The total construction authorization for the Project was approved for $2,327,850.25. This amount included a total bid of 2,116,227.50 and a 10% contingency of $211,622.75. The final cost for the Project was $2,117,605.42, which is approximately 9.03% below the amount authorized for construction.
Following the council’s acceptance of the Project as complete, a notice of completion will be filed with the County of Solano’s Recorders Office.

Declaring the City of Fairfield’s Intention to Annex Territory (Courage Investments Warehouse Project) to Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 and Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes Therein for Annexation No. 71
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Valerie Standfill, (707) 428-7055
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the attached resolution will begin the proceedings for the annexation of certain property, known as Courage Investments Warehouse Project, to Community Facilities District 2012-2 (CFD 2012-2). CFD 2012-2 was established as an annexable district to provide funding to offset the increased cost for public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance created by new development.
DISCUSSION
On November 20, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-233, establishing CFD 2012-2 under the Mello-Roos Act with the intention that future development within the City of Fairfield would annex to this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the District are used to fund public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance.
The property proposed for annexation is owned by Courage Investments #2, LLC, a California limited liability company and is located north of Courage Drive and west of North Watney Way within the boundary of Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 0028-761-320 and 0028-761-350, as
shown on Exhibit A. The development of the property will be a light industrial warehouse.
Development of this property will change the property’s characteristics and manner in which the property will be used, thereby creating a need for more services funded by CFD 2012-2.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation process. This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995, on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a Mello-Roos community facilities district.
Adoption of the Resolution of Intention is the first step to annexing this property to CFD 2012-2.
This will be the 71st annexation to the district. The resolution also establishes January 20, 2026, as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property to CFD 2012-2. Once the annexation is complete, the property owners will be required to pay annual special taxes for the property beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2026-2027, as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the CFD 2012-2 Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
The CFD 2012-2 Rate and Method of Apportionment was established as part of the formation of the District and fixed FY 2012-2013 as the base year for the annual special tax rate as shown in Exhibit B. Since the formation, special taxes have increased based on the cost inflator allowed in the original formation documents. The special tax rate for the District for FY 2025-2026 is shown on Exhibit C.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The anticipated annual revenue to be received by the City from CFD 2012-2 (Fund 332) for this annexation is estimated to be $4,006.05, which is based on the FY 2025-2026 maximum special tax rate of $0.029 per net square foot of lot area for 134,164 square feet for Industrial property.
The CFD 2012-2 maximum special tax rates include an automatic annual consumer price index (CPI) adjustment. The process for the annexation is funded by the developer, and no general fund money is used for this effort.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the council has any questions concerning the required annexation of this development, this item may be rescheduled until the next council meeting to allow staff to provide the necessary background information. However, if the annexation is not approved, the conditions of approval for this development would not be fulfilled and the development process would cease.

