthquakes/seismic
shaking, and dam failure as an occasional
occurrence (between one and ten percent
probability in the next year). The City of
Fairfield Jurisdictional Annex of Volume II
of the MJHMP profiles the City of Fairfield’s
hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation
actions to address these vulnerabilities.
State law requires update of hazard miti-
gation plans every five years. The MJHMP
is incorporated by reference and adopted
as part of the Health and Safety Element.
Travis Air Force Base Land Use
Compatibility Plan (2015)
Most recently updated in 2015, the LUCP
addresses compatibility issues relating
to noise, safety, aircraft protection, and
overflight. The LUCP divides all of Solano
County into six compatibility zones, each
subject to specific development standards
and conditions based on the potential for
compatibility issues. These include Zone A:
Runway Primary Surface and Clear Zone,
Zone B1: Inner Approach/Departure Zone,
Zone B2: Extended Approach/Departure
Zone, Zone C: Traffic Pattern, Zone D:
Other Airport Environs, and Zone E:
Remainder of Airport Influence Area. Each
of these zones imposes different devel-
opment conditions and prohibits certain
land uses based on the individual zone’s
proximity to the runways. The closer the
zone is to the runways, the stricter the
development conditions are due to the
greater risk of accidents and increased
noise impacts.
Solano County General Plan (2008)
The Solano County General Plan applies
to all lands outside the jurisdictional
boundaries of the seven incorporated
cities of Solano County (including the
City of Fairfield), which composes the
unincorporated Solano County. The
Solano County General Plan guides land
development and conservation in the
unincorporated portions of the county
throughout the Plan lifespan to 2030. The
Solano County General Plan is the primary
document used by the County to regulate
land use under California law. Zoning and
development codes, specific plans, and
individual public and private development
proposals must be consistent with Solano
County General Plan goals, policies, and
standards.
1-21
Fairfield Forward 2050 General Plan
Middle Green Valley Specific Plan
(2017)
Solano County adopted the Middle Green
Valley Specific Plan on August 8, 2017. The
Middle Green Valley Specific Plan covers
the unincorporated area immediately
north of the City of Fairfield boundary in
the Cordelia neighborhood. To its north is
the unincorporated area of upper Green
Valley, including the Green Valley Country
Club; to its east is Rockville Hills Regional
Park and Open Space; and to its west are
the Elkhorn Foothills. The Middle Green
Valley Specific Plan envisions Middle Green
Valley as a collection of small neighbor-
hoods along the base of the surrounding
foothills. It proposes up to 400 new
primary residential units, along with land
uses for agricultural tourism, local neigh-
borhood retail, community facilities, and
over 1,400 acres of protected agriculture
and open space land.
Suisun Valley Strategic Plan (2010)
Solano County adopted the Suisun Valley
(Valley) Strategic Plan in February 2010.
The area covered by the Suisun Valley
Strategic Plan encompasses approxi-
mately 9,000 acres located to the north of
the City of Fairfield between the Cordelia
and central Fairfield areas. The Strategic
Plan reflects the Solano County General
Plan land use map and zoning, which
designates a majority of the land for
agricultural use (92 percent). The purpose
of the Suisun Valley Strategic Plan is to
guide and provide information on how to
enable change in the Valley while achiev-
ing profitable family farms and quality of
life for residents of the Valley and of the
surrounding city. A major strategy in the
Suisun Valley Strategic Plan is the creation
of Agricultural Tourism Centers (ATCs), as
the Valley is home to significant agricul-
tural production of wine grapes as well as
orchard fruits. The Suisun Valley Strategic
Plan encourages collaboration with cities
to attract business and tourism industries
to the Suisun Valley through adequate
infrastructure, wayfinding, marketing
materials, community events, and other
improvements and promotional methods.
OTHER PLANS
Solano Transportation Authority
Plans
Solano Transportation Authority (STA)
serves as the congestion management
agency for Solano County. STA, the
countywide regional planning agency, is
responsible for countywide transportation
planning, programming transportation
funds, managing and providing transpor-
tation programs and services, delivering
transportation projects, and setting trans-
portation priorities.
The 2020 Active Transportation Plan (ATP),
a key STA document informing the Plan’s
Circulation Element, provides a frame-
work to help the Solano Transportation
Authority (STA) and member agencies
improve active transportation conditions
throughout Solano County. The 2020 ATP
builds upon previous active transportation
planning efforts and consolidates STA’s
separate Countywide Bicycle, Pedestrian,
Safe Routes to School, Solano Rail Safety
Improvement Study, and Safe Routes
to Transit Plans into one cohesive plan.
These plans establish countywide priori-
ties and provide project lists and program
guidance, which STA and local jurisdictions
can use to help people of all ages and
abilities feel comfortable walking and
bicycling.

