SECTION 1. Statement of Intent
The City of Fairfield has adopted a Zoning Map to address development consistent with the Fairfield General Plan and City Policy.
The City of Fairfield’s Housing Department is collaborating with the applicant to convert an existing hotel into permanent supportive housing units by using Hom eKey+ Program grant funding. Through the HomeKey+ Program, the California Department of Housing and Community Development administers grant funding to local public entities to convert commercial properties and other existing buildings to permanent interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
On April 7, 2025, Cameron Dart of Danco Group applied for a Zone Change for the subject property from CR to CM and an Environmental Review. The zone change will permit residential land uses at the subject property and help facilitate the permanent supportive housing project.
On June 25, 2025, the Planning Commission was presented with the revisions to the Zoning Map contained herein and, after holding a duly noticed public hearing, voted to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed revision.
The City has held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed revision to the Zoning Map in accordance with the rules and regulations regarding such.
SECTION 2. The Fairfield City Code, Chapter 25, Article I, Section 25.12.3, also known as the City of Fairfield Zoning Map, is hereby amended as shown on the Sectional Zoning Map Exhibit (ZC2025-004) attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Pursuant to Section 25.47 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds as follows:
The proposed Zoning Map change is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan; and
ORD. NO. 2025-06
The proposed Zoning Map changes would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city; and
Land uses under the CM zoning regulations are all compatible with the surrounding and existing commercial uses. Any anticipated development on the site permitted by the CM zone is physically suitable (including, but not limited to access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints); and
The proposed Zoning Map change is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on the information presented by staff, the Planning Commission has determined that the proposed amendment to the text of the Zoning Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review under Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exempti on. Land uses permitted in the proposed CM zoning are similar to the permitted uses in the CR District. Environmental impacts from any specific proposed development on the property will be evaluated at the time a proposal is considered by the City.

A summary of this Ordinance shall, within fifteen (15) days after passage, be published in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California with the names of the City Councilmembers voting for and against it.