RES. NO. 2025-226
Section 4. The types of public services financed by the CFD and pursuant to the Act consist of those services (Services) described in Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2012-233 adopted by the council on the 20th day of November 2012, (Resolution of Formation). It is presently intended that the Services will be shared, without preference or priority, by the existing territory in the CFD and the territory proposed to be annexed to the CFD. It has been determined that this project will intensify the use of the property, creating a need for more services under this CFD.
Section 5. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the CFD to pay for the Services and/or the principal and interest as it becomes due on bonds of the CFD issued to finance the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs thereof is intended to be levied annually within the CFD and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes. The proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special tax among the parcels of real property within the CFD, as now in existence and following the annexation proposed herein, and in sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the territory proposed to be annexed to the CFD to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have to pay, is described in Exhibit B, and the maximum special tax rate for the 2025-2026 fiscal year is described in Exhibit C. Both Exhibits are hereby incorporated by this reference.
Section 6. Notice is given that on January 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., in the regular meeting place of the council at Harry T. Price Memorial Council Chamber, located at 1000 Webster Street, Fairfield, California, the council, as legislative body for the CFD, will conduct a public hearing on the annexation of territory to the CFD and consider and finally determine whether the public interest, convenience and necessity require said annexation of territory to the CFD and the levy of said special tax therein.
Section 7. The city clerk is hereby directed to cause notice of said public hearing to be given by publication one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the CFD. The publication of said notice shall be completed at least seven days before the date herein set for said hearing.
Said notice shall be substantially in the form specified in Section 53339.4 of the Act.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: November 18, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-227 PW Annex Territory and Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes Declaring the City of Fairfield Intention to Annex Territory (Archway Recovery Services) to Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 and Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes Therein for Annexation No. 72
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Valerie Standfill, (707) 428-7055
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the attached resolution will begin the proceedings for the annexation of certain property, known as Archway Recovery Services, to Community Facilities District 2012-2 (CFD 2012-2). CFD 2012-2 was established as an annexable district to provide funding to offset the increased cost for public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance created by new development.
DISCUSSION
On November 20, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-233, establishing CFD 2012-2 under the Mello-Roos Act with the intention that future development within the City of Fairfield would annex to this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the District are used to fund public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance.
The property proposed for annexation is owned by St. Stephen Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, a California non-profit religious corporation and is located south of Peach Tree Drive and east of Heath Drive within the boundary of assessor’s parcel number (APN) 0034-050-320, as shown on Exhibit A. The development on the property will be a rehabilitation center (Archway Recovery Services). Development of this property will change the property’s characteristics and
manner in which the property will be used, thereby creating a need for more services funded by CFD 2012-2.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation process. This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995, on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a Mello-Roos community facilities district.
Adoption of the Resolution of Intention is the first step to annexing this property to CFD 2012-2.
This will be the 72nd annexation to the district. The resolution also establishes January 20, 2026, as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property to CFD 2012-2. Once the annexation is complete, the property owners will be required to pay annual special taxes for the property beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2026-2027, as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the CFD 2012-2 Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
The CFD 2012-2 Rate and Method of Apportionment was established as part of the formation of the District and fixed FY 2012-2013 as the base year for the annual special tax rate as shown in Exhibit B. Since the formation, special taxes have increased based on a cost inflator allowed in the original formation documents. The special tax rate for the District for FY 2025-2026 is shown on Exhibit C.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The anticipated annual revenue to be received by the City from (Community Facilities District 2012-2 Fund) for this annexation is estimated to be $5,643.42, which is based on the FY 2025-2026 maximum special tax rate of $0.314 per net square foot of building area for 18,000 square feet for commercial property. The CFD 2012-2 maximum special tax rates include an automatic annual consumer price index (CPI) adjustment. The process for the annexation is funded by the developer, and no general fund money will be used for this effort.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the council has any questions concerning the required annexation of this development, this item may be rescheduled until the next council meeting to allow staff to provide the necessary background information. However, if the annexation is not approved, the conditions of approval for this development would not be fulfilled and the development process would cease.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: November 18, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance 2025-09 CD Mobile Food Vending and Licensing 2nd Reading Creating Chapter 5F (Mobile Food Vending and Licensing Ordinance) of the Fairfield Municipal Code to Establish Mobile Food Vendor Regulations
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Keisha Mamaril, (707) 428-7039
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide second reading and adopt Ordinance 2025-09.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The growing popularity of mobile food vendors has increased demand for clear operational guidelines. The proposed ordinance would amend the Fairfield Municipal Code to permit and regulate mobile food vendor activities within city limits.
DISCUSSION
Mobile food vendors have become a popular and convenient dining option, contributing to the diversity and vibrancy of the local economy. However, the City currently lacks clear guidelines and regulations specific to mobile food vendors to address the operation of these businesses, which has led to issues for code enforcement. These include mobile food vending vehicles parking in unauthorized areas, blocking traffic and pedestrian paths, and failing to meet health and safety standards. The absence of clear and enforceable regulations allows mobile food vendors to operate at a lower cost and at a proximity that impedes regular business operations for established brick and mortar restaurants, creating unfair competition.