1 Introduction
Plan Bay Area 2050 Priority Areas
Plan Bay Area 2050 is the Association of Bay
Area Government’s (ABAG) and Metropolitan
Transportation Commission’s (MTC) long-
range strategic plan for the nine-county Bay
Area region focused on housing, the econ-
omy, transportation, and the environment.
Plan Bay Area 2050 recognizes Priority
Development Areas (PDAs) and Priority
Production Areas (PPAs) as a key piece of
the regional growth framework. Figure 1-3
shows the City of Fairfield’s PDA and PPA
boundaries.
PDAs are areas near existing job centers
or frequent transit that are locally iden-
tified for future housing and job growth.
By focusing housing and job growth
near existing transit, PDAs help support
greenhouse gas reduction, mode shift, and
economic vitality. Fairfield’s PDAs include
the Fairfield Gateway (currently the Solano
Town Center mall), the Fairfield-Vacaville
Train Station (currently encompassed by
the TSSP), the Heart of Fairfield (encom-
passed by the HOF Specific Plan), and the
North Texas Street Core.
PPAs identify clusters of industrial busi-
nesses and prioritize them for economic
development investments and protection
from competing land uses. These districts,
zoned for industrial use, are already well-
served by the region’s goods movement
network. PPAs are an important part of
the regional economy and provide access
to good, middle-wage jobs. Fairfield’s PPA
encompasses the city’s industrial areas
south of SR-12.
1.5. General Plan Implementation and Amendments
IMPLEMENTATION
Plan policies are action-oriented and serve
as the Plan’s implementing mechanism.
The Plan is also implemented through the
Zoning and the Subdivision ordinances,
review of development applications,
decisions of the Planning Commission and
the City Council, specific plans, and the
City’s CIP. The Zoning Ordinance includes
detailed use classifications and standards.
The zoning map must be consistent with
the General Plan Land Use Diagram, but
it will not be identical to it. Additionally,
Specific plans and the CIP must be consis-
tent with the Plan.
AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL
PLAN
The Plan is a living document. As such, the
City should update the Plan periodically
as specific circumstances change, as
new state or federal laws and associated
requirements emerge, and if policies
become obsolete or unrealistic over time.
Changes in policy and/or the development
of unforeseen opportunities or needs may
require Plan amendments. Per California
Government Code Section 65358, the City
may not amend a mandatory element of
this Plan more frequently than four times
during any calendar year.
Within this limitation, the City may make
amendments at any time as determined
by the Fairfield City Council. Each amend-
ment may include more than one change.

TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION AND MANAGEMENT
Objective: Initiate and manage the project, maintainin g continuous and effective coordination with City staff and City’s Project Manager.
Understand key issues, organize background material s, and clarify the work plan.
Data Needs List (Team). Prior to a kickoff meeting, prepare and provide to staff a list of documents and other materials that will help the Consultant to gain familiarity with issues and concerns rele- vant to the project. Materials may include recent project applications, staff reports for use permits and Design Review Commission meetings, any department strategic plans.
Kickoff Meeting (Team). D&B will facilitate a meeting with City staff to review project objectives; discuss project issues and challenges; review the work plan, schedule, and preliminary engagement program; clarify responsibilities and expectations; and establish communication protocols.
Ongoing Project Management (D&B). Project management and tracking will take place on an ongoing basis and will include regular biweekly Zoom meetings with the City’s project manager, coordination among consultant staff, and formal monthly progress reports to the City. D&B will participate in all meetings; other consultant team members would participate as needed. Outside of these calls and scheduled meetings, the D&B project manager and principal-in-charge will be avail- able to City staff or the project manager by email or phone. As part of this task, D&B will maintain a schedule that clearly identifies project milestones and critical path items and provides a break- down of work tasks, durations, responsibilities, and linked actions.

TASK 2: COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Community Engagement Plan (D&B, DRD, VMWP). The following scope presents a diverse range of community outreach activities to engage a broad swath of the Fairfield community. Drawing from lessons learned from the Fairfield Forward 2050 process, outreach activitie s focus on en- gaging community members where they are . The Engagement Plan will include goals, metrics, and methods for reporting back to the community. To support City outreach and engagement more broadly and build staff capacity, the Community E ngagement Plan will outline best prac- tices, timelines, and templates that can be used for any supplemental engagement, or for engage- ment processes outside of this scope of work.
Community Engagement Plan components are described below; details and objectives for each outreach activity are outlined in each task.
• Go-To Outreach Events (4). In partnership with Diversity RD, go-to outreach will fo- cus on engaging underserved Fairfield communities through canvassing, pop-up events, presentations with established groups, faith-based organizations, celebrations, and other events in the community. An engagement summary will be provided within two weeks of the event. Go-to outreach will occur as part the General Plan Implementa- tion Plan and Rezoning/Code Amendments tasks. City staff will conduct 2-4 additional engagement events using materials prepared by D&B and provide summaries, which will be incorporated into final deliverables.
• Online Survey (1). Used to confirm community priorities as part of the General Plan Implementation Plan task.
• Interdepartmental Working Groups (4). Used to build consensus, define responsibility, and identify synergies/overlaps among City departments during the General Plan Im- plementation Plan. Separately, the City may supplement these working groups with similar working groups comprised of junior and mid-level staff. • Workshops (2). Used to introduce zoning/objective design standards to the general public and Code users and solicit input on key issues/directive arc for zoning changes, objective design standards, and process improvements.
• Stakeholder Interviews/Focus Groups (22). Conducted with City departments as part of the General Plan Implementation Plan (estimated total of 10), with Code users as part of the Rezoning/Code Amendments (estimated total of 8), and with service- providing agencies for the MSR Preparation tasks (estimated total of 4). • Planning Commission Study Sessions (2, plus two optional from contingency). Em- ployed during the Rezoning/Code Amendments tasks to present key zoning and objec- tive design standards issues and get Planning Commission feedback. D&B will provide
Fairfield Forward Implementation Phase 1
3 an agenda/objectives, presentations and materials, as well as planned attendance and facilitation at each of these sessions.
• Social Media and E-Blasts. D&B will produce three rounds of bilingual social media (2 pieces of collateral each round), one bilingual video, and language for four e-blasts, to be disseminated through City social media channels and DRD networks. One round of City review and incorporation of edits is assumed.
• Website Content. At the onset of the project, D&B will develop content for the City- maintained website describing each component of General Plan Implementation Phase
1. As deliverables are developed and community engagement details are finalized, D&B will provide the City with website updates for posting.
This is a suggested program , and as one of the first steps after award of contract, we would work with City staff to refine it as needed to best suit the needs of the project.