The proposed ordinance is designed to regulate the location, hours of operation, and business practices of mobile food vendors in a way that ensures they operate responsibly and contribute positively to the community.
The ordinance would provide:
Permitting Requirements: A fair process for obtaining the necessary permits to operate a mobile food vending vehicle, including health and safety inspections and annual licensing. Operating Hours and Restrictions: Guidelines to prevent mobile food vendors from operating in areas that could disrupt traffic or impede regular business operations of local restaurants.
Public Safety and Sanitation Standards: Requirements for mobile food vendors to maintain clean and sanitary conditions, including waste disposal and food handling standards.
This ordinance aims to provide clear and enforceable regulations that support a healthy and sustainable mobile food vending industry while maintaining public safety, supporting local businesses, and minimizing disruptions in the community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance on mobile food vendors is expected to generate additional revenue through a new permitting and licensing system. This would include application fees, and fines for non-compliance. The new fees are anticipated to offset the administrative costs of enforcement, monitoring, and inspections. By creating a more regulated environment, the City can also reduce costs associated with code enforcement issues and unregulated operations, which currently strain resources.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The Economic Development Division published a public hearing notice in the Daily Republic newspaper on September 3, 2025, and on September 28, 2025. The council held a public hearing for the item on October 21, 2025, and moved to introduce Ordinance 2025-09 for a first reading.
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 Mobile Food Vending and Licensing permitting process would not occur, and the existing Peddler’s Permit process would remain to permit mobile food vendor operations.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide second reading and adopt Ordinance 2025-12
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Rob White of Rancho Tolenas Corporation requests a Zone Change from Public Facilities (PF) to Residential Medium (RM) to support the development of the Parkside project (Project), a 76 single-family residential subdivision on a vacant 7.99-acre parcel east of Passion Lane, south of Gulf Drive, and north of the Fairfield Linear Park Trail (APN: 0170–010-052).
DISCUSSION
On October 8, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC2025-07 approving Tentative Subdivision Map (TS2025-002) and Development Review Single Family (DR2025-005) for the subdivision of a vacant 7.99-acre parcel into 76 single-family residential units and a water quality basin and pollinator garden; and recommending City Council approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA2025-002), Zone Change (ZC2025-003), and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum (ER2025-004). Additionally, the commission approved an update to the Villages at Fairfield Master Plan’s Design Guidelines.
On November 4, 2025, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2025-212 approving the addendum to the Villages at Fairfield EIR and approving the General Plan Amendment to redesignate the Project site from PF to RM.
The proposed Zone Change will redesignate the Project site from PF to RM to support the singlefamily subdivision. A detailed description of the Project can be found in the Planning Commission Staff Report included as Attachment 8. The Project is consistent with the following General Plan policies and objectives:
Policy LU-1. Maintain Fairfield as a distinct, well-balanced, complete, and thoughtfully planned community in keeping with the city’s scale, services, and surrounding environment.
Objective LU-1.1. Orderly Growth. Promote and prioritize orderly development and growth of Fairfield through the following: Promote infill development that makes efficient use of limited land supply, while ensuring compatibility and integration with adjacent uses. Maintain separation of urban and rural uses, including through maintaining strong urban growth boundaries; any urban development requiring basic municipal services shall occur only within the urban boundaries established by the General Plan. Ensure that new development mitigates and provides for its fair share of impacts to the environment, public facilities, services, and infrastructure.
Policy LU-7. Enhance and improve the built environment in Fairfield through site design that emphasizes cohesive, compact, connected, and “human-scaled” development, defined as neighborhoods, places, and streetscapes focused on the needs and experience of people.
Objective LU-7.1. Urban Design Standards. Develop and maintain urban design standards for specific areas or development types that focus on human-scale proportions to create an engaging and visually pleasing streetscape. Support community and public realm design that reflects the community’s diversity and meets the needs of persons of all ages and abilities.
Objective LU-7.6: Pedestrian-Oriented Connections. Provide a network of safe, well maintained, interconnected streets, paseos, pathways, and bicycle routes onsite that facilitates travel through the site for pedestrians, cyclists, and other nonmotorized modes of transportation. Link these connections to amenities such as commercial corridors, parks, schools, and public transportation hubs.
Policy LU-16. Ensure that new development is designed to optimize Fairfield’s Linear Park, making the park a central feature that enhances quality of life, connectivity, and recreational opportunities for residents.
Objective LU-16.3. Eyes on the Trail. Avoid blank facades along the trail. Windows, doors and transparent openings are encouraged to provide “eyes on the trail” and heighten sense of security. To the extent feasible, surface and structured parking should not front onto the trail.
Policy PFS-7. Provide an adequate supply of quality water and water infrastructure to support current and future population and employment growth, as well as focused support of the region’s agritourism goals.
Objective PFS-7.7. New Development. Require all new development located within City limits connect to the public water system, construct all potable water lines serving such development, and provide adequate funding for the development’s use of all potable water infrastructure and facilities.
Policy PFS-8. Ensure provision of superior wastewater collection and treatment facilities to support current and future growth.
Objective PFS-8.4. New Development. Require that all new developments located within City limits connect to the public wastewater collection system, construct all sanitary sewer lines serving such development (including oversizing of sewers if requested by the Fairfield Suisun Sewer District or the City, and provide adequate funding for the development’s use of all wastewater infrastructure and facilities. The costs of oversizing shall be borne by the beneficiary of the oversizing.
Policy HS-2. Prevent urban fires and protect the community from wildfire danger. Objective HS-2.4: Fire Department Review. Ensure the Fire Department has opportunity to review and provide appropriate conditions before Project approval. Incorporate Fire Department input on longer-range plans related to water supply and water systems, transportation Projects, and utilities.
Environmental Review: An Addendum to a previously certified EIR has been prepared for the Project, as allowed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Since all potential environmental impacts were already studied in the certified EIR for the Villages at Fairfield, and no new significant impacts have been identified, a new EIR is not required. The Addendum is attached as Exhibit A of the Resolution.

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-12
AMENDING CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE I, SECTION 25.12.3 OF THE FAIRFIELD CITY CODE (ALSO KNOWN AS THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD ZONING MAP) TO REZONE THE PARKSIDE SITE, A VACANT 7.99-ACRE SITE LOCATED EAST OF PASSION LANE, SOUTH OF GULF DRIVE, AND NORTH OF THE LINEAR PARK TRAIL (ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER [APN]:
0170- 010-052) FROM PUBLIC FACILITIES (PF) TO RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM (RM) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 25 is hereby modified to the Fairfield City Code, also known as the City of Fairfield Zoning Map, is hereby amended as shown on Sectional Zoning Map (ZC2025-003) attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Pursuant to Section 25.47.5 Findings of the Fairfield Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed Parkside subdivision is consistent with the proposed amendment to the City’s General Plan, which designates the area for Residential Medium (RM) development. This designation is intended for single-family housing, that is serviced by recreational activities and enhanced walkability. This subdivision fulfills this through the development of 76 single-family residential units, and its proximity to the Fairfield Linear Park trail and the proposed Village I park. The proposed subdivisions’ design and improvement provisions align with several key General Plan policies and objectives:
Objective LU-2.1 (Consistency with Density Ranges) The proposed 9.5 density development is consistent with the prescribed 9.0 to 18.0 density ranges in the General Plan. The Project’s layout and design ensure that residential density is managed effectively, complying with the medium density residential requirements; Policy LU-1 (Maintain Fairfield as a distinct, well-balanced, complete, and thoughtfully planned community in keeping with the city’s scale, services, and surrounding environment) The subdivision is part of the Villages Master Plan, a series of thoughtfully planned communities. The size and design of the subdivision are consistent with, and complementary to, adjacent residential development within the master-planned community, maintaining the intended scale, character, and cohesiveness of the neighborhood; Policy LU-2 (Promote a variety of housing types to serve the diverse needs of the community and stimulate investment) The Project builds 76 small-lot single-family homes, a less common housing type within Fairfield’s traditional single-family neighborhoods. This addition contributes to greater housing diversity and supports the City's goals for a balanced and inclusive housing mix; and Policy LU-16: (Ensure that new development is designed to optimize Fairfield’s Linear Park, making the park a central feature that enhances quality of life, connectivity, and recreational opportunities for residents) The Project is located adjacent to the Fairfield Linear Park, offering residents
ORD. NO. 2025-12
convenient access. Housing along the southern boundary of the Project site is oriented toward the trail, with windows providing natural surveillance and "eyes on the trail." This design enhances safety, encourages passive monitoring, and promotes interaction between residents and trail users, fostering a more active and welcoming public space.
B. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The proposed amendments would redesignate
7.99-acres of vacant land for 76 single-family residential units. The addition of more residential land will not jeopardize public interest, health, safety, convenience, or the welfare of the City in that the planned development will be subject to a collection of conditions of approval to ensure its safe and orderly development and operation. Future access to the site is provided via Passion Lane.
C. The site is physically suitable (including, but not limited to access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designations and anticipated land uses/developments. The Parkside subdivision site has been thoroughly assessed and found ideal for residential development.
The site is served by existing streets and utilities such as water, sewer, electricity, and road networks, which are sufficient to support the new development's increased demand. The pre-existing infrastructure ensures that residents will have access to all essential services.
The site’s relatively flat topography requires minimal grading and thus will preserve the natural landscape. Additionally, the Projects development plan intentionally avoids impacting sensitive habitats as much as possible.
D. The proposed amendment is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Addendum to the previously certified Villages at Fairfield EIR has been prepared for the Project, as permitted under CEQA. The Addendum determined that all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project were previously analyzed in the certified EIRs. No new significant impacts have been identified; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance shall be effective 30 days following its adoption by the City Council. 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.