TASK 3: GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
Objective: Through department and city consensus building, develop an actionable General Plan Im- plementation Program that prioritizes implementing actions and tasks, assigns responsibilities, and tracks progress, in compliance with California law.
Initial Action Matrix (Team). D&B will create a preliminary list of actions associated with General Plan policies and catalog them by topic (e.g., zoning, infrastructure improvement) in an initial ac- tion matrix. In some cases, an action may advance multiple policies. F&P, WY, and BAE will sup- port development of action items, assist staff in prioritizing, and identify any potential funding sources.
Departmental Interviews (D&B). To supplement action matrix development, D&B will conduct up to 10 interviews with City departments, including the City Manager’s Office, Community De- velopment, Economic Development and Finance, Housing Services, Parks and Recreation, Police and Fire, and departments within Public Works.
Citywide Survey (D&B, DRD). After department interviews, D&B will develop a short citywide survey using an easy-to-use platform. The objective of the survey will be to confirm priority actions that departments would like to test with the community. To promote the survey, D&B and DRD will develop an accompanying Instagram Reel or video in English and Spanish to disseminate through social media. Results will be summarized in a survey report that highlights key findings
Scope of Work
4 and highlights any notable differences in responses between neighborhoods and demographics groups.
Go-To Outreach (DRD, D&B). DRD will focus on canvassing and participation at two “go -to” events in Spanish-speaking communities to drive survey participation. The team will engage com- munity organizations and interest groups, including local churches and parishes, youth and senior groups, and philanthropic groups, and booths at local events and farmers’ markets around town.
Virtual events using the Facebook Live or Zoom platform with live polling capabilities may also be used if deemed effective for engaging local residents. As described above, City staff will conduct 2- 4 additional engagement events using materials prepared by D&B and provide summaries, which will be incorporated into final deliverables.
Interdepartmental Meetings (Team). Because interdepartmental collaboration will be necessary on some policies, the team will bring departments together at four working meetings (two at the initial action development phase, and two to confirm responsibilities and priorities outlined in the final Implementation Plan) to coordinate resources, spot conflicts and synergies, and integrate community input. Early meetings may be used to brainstorm and collaborate on Action Plan for- mat and structure that best serves department staff needs.
Implementation Program (D&B). The final deliverable, the Implementation Program, will in- clude two components:
1. An internal Implementation Program, organized in a matrix format grouping actions by topic and by time frame, indicating implementation time frame, responsible party, and means of monitoring progress. All statutory requirements for annual General Plan Pro - gress Reports will be included. Major capital improvements resulting from the General Plan Update— parks, streets, water/wastewater system improvements — will be one of the grouping topics, enabling prioritization and phasing. Any supplemental technical materials such as cost estimates or prioritization assumptions will be incorporated in appendices. In partnership with City staff, D&B will explore the feasibility of using an editable spreadsheet format that populates a web-based dashboard, similar to the City’s Capital Improvements Performance Dashboard. Staff will be responsible for developing and maintaining the web- based dashboard.
2. A brief, supplemental, “public-facing” version of the Implementation Program that high- lights key priorities and phases by topic. This version will be produced in English and Span- ish.

5 TASK 4: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE COST RECOVERY AND
MAINTENANCE FEE ANALYSIS
Objective: Conduct fiscal analysis to establish an appropriate cost -recovery fee and assess feasibility and legal framework for a General Plan maintenance fee to support ongoing updates and revisions.
General Plan Update and Maintenance Fee Analysis (BAE). BAE will collaborate with City staff to obtain cost information for the General Plan Update (which may include d irect costs for con- sultants as well as the value of City staff time involved with managing and completing the General Plan Update) as well as estimates of costs for General Plan Maintenance during the expected life of the General Plan Update (i.e., before next comprehensive General Plan Update). The latter would include costs for expected Ho using Element Updates as well as other General Plan maintenance activities that City staff may identify. It is assumed that this will be a cost -recovery fee and not a development impact fee requiring a nexus analysis.
BAE will identify the quantity of residential and non-residential development that would be antic- ipated during the life of the General Plan Update and then develop a methodology to allocate the General Plan Update and Maintenance Costs over the exp ected development on an average cost per Dwelling Unit Equivalent (DUE), and if desired, on commercial per square foot basis. BAE will document cost assumptions, the anticipated amount of development to be served, the cost alloca- tion methodology, and the recommended fee schedule in a brief memo. BAE will prepare a Draft Memo for review and comment by City staff. Upon receipt of a single, consolidated set of comments on the Draft Memo, BAE will make revisions as appropriate and submit a Final Memo for the City’s use.

TASK 5: REZONING AND ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS
Objective: Update the Zoning Code and Map to implement the updated Housing Element and the General Plan and ensure compliance with new State laws. D&B will lead rezoning and amendments with support from VMWP; VMWP will lead objective design standards work.
D&B’s general approach to rezoning and zoning code amendments will fall into two phases.
Phase One. Because of the time-sensitive nature of rezoning needed to accommodate a shortfall of RHNA, Phase One will consist of rezoning actions (Housing Element actions 6.1 and 6.2), zoning amendments identified in Housing Element actions, and objective design standards (ODS) for mul- tifamily and mixed-use zones (Action 2.3) will be prioritized for completion before December 2025.
Phase Two. Phase Two will focus on strategic update of development regulations for the non-res- idential zones to ensure consistency with the General Plan, promote better urban design, and ad- dress other Staff priorities. The objectives would be:
1. Ensure consistency with the General Plan.
Scope of Work
6 2. Apply a consistent format to Zoning Code provisions for non-residential zones updated in Phase 2, reflecting the approach developed for residential and mixed use zones in Phase 1.
This could include use tables and diagrams to illustrate form-based development standards as appropriate, logical organization and structure, and review and rules of measurement.
3. Modernize development standards to achieve desired built environment and placemaking outcomes, such as enhancing walkability and improving the interface between public and private realms in commercial zones (in addition to those for residential and mixed -use zones developed as part of Phase 1).
4. Evaluate use permits for any conditionally permitted uses that are frequently approved us- ing the same conditions of approval , and make appropriate adjustments to enable these uses to be permitted by-right.
5. Strategically update existing definitions and create new definitions for modern land uses not currently captured by existing definitions.
Zoning Code updates encompassed by the Scope of Work are summarized in the table below:

It is assumed that City staff will address any needed updates to the Zoning Code not encompassed in the table above, including, but not limited to, procedures and administrative provisions (with the exception of conditional use permit evaluation), regulations for specific uses (such as cannabis), and non-conforming uses. Recently adopted regulations, such as for signs and wireless telecommu- nications facilities, would not be amended, nor would landscaping regulations, which already com- ply with the State’s Model Regulations for Water Efficient Landscaping.
Work tasks will be as follows:
Technical Review and Policy Matrix (D&B). D&B will c onduct a technical review of the City’s existing zoning regulations, counter handouts, Staff reports and procedures and evaluate the utility of best practices and innovative ordinance types in use by other cities. We assume Staff will provide a representative set of recent projects, including staff reports, a list of technical zoning issues iden- tified by Staff as problematic, a sample of variances granted, and standard con ditions imposed on various types of projects for the past three years. Findings will be reported in a memo.
A General Plan policy matrix will be prepared concurrently with the Initial Action Matrix described in Task 2, identifying what policies and programs relate to zoning and whether ame ndments are required for land use regulations, development standards, or review procedures . Annotations will use “plain English” commentary, with sufficient detail to indicate what changes will be made to current regulations and what additional research will be undertaken on specific topics.
Code User Interviews (D&B, VMWP). D&B will conduct eight small group interviews (four in Phase 1, four in Phase 2) with code users and stakeholders over two days to gat her input on key issues, challenges, and priorities. Participants, such as developers, architects, property owners, City staff, and officials, will be identified with City staff. Interviews, held vi rtually or in-person, will be informal to encourage candid feedback, with findings summarized in a sh ort memo highlighting common themes.
Fairfield Forward Implementation Phase 1
9 Planning Commission Study Session (D&B, VMWP). D&B will present and discuss the major issues identified by code users and community members to the Planning Commission. The team will provide recommendations for addressing gaps and problem areas in the existing regulations and achieving consistency with the General Plan through the proposed Code ame ndments. Study sessions will occur as part of Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Draft Amendments (D&B, VMWP). For each phase, an annotated outline of proposed amend- ments will be prepared to review with City staff. It will identify what existing regulations and stand- ards will be updated and what new regulations and standards are proposed. After approval of the outline, draft regulations amendments will be prepared. These will be illustrated with zoning dia- grams for form-based development standards. The scope assumes only zoning amendments will be prepared.
VMWP will work with D&B in the development of the zoning standards, primarily for Mixed Use and Multi-Family Zoning districts, which will be included in Phase 1. VMWP will model proposed zoning envelopes and test those with common building types found in the community, with various standards. ODS for building design, site planning, including parking and building locations, build- ing massing and articulation, façade patterns and building orientation and entries, as well as key building elements such as storefronts and transparency, awnings, windows and parapet copings and other key design elements for mixed-use developments. For Phase 2, the team will build on residential and mixed-use zoning and develop objective standards for commercial and retail uses, if desired. Draft amendments will be addressed in a comprehensive “redline” update. It is assumed that the structure of the overall code will remain intact. Draft amendments will include an admin draft, screencheck draft, and public review draft.
Workshops (D&B, VMWP). Two workshops (in each Phase) will be held as part of the Zoning and ODS development process to gather community input to translate the General Plan vision into guiding principles and purpose statements. Stations will present key zoning focus areas with graphics; VMWP will use community-based images to inform and refine objective standards. “Go-To” Outreach (D&B, DRD). The D&B team will conduct two (2) pop up events in English and Spanish, which may include short-term events, stop-and-share stations, and chalkboard chats to collect input from community members. Pop up outreach will also be an opportunity to raise awareness of the project in the community and drive participation in the workshop.
Hearings (D&B, VMWP). Our budget includes preparing presentation materials and attendance at up to two hearings for each phase (one each of the Planning Commission and the City Council).
These can be substituted for study sessions if desired. This scope also assumes that City staff may authorize use of contingency for up to two (2) additional study sessions, if desired.
Initial Study/Negative Declaration (D&B). D&B will prepare a CEQA clearance document, tier- ing off the General Plan EIR. This will likely be an Initial Study and Preliminary Negative Declara- tion. D&B will prepare one draft and one final version following a round of consolidated staff com- ments.