CEQA Addendum for the Villages at Fairfield Project
(VAF EIR: E.R. 2003-29; 2011 Addendum; 2015 Addendum; 2018 Addendum) September 2025
On September 20, 2005, the Fairfield City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-296 certifying an Environmental Impact Report for the Villages at Fairfield (the “EIR”). The EIR consisted of a Draft EIR and Final EIR, including Responses to Comment, bound in volumes. The Planning Commission recommended certification of the EIR and approved tentative maps in Resolution 2005-33 and the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-297 approving a General Plan Amendment for the Project on September 20, 2005, adopted Ordinance 2005-15 amending the Zoning Code, and adopted Ordinance No. 2005-14 approving a Development Agreement for the Villages at Fairfield. On May 3, 2011, the City adopted an Addendum to the EIR in conjunction with its approval of the Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“First Amended DA”).
On August 10, 2015, the City adopted an Addendum to the EIR in conjunction with its approval of the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“Second Amended DA”). The 2011 and 2015 Addenda analyzed shifts in residential densities and minor land use revisions, all in substantial conformance with the previously approved tentative maps. On January 15, 2019, the City adopted an Addendum to the EIR in conjunction with its approval of the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (“First Amendment to Second Amended DA”), which adjusted the timing of certain infrastructure improvements described in Exhibit H of the Second Amended and Restated DA. The City is now contemplating approval of the Third Amended and Restated Development Agreement, and the necessary changes to the Project EIR associated with that amendment, which are reviewed by the 2025 (Lago Vista) Addendum.
This 2025 (Parkside) Addendum to the EIR has been prepared pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 for the Project, as described below. The proposed Villages at Fairfield Parkside project (“Parkside”) would develop up to 76 single-family detached dwelling units on a currently undeveloped parcel on the southeast corner of the Passion Lane and Gulf Drive intersection located in Village I of Villages at Fairfield. The subject parcel was originally assumed to be the site of a future elementary school in the EIR. As such, this 2025 (Parkside) Addendum considers the development of the Parkside site with up to 76 residential units instead of an elementary school. This 2025 (Parkside) Addendum also considers a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment to redesignate the approximately 7.99-acre site from Public Facility (PF) to Residential Medium (RM).
The modifications to the Project described in this 2025 (Parkside) Addendum do not cause new or substantially more severe significant impacts than previously analyzed because all of the impacts of the Parkside project have already been effectively analyzed under the VAF EIR. As documented in this Addendum, the impacts of the Parkside project related to Aesthetics, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources & Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology & Soils, Hazards & Hazardous Materials, Hydrology & Water Quality, Land Use & Planning, Noise, Population & Housing, Public Facilities & Services, Recreation, Transportation, Utilities & Service Systems, Wildfire, Energy, Agricultural & Forest Resources, and Mineral Resources have been sufficiently analyzed by the VAF EIR such that no major
EXHIBIT A
2 revisions to the VAF EIR are required. Where applicable, mitigation measures from the previously certified EIR are referenced and incorporated into this Addendum.
PRIOR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Villages at Fairfield Project site is located within the boundaries of the Peabody Walters Master Plan (“PWMP”), which the City adopted in 1994 after preparing the Peabody Walters Master Plan Focused Environmental Impact Report (“Peabody Walters EIR”). Fairfield City Council Resolution Nos. 94-173 and 94-174, September 6, 1994. In 2002, the City undertook a comprehensive review of its General Plan and certified the General Plan Environmental Impact Report for the amended 2002 City of Fairfield General Plan (Fairfield City Council Resolution No. 2002-128, June 5, 2002). The Villages at Fairfield EIR (“VAF EIR”) utilized these prior analyses in evaluating the Project’s impacts. The EIR examined the potential change from current conditions to conditions under the proposed Project and alternatives for the following resources: Land Use, Housing, and Population (Chapter 3); Transportation and Circulation (Chapter 4); Public Facilities and Services (Chapter 5); Biology and Natural Resources (Chapter 6); Air Quality (Chapter 7); Hydrology and Water Quality (Chapter 8); Agriculture (Chapter 9); Noise (Chapter 10); Other Resources (visual, cultural, geologic and seismic, fire hazards and hazardous materials) (Chapter 11); and Project Alternatives (Chapter 12). Chapters 3-12 discussed each of the primary substantive subject areas identified in the CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G. Appendices 3 through 57 were included in the EIR and consisted of the detailed reports which formed the technical basis for the environmental evaluation in the EIR.
The full VAF EIR; its set of appendices; copies of the Peabody Walters Master Plan EIR and the General Plan EIR; and the 2011, 2015 and 2018 Addenda to the VAF EIR and 2025 (Lago Vista) Addendum are all incorporated herein by reference and are available for public review together with this 2025 (Parkside) Addendum at the City’s Community Development Department (1000 Webster Street, 2nd Floor).
DETERMINATION TO PREPARE AN ADDENDUM
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, a lead agency shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if changes or additions are necessary and when none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (which calls for the preparation of a Subsequent EIR) have occurred. Section 15162 requires preparation of a Subsequent EIR when:
“(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions to the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was
EXHIBIT A
3 certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.”
The “project” at issue for purposes of CEQA’s subsequent review provisions is the residential development of the Parkside site. In this case, all of the environmental impacts associated with Parkside have already been analyzed and accounted for under the certified VAF EIR.
Where none of the above-referenced conditions requiring the preparation of a Subsequent EIR exist, the CEQA Guidelines require a lead agency to prepare an Addendum to the previously certified EIR, including a brief explanation, supported by substantial evidence, of the decision to not prepare a Subsequent EIR (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164(a)).
This Addendum concludes that the proposed Parkside project would not result in new significant adverse impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts under the VAF EIR. Therefore, an Addendum is the appropriate form of environmental review under CEQA.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is considering the approval of modifications to the Villages at Fairfield Development Project (the “proposed Project”) submitted by Rancho Tolenas Corp. (“RTC”). The previously approved Project includes five separate Projects located on approximately 431 acres in the northeastern area of the City of Fairfield, to the south of Cement Hill and the Putah South Canal, north of Air Base Parkway, east of the Woodlake Estates residential development, and west of the Gold Ridge residential development. The Project site is divided into five separate development projects, including four residential projects, Village I, Village II, Village III, and Village IV, and the Laurel Creek Plaza commercial center.
The original Project would have resulted in the construction of approximately 2,327 new residential units, approximately 311,000 square feet of commercial retail and mixed uses, and other public facilities that were provided to serve the development areas and the regional community consistent with City standards. The Project was amended in 2011 to reduce the number of units through reduction in density to 1,961 units and convert the Industrial Business
EXHIBIT A
4 Park Mixed Use area in Village II to residential use. The Project was amended again in 2015 to further reduce the densities of some parcels, lowering the total number of residential units from 1,961 to 1,830. The Project originally analyzed 832 residential units in Village I and 269 residential units in Village II, a total of 1,101 units. The 2011 and 2015 Addenda analyzed shifts in the residential densities for Villages I and II, and the final maps ultimately approved for Village I and II included just 432 units in Village I and 374 units in Village II, a total of 806 units, 295 less than the originally approved Village I-II total of 1,101. The proposed Lago Vista project reallocates 295 of those originally approved Village I-II units to the Lago Vista site, plus an additional 80 units, which integrates into the Village II infrastructure, for a total of 1,181 units between Villages I, II and Lago Vista. The proposed Parkside project would develop up to 76 single-family detached dwelling units on a currently undeveloped parcel on the southeast corner of the Passion Lane and Gulf Drive intersection located in Village I that was originally assumed to be the site of a future elementary school in the EIR. With the proposed Parkside project, there would be a total of 1,259 units between Villages I and II (including Lago Vista).
The Parkside site was part of a larger plan to provide a 10-acre elementary school site. Fairfield Suisun Unified School District (“FSUSD”) did not formally act to acquire the site before the January 2023 deadline required by the Development Agreement, and FSUSD has confirmed that it has no plans to acquire the site and pursue development of a school on it. Accordingly, FSUSD has released RTC from retaining the property for a school site, and the site is now proposed to be developed for residential use.
As such, the Parkside project also includes a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment to redesignate the approximately 7.99-acre site from Public Facility (PF) to Residential Medium (RM).
The Parkside site is bounded on three sides with streets or Linear Park and to the east by the FSUSD parcel. As such, the site has been continuously used for construction staging. The Parkside project’s proposed streets, sidewalks, water, sewer, and lighting would be maintained as part of the City’s existing Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District “LLMD No. 14 - Woodlake”. The storm drainage would be maintained under the Fairfield-Suisun Storm Drain maintenance program. Lot A will be a water quality basin to meet current water quality regulations for the Parkside project. Lot A is anticipated to be dedicated to the City.
The Parkside Project is immediately adjacent to the multi-use Linear Park trail, with off-street connectivity to Passion Lane to the west and the Village I park to the east.
All modifications to the Project described above result in volume-based impacts such as traffic, air quality, roadway noise, utilities, water supply, and public services that are consistent with the those addressed by the VAF EIR. The footprint of the developed area remains the same or smaller than the development already analyzed in the VAF EIR, so all land-based impacts, such as those related to agriculture, biology, cultural, geology, hydrology, and hazards, remain the same or less significant than those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Where applicable and appropriate, mitigation measures from the EIR are incorporated into this Addendum, ensuring that there are no new or substantially more severe impacts associated with the modifications to the Project. In
EXHIBIT A
5 addition, the modified Project remains less than the impacts considered in the Peabody Walters Master Plan and General Plan, which the Final EIR compared to the approved Project. Overall, the modifications to the Project do not result in any changes to the significance of previously analyzed environmental impacts identified in the Final VAF EIR. Each impact area is considered below to analyze whether the proposed Parkside project will result in new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts previously identified in the VAF EIR.
On the basis of the evaluation below, the City determines that the potentially significant effects that could result from the proposed Parkside project have been addressed in the certified VAF EIR (and subsequent addenda), and that none of the conditions for preparation of a subsequent EIR set forth in the Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have been triggered. Accordingly, an Addendum to the VAF EIR shall be prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, as set forth below. Note that the VAF EIR and previous addenda to the VAF EIR followed the organizational structure of the Peabody Walters EIR, which combined certain impact discussions into larger chapters. For clarity, this Addendum is organized by individual impact area but references the previous VAF EIR analysis by its heading in the VAF EIR where applicable.
1. Aesthetics
The VAF EIR analyzed impacts related to visual resources in Chapter 11 and determined that impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. Views of the proposed Parkside development from the surrounding area would be similar to those analyzed in the VAF EIR, and the site itself contains no visual resources. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all applicable VAF EIR mitigation measures, ensuring that any aesthetics impacts would be mitigated to a less than significant level and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the aesthetics impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.

2. Agricultural Resources
The VAF EIR analyzed impacts related to agricultural resources in Chapter 9 and determined that impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all applicable VAF EIR mitigation measures, ensuring that any agricultural resources impacts would be mitigated to a less than significant level and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the agricultural resources impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.
3. Air Quality & Greenhouse Gases
The VAF EIR concluded that the VAF project would contribute to an exceedance of Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”) significance thresholds for certain conventional pollutants and that this impact would be significant and unavoidable. With the proposed additional residential units on the Parkside site instead of the previously proposed school, there is no change in this conclusion. This impact will remain significant and unavoidable as in the VAF EIR, but the VAF EIR included mitigation measures to reduce air quality impacts to the extent feasible. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all applicable VAF EIR mitigation measures to reduce air quality impacts to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the air quality impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.

d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial

X
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a

X
With respect to GHG impacts associated with the Parkside project, the VAF GHG analysis would also apply. In the 2010 and 2015 Addenda to the VAF EIR, the City concluded that although the 2005 EIR did not evaluate the VAF project’s GHG emissions, the later adoption of AB 32 and BAAQMD GHG thresholds did not constitute new information requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR since those regulatory developments did not reveal new sitespecific impacts, and GHG impacts were known or knowable in 2005. Since traffic is the primary driver associated with volume-based operational impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, and the Parkside units can be accounted for in the VAF trip generation budget, the GHG analysis does not change. No GHG mitigation would be required under the VAF EIR.
Nevertheless, as a matter of regulatory compliance, the Parkside project is required to comply with Title 24 energy efficiency standards, therefore, the Parkside units will be more energy- and GHG-efficient than the units originally analyzed in the VAF EIR. The Parkside units will also be solar-ready. Accordingly, the GHG impacts associated with the Parkside project would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 151662 thresholds.

4. Biological Resources
EXHIBIT A
8 Potential impacts to biological resources related to development on the Parkside site were thoroughly analyzed in the VAF EIR. Existing conditions on the Parkside site have not materially changed since the VAF EIR was certified. See EIR Addendum Biological Summary Memorandum prepared by WRA, Inc., attached as Appendix A. The VAF EIR concluded that all impacts to biological resources associated with the VAF project would be less than significant with mitigation. The entire Village I site, including the Parkside Project site, has been periodically graded and disturbed since 2009 and was mass graded in 2017. Since that time, the site has been consistently and continuously used for staging, stockpiling, and general construction-related activities, thus maintaining a disturbed condition. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any biological resources impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the biological resources impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.
On October 15, 2024, burrowing owl was listed as a state candidate species by the California Fish and Game Commission. During the listing review process, burrowing owl will be temporarily afforded the same protections as state-listed species throughout the entirety of California. Impacts to burrowing owl were evaluated in connection with the 2011 Addendum and the site was surveyed for burrowing owl in connection with the 2005 EIR and in 2009 prior to Corps and RWQCB permitting, with negative findings. Mitigation Measure BIO-20 requires that a pre-construction burrowing owl survey will be performed 30 days in advance of ground disturbance within the Project area. The Project area has been graded and does not currently support burrows of suitable size for burrowing owl. Given the ongoing disturbance and lack of suitable burrows, burrowing owl are unlikely to occupy the site for overwintering or nesting purposes. No potentially significant impacts to burrowing owl are anticipated with the Parkside project, and the pre-construction survey requirements set forth in Mitigation Measure BIO-20 will further reduce the less than significant impacts.