TASK 6: MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW (MSR) PREPARATION AND
TECHNICAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT
Objective: Develop a flexible framework for a forthcoming City MSR Update that supports addition or refinement of growth areas. This scope includes two components: 1) preparation of a framework for an MSR Update; and 2) completion of a full citywide MSR, to be authorized by the City.
Subtask 6.1 Framework for MSR Update
Subtask 6.1.1: Initiate Project and Provide Project Management (EPS). EPS will participate in a kick- off meeting to discuss and refine the overall Project goals, scope of work, schedule, contacts, and communication protocols. As part of project initiation, EPS will review relevant planning docu- ments and previous technical analyses to establish project context. In addition, EPS will attend up to three (3) project status meetings with the overall Project team.
Subtask 6.1.2: Assess Technical Resources for Municipal Services Review. EPS understands that each county’s Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO ) is charged by the State with balancing the demand for local services with the need for environmental protection and efficient urban develop- ment. Municipal Service Reviews (MSRs) are a key tool LAFCO uses to evaluate service levels, gov- ernment structure, and delivery. In this task, EPS will assist the City with preparing for a forthcom- ing City MSR Update consistent with the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganiza- tion Act (Government Code Section 56430) (State law).
EPS will review the previous City MSR, prepared in 2012, and the Focused MSR and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Update for Pacific Flyway Education Center, prepared in 2018, as a foundation for the City MSR Update. EPS will identify the service areas included in the previous studies and any identified issues or challenges.
After confirming any changes to the service areas, EPS will prepare Requests for Information (RFI) to be sent to each relevant service provider (e.g., City department, special district). EPS will coor- dinate with each service provider, providing the RFIs and engaging in a conversation to clarify in- formation and identifying any gaps or additional studies needed to fulfill the obligations of the MSR update process (e.g., determinations required by State law).
The RFIs will include requests for documents (if unavailable online) including, but not limited to:
- Financial reports and audits for relevant years
- Up-to-date master infrastructure plans
- General Plan documents
Fairfield Forward Implementation Phase 1
11 - Documents relating to Joint Powers Agreements
- Other Project approvals that impact MSR analysis
Each Department’s RFI will be augmented with additional questions specific to any issues affecting service providers. In addition, the RFIs will request each department identify any challenges related to efficient service delivery in new or refined growth areas, or as new planning priorities or land use scenarios emerge. EPS will work with the City to define parameters around the growth areas, new planning priorities, and land use scenarios.
EPS will prepare a summary document, entitled MSR Preparation and Technical Resource Assess- ment, which will include summaries of existing information needed for the MSR Update and any gaps in information or further studies needed. This document will also include a timeline for com- pleting any additional studies needed.
In addition to the service provider interviews, EPS is available to meet with the City and/or LAFCO staff in up to three virtual project status meetings to discuss and refine the RFIs and to identify planning and service delivery parameters.
Optional Subtask 6.2 Prepare Comprehensive MSR and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Updates
Subtask 6.2.1. Initiate Project and Provide Project Management Note: Because preparation of the Municipal Services Review and SOI Updates is a much larger effort, the scope of work in this task replaces the Task 1 language included in the original scope o f work.
However, the budget estimate for this task is distinguished between the original and optional compo- nents.
EPS will meet in-person with City staff to initiate the project, discuss expectations, and establish a common understanding of the project objectives, scope and deliverables, data needs, timelines, and responsibilities.
EPS will then facilitate a project initiation meeting that includes both Solano LAFCO and City staff.
The purpose of this meeting is to initiate the project and discuss expectations and data needs with Solano LAFCO. During the meeting, LAFCO and City staff will be asked to provide or direct EPS to all readily available information related to the project, including any historical data, relevant policies, guidelines, and regulations. The City’s General Plan and the most recently adopted budget will provide a strong baseline set of information for this effort, but any additional information that could be pertinent to the MSR and SOI Update preparation should be discussed during the project initiation meeting.
EPS will discuss general items related to the project, including the project management, communi- cation protocols, and analytical approach. The meeting will also include a review of the project schedule. The outcome of this meeting will be a clear understanding of the project scope, timelines, and expectations for all parties involved. It is recognized that Solano LAFCO has the responsibility to prepare and adopt the MSR and SOI as mandated under Govern ment Code Section 56425 and Section 56430 and to make written determinations regarding the MSR and SOI factors identified in the code.
Scope of Work
12 Also included in this task are check-ins and status updates with City and LAFCO staff on a regular basis to ensure that the project remains on schedule and on budget. These check-ins also allow EPS to respond to new ideas and directions as they emerge during the course of the work effort.
Subtask 6.2.2. Assess Technical Resources For Municipal Services Review Following preparation of the original scope of work, EPS identified the need for additional RFIs and department meetings. In addition, per direction from the City, EPS will add questions to each department regarding existing and proposed changes to the SOI boundary.
For this effort, EPS assumes that the eight service areas from the 2012 MSR are carried forward in this updated MSR and SOI Update: Water; Wastewater; Storm Drainage and Flood Control; Solid Waste; Circulation and Transportation; Law Enforcement; Fire Suppression; and Parks and Recre- ation. As part of the optional amended scope, the budget includes ten departmental meetings con- ducted virtually (one per service area , plus additional departmental meetings with Finance and Housing Services, as determined through conversations with Solano County LAFCO), conducted virtually. This task is essential to supporting further analysis and preparation of the MSR and SOI Update. It is anticipated that follow -up may be ongoing, particularly as needed to clarify and re- quest additional information related to specific issues.
In addition, EPS assumes that updates to the Infrastructure Technical Memorandum (TM) pre- pared by West Yost Associates as part of the City’s General Plan Update will be utilized in the prep- aration of the MSR and SOI Update. EPS will coordinate with West Yost to fully document current and planned service levels and delivery related to Water, Wastewater, and Storm Drainage and Flood Control in defined future growth areas. West Yost will provide a draft TM summarizing the potable water distribution and supply, wastewater treatment and collection system, storm drainage system, and flood control infrastructure for EPS and City review. West Yost will address and incor- porate two rounds of review comments and provide an updated TM to incorporate each round of review within three weeks of receiving comments. In addition , West Yost will answer questions from EPS and the City and provide additional detail as needed. It is assu med that future growth areas generally match what was analyzed by West Yost during the General Plan Update, and only minor additional analysis of the land uses and future utility needs will be required. West Yost will provide up to 54 hours of services for this task.
Subtask 6.2.3. Preparation of Municipal Services Review and SOI Updates This subtask will culminate in the final service provision report that addresses each City department under review and the City’s growth plans and service needs identified in the General Plan. The key items associated with this effort include the following:
1. Prepare Working Draft Report: EPS will document the data and analysis gather ed in sub- tasks 6.2.1 and 6.2.3 in a working draft MSR and SOI Update. Individual service area chap- ters will be submitted electronically to each department for an initial review and comment.
After incorporating any necessary updates, a complete working draft MSR and SOI Update will be p rovided to the City and Solano LAFCO electronically. EPS will revise the report based on a consolidated and nonconflicting set of City and Solano LAFCO staff comments.
Based on preferences, EPS can stagger review sequentially with eit her LAFCO or the City
Fairfield Forward Implementation Phase 1
13 providing an initial round of comments followed by a secondary review before or after revisions.
2. Prepare Public Draft Report: EPS will prepare a public draft MSR and SOI U pdate based on input received on the working draft reports prepared and provide it to Solano LAFCO staff for formal public review and presentation at a Solano LAFCO public hearing.
3. Prepare Draft Final Report: EPS will prepare a draft Final MSR and SOI U pdate based on input received at the Solano LAFCO public hearing conducted and direction from the Commission.
4. Prepare Final Report: EPS will prepare a Final MSR and SOI Update based on Sola no LAFCO staff review of the Draft Final MSR and SOI Update and will provide both an elec- tronic original and paper original suitable for copying. The Report will be considered final once it is adopted by the Solano LAFCO Commission.
EPS anticipates in -person attendance at one Solano LAFCO Commission Meeting as part of this update process. EPS can be available for additional meetings on a time and materials basis, as requested. The estimated project schedule assumes a two-week period between each of the report deliverables to allow time for City, LAFCO, or stakeholder review and comments.
EPS estimates completion within approximately 9 months from engagement. Howeve r, this schedule assumes that the required data and input from relevant City departments and Solano LAFCO are provided on a timely basis. The schedule may need to be adjusted in the event of delays and/or meeting scheduling beyond the control of EPS. EPS is prepared to begin work upon authorization to proceed. EPS understands certain City General Plan Amendments and CEQA Reports must be adopted prior to the Public Draft MSR and SOI Update release, so the schedule is presented as a best estimate with the understanding that the actual project schedule may be refined during project initiation and updated, if necessary, and upon consultation with the client, on a periodic basis. The schedule may be subject to additional changes to accommo- date the statutory public notice period for the MSR and SOI Update before a public hearing, which could potentially delay the public hearing timing if there are any outstanding comments on the administrative draft. The actual timeframe and specific dates will be determined in co- ordination with the City and LAFCO.