5. Cultural Resources (including Tribal Cultural Resources) The VAF EIR concluded that potential impacts of the VAF project related to cultural resources would be less-than-significant with mitigation. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any cultural resources impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the cultural resources impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.

Specifically, regarding Tribal Cultural Resources, the VAF EIR analyzed potential impacts to Tribal Cultural Resources under the Cultural Resources impact category. Since the certification of the VAF EIR, Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) added various provisions to the California Public Resources Code (PRC) that concern Tribal Cultural Resources, including § 21080.3.1(d). The adoption of AB 52 established the tribal cultural resources environmental factor and related thresholds for Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. On July 30, 2016, the California Natural Resources Agency adopted the final text for the tribal cultural resources update to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, which was approved by the Office of Administrative Law on September 27, 2016. The addition of Tribal Cultural Resources as a separate category from Cultural Resources does not constitute new information requiring a revision to the VAF EIR. Moreover, the requirements of PRC Section 21080.3.1 only apply to the preparation of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or EIR; they do not apply to project revisions that do not trigger subsequent environmental review pursuant to Section 21084 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and require only an addendum under CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. See PRC § 21080.3.1(b).

The VAF EIR concluded that potential impacts of the VAF project related to hazards and hazardous materials would be less than significant with mitigation. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any hazards and hazardous materials impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the hazards and hazardous materials impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.

8. Hydrology & Water Quality
Potential impacts to hydrology and water quality related to development on the Parkside site were thoroughly analyzed in the VAF EIR. The VAF EIR concluded that all impacts to hydrology and water quality associated with the VAF project would be less than significant with mitigation. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any hydrology and water quality impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR.

9. Land Use & Planning
The VAF EIR concluded that potential impacts of the VAF project related to land use and planning would be less-than-significant. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any land use and planning impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the land use and planning impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.
EXHIBIT A
15 The proposed Parkside project includes a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment to change current land use designations for the Project site from Public Facility (PF) to Residential Medium (RM).

10. Noise
The VAF EIR concluded that potential impacts of the VAF project related to noise would be less-than-significant with mitigation. The Parkside Project would be required to comply with all VAF EIR mitigation measures relevant and applicable to Village I, ensuring that any noise impacts would be mitigated to the extent feasible and would be consistent with those analyzed in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the noise impacts associated with Parkside would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.
The only project source of potentially increased ambient noise in the vicinity of the Parkside project (impact threshold (c)) is noise generated by vehicle trips. The number of vehicle trips generated by the project is driven by the number of residential units. The Parkside project trips would not exceed the daily trips generated by Villages I and II as studied in the VAF EIR. The combined Villages I, II, Lago Vista, and Parkside would generate 1,905 fewer daily trips, 25 more AM peak hour trips, and 163 fewer PM peak hour trips than the VAF EIR trip generation budget for Villages I and II. The slight difference in AM peak hour trips would not be large enough to affect traffic operations at nearby intersections or result in new traffic impacts or mitigations beyond those studied in the VAF EIR. The slight difference in PM peak hour trips
EXHIBIT A
16 means that PM traffic operations at nearby intersections would be the same or better than operations studied in the VAF EIR. The VAF EIR analyzed traffic noise associated with the Project, including Village I-II, and concluded that those impacts would be less-than-significant with mitigation. Those mitigation measures include the construction of barrier walls along Cement Hill Road and Clay Bank Road and apply to the entire VAF Project. Those mitigation measures will continue to apply to the entire VAF Project, including Parkside, and are incorporated herein by reference.

11. Population & Housing
The potential impacts of the Parkside project related to population and housing are driven by the number of residential units and associated population. These impacts were analyzed in VAF EIR Chapter 3 (Land Use and Housing and Population), and determined to be less than significant.
As concluded in the VAF EIR, the total future housing and residential population are consistent with the housing and population growth allocated to the VAF project area and considered in the
EXHIBIT A
17 PWMP and the City’s General Plan. The addition of 76 units will not change the VAF-wide total number of units originally studied in the VAF EIR (2,327 units) and therefore, does not result in changes to impact conclusions related to Housing and Population. Accordingly, the Parkside project remains consistent with the conclusions in the VAF EIR and no revisions are required. The potential impacts of the Parkside project related to population and housing would not represent new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts and would remain below the Section 15162 thresholds.

12. Public Facilities & Services
The potential impacts of the Parkside project related to public services and facilities are driven by the number of residential units and associated population. These impacts were analyzed in VAF EIR Chapter 5 (Public Facilities and Services). The VAF EIR concluded that impacts associated with the originally-entitled 2,327 units would be less-than-significant with mitigation.
Since the Parkside project units will not change the VAF-wide total of 2,327 units originally analyzed in the VAF EIR, the impacts conclusions in the VAF EIR remain unchanged with the addition of the Parkside residential units to the Project. VAF mitigation measures related to Public Facilities and Services would continue to apply to the entire VAF Project, including Parkside. Mitigation measures include the payment of public facilities impact fees that new development within the City must pay before issuance of a building permit. Payment of fees would offset potential increases in service requests and impacts associated with public services would remain less than significant with mitigation.