14 TASK 7: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CHECKLIST
Climate Action Plan (CAP) Checklist (D&B). D&B will develop a CEQA Compliance Checklist to streamline CEQA review for future development projects under CEQA Guidelines 15183.5. The checklist will include basic project information and determine if the development aligns with the City’s GHG reduction plan. It will identify key attributes and best practices for residential and non- residential projects to ensure consistency with the City’s GHG policies. This streamlined approach will allow for efficient CEQA tiering and ensur e consistency across project analyses. An admin, screencheck, and final draft of the checklist is assumed.

TASK 8: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW CHECKLISTS
Development Review Checklist (D&B). Our team can create detailed development review check- lists tailored to the City’s specific needs, organized by building type, objective design standards, and other relevant factors. These checklists will serve as a streamlined tool for staff, developers, and stakeholders, ensuring that all development proposals align with zoning regulations, design stand- ards, and City goals. The checklists will be set up to be electronically fillable. This scope includes a total budget for development of up to four checklists at $12,000 each, with specific checklist topics to be determined at a later date. This amount represents a not -to-exceed maximum. This task in- cludes two working meetings with Planning staff to determine checklist topics. Admin, screencheck, and final drafts are assumed.

Working meetings with Planning staff (2) Up to 4 checklists (admin, screencheck, final)
Fairfield Forward Implementation Phase 1
15 Budget
The guaranteed maximum fee for the scope of work identified in our proposal for the project is $599,324. With the proposed contingency of $90,000, the total budget is $689,324. This fee will not be exceeded provided there are no changes in the Scope of Work. The worksheets on the following pages show detailed hours and budget by task and sub -task for all team members. Two tables are shown: one for hours and one for fees. Fees include all personnel costs, sub-contractors’ costs, and direct costs, and delivery of products identified in the Scope of Work. Direct costs include work- shop materials and printing.
BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Our cost proposal is based on the following assumptions:
• Meeting Attendance. The budget assumes attendance at meetings as shown in the Scope of Work. Meetings with City Staff will occur as needed throughout the planning process, as specified in the Scope of Work. All meetings are assumed to be attended by D&B, with sub-consultant attendance as noted or as required. Costs of additional meeting attendance would be on a time and materials basis if requested; such costs are not included within the guaranteed maximum fee.
• Consolidated Comments and Direction. Unless otherwise noted in the Scope of Work, City staff will provide a single set of consolidated, non-conflicting comments on the review drafts of all documents. Unless otherwise specified, each product will be finalized following one round of staff revi ew; additional iterations and reviews will be considered additional service.
• QA/QC Review. At the onset of the process, D&B will provide a detailed schedule with review time for each task and subtask, to be agreed upon with City staff. Before submittal of any admin draft, senior -level staff will conduct a thorough QA/QC process and fully review deliverables. For the Implementation Plan and zoning changes, a comment and re- sponse matrix will be prepared to ensure all staff comments are addressed. • Presentations, Agendas, Meetings Summaries. D&B will prepare agendas, handouts, presentations, and meeting summaries upon conclusion of engagement tasks . D&B will also prepare presentations for all decision-maker meetings that we attend as well as a memo to support preparation of staff reports. As decision-maker meetings are structured around review of products, these products would be forwarded to City staff in advance of the meet- ings. Meeting summaries will be brief recaps of topics discussed and will not constitute actual meeting minutes.
• Electronic files. Electronic files of all documents will be provided in PDF and Word via email or file transfer service. PDFs will be provided in high -resolution print format and lower-resolution web -compatible format, as appropriate. D&B will also provide native electronic files of all documents created by the consultant team upon completion of the project – these may be in Word or for graphic -intensive documents, in Ad obe InDesign.
Maps will be provided in Illustrator or ArcGIS format, depending on native format.
Scope of Work
16 • Printed Documents. The consultant team will assume responsibility for printed outreach materials (e.g. large format maps, handouts, etc.). D&B reserves the right to bill actual costs in the event they exceed the estimates. In this event, substantiation of costs will be provided. • Reallocation by Task/Subconsultant. D&B reserves the right to reallocate budget by task or consultant team member, provided the overall project budget is not affected.

4) CONSULTANT NOT AN AGENT. Except as CITY may specify in writing, CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent.
CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement, to bind CITY to any obligation whatsoever.
5) ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED. No party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

All products which CONSULTANT delivers to CITY pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in a workmanlike manner, and conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in CONSULTANT's profession. CITY shall be the sole judge as to whether the product of the CONSULTANT is satisfactory.

10) INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS.
a) If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively “CITY Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of dete rmining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.
b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra- hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the pe rformance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees.
It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated.
7 Revised 1/09/2025
12) LOCAL EMPLOYMENT POLICY . The CITY desires wherever possible, to hire qualified local residents to work on city projects. Local resident is defined as a person who resides in Solano County.
The CITY encourages an active affirmative action program on the part of its contractors, consultants, and developers. When local projects require, subcontractors, contractors, consultants and developers will solicit proposals from qualified local firms where possible.
As a way of responding to the provisions of the Davis -Bacon Act and this program, contractor, consultants, and developers will be asked, to provide no more frequently than monthly, a report which lists the employee's name, job class, hours worked, salary paid, city of residence, and ethnic origin. 13) CONSULTANT NOT A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.

The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the CITY, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers. ii) For any claims related to this project, the CONSULTANT’S insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insured maintained by the CITY, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers shall be i n
e

iv) The CONSULTANT’S insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability. v) Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the CITY.
vi) The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated above shall not serve to reduce the CONSULTANT’S policy limits of coverage.

CONSULTANT shall require all subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance policies subject to the requirements of Exhibit D. Failure of CONSULTANT to verify existence of sub- contractor’s insurance shall not relieve CONSULTANT from any claim arising from sub-contractors work on behalf of CONSULTANT.
Agenda Item No: K.10
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: July 15, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-156 CD Approving an Amendment to the City Naming Policy
Approving an Amendment to the Naming City Facilities, Donations, Sponsorships, and Capital Campaigns Policy
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Dave Zellers, (707) 428-7436
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City uses a policy ( outside of the Administrative Code) to inform decision-making and activities impacted by the naming of city facilities, donations, sponsorships, and capital campaigns. City Council approved the policy on October 1, 2019, by minute action. Since that time, there have been opportunities for additional m aterial support that may not be acted on due to the policy’s verbiage. After feedback from council and the public over the past two years, an updated policy has been prepared for enactment.
DISCUSSION
Amendments to the policy are based on prior direction received from the council (at City Council Retreats as well as in regular City Council meetings) and from external feedback. The material changes to the policy include the following:
- Allowing for material support to be provided not only for a new city fa cility, but also to support the maintenance or improvement of existing facilities - Allowing for legally operating and licensed businesses that substantially derive their income from alcohol or cannabis sales to provide material support for city events , activities, programs, etc.; the policy limits this to those events and activities not expressly aimed at youth
- Clarified language around procedures for naming of city facilities including how the approvals take place and who is eligible for naming recognition
Prior to brin ging this item to council, the final draft was shared with the Honors Committee (consisting of two councilmembers appointed by the mayor annually). The Committee members did not provide any additional feedback. Included with this staff report is the new policy with the amended text. A clean version has been attached to the resolution as Exhibit A.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment to the policy will allow for the possibility of additional funds to support city events as well as projects to maintain and improve current or future city facilities.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION

POLICY STATEMENT – NAMING OF CITY FACILITIES
It is the policy of the City to provide a process for consideration of the naming of City facilities. As used in this policy and for the purposes of naming, “facility” or “facilities” shall include all City-owned infrastructure such as streets, parks, buildings, or portions of those facilities.
New facilities, additions to existing facilities, or facilities that have been or are to be restored/repaired substantially are eligible for naming.
The City shall review naming rights on all its facilities every ten (10) years.
The type, design, size, font, wording, placement, and other similar components of plaques, monuments, signs, etc. installed or placed at City facilities shall be approved by the City Manager (or designee) and align with the City’s style guide.
Pursuant to Government Code §34092, whenever the name of any street, park, or place is adopted or established by City authority, the City Clerk shall promptly forward a copy of the resolution, order, or other instrument providing for such new name or change of name or house number to the Solano County Board of Supervisors.
Naming Process
The process for naming a public facility will be as follows:
A. Timing of Naming. Facilities may be named at any time that the City Council declares by resolution an application period is open; these periods may be aligned to a capital campaign, the receipt of a donation, the City receiving correspondence of a pending donation, or at any other time at the discretion of the City Council. For specific projects, the Council may approve a prescribed donation amount required for a naming to be approved.
B. Application Submittal. A naming application shall be submitted to the City Manager’s Office. The City Manager’s Office may prescribe the form and necessary components of the application, which may change over time or to best match each particular request.
C. Application Review. The City Manager’s Office shall review the application and determine if it is complete and consistent with this Policy. Applications determined by the City Manager’s Office to be incomplete, without sufficient support, without sufficient justification, or that are otherwise inconsistent with this Policy will be returned to the applicant together with a written explanation for

POLICY STATEMENT – DONATIONS
It is the policy of the City to provide a process of consideration of donations. As used in this policy, “donations” refer to certain tangible objects such as benches, trees, cars, or artwork and/or the financial means for the city to acquire, maintain, restore, and/or renovate such objects as well as the maintenance, restoration, and/or renovation of City facilities.

The City reserves the right to reject any offer of donation, if, upon review, acceptance of the donation is determined not to be in the best interest of the City.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -157 IT Approving Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Park Consulting Group
Approving an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Park Consulting Group to Provide Post -Implementation Services for EnerGov (EPL), Enterprise Permitting and Licensing Software
Funding Source: $42,600; Computer Fund
Contact: Jeff Bertany, (707) 428-7531
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Information Technology (IT) department seeks approval for an amendment to the professional services agreement with Park Consulting Group (PCG) to provide post - implementation services for EnerGov land management system (LMS), permitting and licensing software.
DISCUSSION
The EnerGov permitting and licensing software (owned by Tyler Technologies) is one of the components of the Fairfield Fast Forward project to modernize the City’s ERP system. EnerGov serves as an integrated Enterprise Permitting and Li censing System (EPL), enabling the City to more efficiently generate permits and licenses issued to individuals and businesses operating within the City of Fairfield.
In 2023, the City contracted with PCG to assist with the implementation of the EnerGov permitting and licensing software. PCG provided an in -depth understanding of the functionality and structure of the EnerGov software, which was necessary to create custom reports, develop efficient workflows, and assist with go-live support.
The software went live to the public on April 22, 2025. Unanticipated additional support integration from PCG is needed to integrate the City’s HdL business licensing software into EPL.
Since this work is outside of scope of the original agreement, the City seeks to am end the professional services agreement to include integration and additional post-go live support for the EnerGov project.
This project aligns with the Council’s Goal of Organizational Excellence and Strategy for Developing Effective and Efficient Systems and Processes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The original professional services agreement with Park Consulting Group was in the amount of $557,400 and with this contract amendment the additional amount requested is $42,600, for a total contract amount not to exceed $600,000 to provide post -implementation services of the EnerGov EPL, Enterprise Permitting and Licensing software.
The term of this agreement would be extended from August 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, to account for additional support. The funds are available in the Computer Fund 522 (Project CITEGOV002).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The City Council may choose not to adopt the resolution. However, if the amendment is not approved, this will adversely impact post-go-live support and integration with Business Licensing software. The City will need to employ limited staff resources for this additional work, which will delay system optimization and create process bottlenecks with manual workarounds.

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: CM Animal Control and Animal Care Services
Discussion and Direction Regarding Animal Control and Animal Care Services Funding Source: General Fund
Contact: Liz Aptekar (707) 428-7389
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive presentation, open discussion, and provide direction to staff.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Humane Animal Control and Animal Care Services are dedicated to safeguarding animal welfare within city limits, ensuring public safety, and promoting responsible pet ownership. Considering rising costs and budget constraints, this report provides an overview of current operational approaches, legal aspects, and forthcoming steps.
DISCUSSION
At the Budget Update presentation during the Special Meeting on May 12, 2025, the City Council reviewed the increased costs associated with Animal Care Services and Animal Control. Council members requested additional information to clarify what the budget encompasses and the factors driving cost increases. The city manager also indicated that details regarding contractual obligations would be included in a subsequent report.
Key budget considerations include maintaining current service levels despite budget reductions, which remains the primary focus. Additionally, the cost of animal care and control services has risen due to factors such as inflation, higher medical and supply expenses, and increased demand for services.
To address fiscal challenges and ensure continued public safety, future animal service budgeting and operational strategies will focus on the careful allocation of limited resources to maximize
impact, prioritizing essential services that deliver the greatest benefit to the community. The City will also explore new or alternative service delivery models to improve efficiency and implement rigorous performance tracking to ensure accountability and sustained community safety. Next steps include refining budget strategies in response to rising costs and fiscal constraints, as well as evaluating and implementing alternative service approaches where feasible.

SUBJECT: Ordinance 2025-06 CD Vista Ridge Zone Change
Amending Chapter 25 of the Fairfield City Code, Article I, Section 25.12.3, also Known as the City of Fairfield Zoning Map, to Redesignate the Zoning of 3331 North Texas Street (APN: 0167 -130- 240) from Regional Commercial (CR) to Mixed Commercial (CM), Consistent with the Fairfield General Plan
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Yee-Lynn Wong, (707) 428-7449
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing; waive full reading, read by title only, and introduce ordinance for first reading.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Cameron Dart of Danco Group requests a Zone Change from Regional Commercial (CR) to Mixed Commercial (CM) to support the development of a permanent supportive housing project, consisting of converting an existing hotel into housing units, at 3331 N Texas Street (APN: 0167 - 130-240).
DISCUSSION
On June 25, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC2025 -3 recommending City Council approve the Zone Change (ZC2025 -004) from Regional Commercial (CR) to Mixed Commercial (CM) on a 1.5-acre site at 3331 N Texas Street (APN: 0167-130-240).
The applicant is working with the Housing Services Department on a project funded through the HomeKey+ Program, which is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The HomeKey+ proposal involves converting an existing three- story hotel into permanent supportive housing units. The target population for the housing
project includes unhoused individuals experiencing behavioral or mental health challenges, as well as veterans.
Under the project site’s current CR zoning designation, residential land uses are not permitted.
The proposed Zone Change from CR to CM will support the HomeKey+ Program project by allowing residential land uses at the project site. This Zone Change does not include any physical changes to the site or building. A separate entitlement application for physical improvements will be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval at a future date.
The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the site’s Highway and Regional Commercial General Plan designation in that the CM Zoning District allows for a broader range of permitted land uses, including many of the commercial and retail land uses currently permitted in the CR zoning district, with the addition of residential land uses. Further more, the land use change would support the following General Plan objectives and policies:
Housing Element Goal A-4:
Encourage infill development
Housing Element Goal A-5:
Facilitate a mix of affordability levels in residential projects
Housing Element Goal D-3:
Facilitate the development of transitional and supportive housing to meet the needs of unhoused residents
Housing Element Goal D-6
Ensure that new residential developments include housing accessible to persons with disabilities and others with physical conditions
Objective LU-1.2
Provide a variety of land uses throughout the city that foster the development of a balanced community and adequate housing
Objective LU-2.1
Require residential development to be consistent with the density ranges included in the General Plan
Objective LU-2.2
Promote the development of a greater variety of housing types and sizes in existing neighborhoods
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no direct financial impacts to the City.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division published a public hearing notice in the Daily Republic newspaper and mailed it to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site for the Planning Commission meeting of June 11, 2025, which was continued to June 25, 2025, and the City Council meeting of July 15, 2025. As of the writing of this staff report, the staff has not received any subsequent correspondence on the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Council may choose to deny any or all of the requests and not adopt the proposed ordinance. In this case, the proposed Zone Change would not occur, and the Homekey+ permanent supportive housing project would not be able to proceed.