13. Recreation
With respect to the Recreation impact threshold (a), the increase in demand for neighborhood and regional parks associated with the Parkside project is driven by the number of residential units and associated population. The VAF EIR did not specifically address Recreation, but it analyzed the Project’s potential impacts related to Park Facilities in Chapter 5 (Public Utilities and Services). The VAF EIR concluded that the Project would result in less-than-significant impacts related to Park Facilities with the implementation of Mitigation Measures PF-20, 21, and 22, which will apply to Parkside and which require improvement of the Linear Park adjacent to Villages I, II and III and neighborhood-serving parks in Villages I, II and III, along with Mitigation Measure PF-23, which requires payment of applicable AB 1600 development impact fees to fund park improvements.
The Project, including Parkside, will be served by the existing Laurel Creek Community Park, and the continued development of the Linear Park system which runs along and adjacent to the entire VAF master planned community, allowing for pedestrian and bicycle mobility from Clay Bank Road to Peabody Road. The Project will have access to an additional 14.2 acres of parkland within the VAF master planned community (including 5.5 acres in Village I, 0.7 acre in Village II, and 8.0 acres planned for Village III) and 11.1 acres of nearby linear parkway.

Wood Rodgers prepared a Transportation Impact Analysis Memorandum attached as Appendix B, which compares the trip generation of the proposed Parkside project with the trip generation analyzed in the VAF EIR to confirm that the Parkside project will not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than those analyzed and mitigated in the VAF EIR. Table 1 shows the approved trip generation for Villages I-III from the VAF EIR.

As detailed in Appendix B, the addition of Parkside daily trips to the built-out conditions of Villages I and II and the proposed Lago Vista conditions results in a total of 11,188 daily trips, 1,905 fewer than the 13,093 originally studied and approved in the VAF EIR for Villages I and II. Accordingly, the trips generated by the Parkside site would not exceed the trips generated by Villages I and II in the VAF EIR. The built-out conditions of Villages I and II, with Lago Vista and Parkside, are estimated to generate 25 more AM peak hour trips than VAF EIR conditions.
The slight difference in AM peak hour trips would not be large enough to affect traffic operations at nearby intersections or result in new traffic impacts or mitigations beyond those studied in the VAF EIR. The built-out conditions of Villages I and II with Lago Vista and Parkside are estimated to generate 163 fewer PM peak hour trips than VAF EIR conditions. The slight difference in PM peak hour trips means that PM traffic operations at nearby intersections would be the same or better than operations studied in the VAF EIR. Appendix B includes an analysis of intersection operations with the addition of Parkside units. All of the mitigation measures from the VAF EIR and subsequent addenda would continue to apply to the entire Project, including Parkside.
EXHIBIT A
21 While the CEQA Guidelines now consider VMT, addenda do not need to consider new impact areas added after the EIR was concluded. See Concerned Dublin Citizens v. City of Dublin (2013) 214 Cal.App.4th 1301, 1320 (adoption of new guidelines for GHG evaluation was no significant new information requiring further CEQA review because GHG emissions were known information and could have been addressed in the original EIR); Fort Mojave Indian Tribe v. Dept. of Health Servs. (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1574, 1605 (new critical habitat regulation was not significant new information because impacts to the species had already been addressed in original EIR.) Since the trip distribution and generation of the combined current VAF Village I, Village II, and Parkside Project would be similar to and less than the values in the approved VAF EIR, the Parkside project would not be projected to result in any new transportation impacts beyond those studied in the VAF EIR.

15. PUBLIC FACILITIES (UTILITIES & SERVICE SYSTEMS)
The potential impacts of the Parkside project related to public utilities are driven by the number of residential units and associated population. These impacts were analyzed in VAF EIR Chapter 5 (Public Facilities and Services). The VAF EIR concluded that all impacts of the Project related to Public Utilities would be less than significant with mitigation. All of the mitigation measures adopted in the VAF EIR and its addenda would continue to apply to the Project, including Parkside. Because the Parkside project does not affect the VAF-wide total number of units that was originally studied in the VAF EIR (2,327 total units), demand for all utility services will be similar to what was originally studied and approved in the VAF EIR. Accordingly, the proposed Parkside Project will not result in any new significant or substantially more severe impacts related to utilities.

The VAF EIR did not formally analyze potential energy impacts. State CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist thresholds were updated by the State Office of Planning and Research after publication of the VAF EIR. The current State CEQA Appendix G checklist contains separate thresholds for Energy, which are incorporated into this Addendum, and shown in the checklist below. However, the total number of units in VAF with the addition of Parkside will remain the same as the number of units originally analyzed in the VAF EIR, so any Energyrelated impacts associated with Parkside would be consistent with or less than those of the VAF Project. Additionally, the units in the Parkside project will implement Title 24 energy efficiency standards, ensuring that it is more energy-efficient than those originally analyzed in the VAF EIR.

18. EFFECTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT
A. Mineral Resources: The VAF EIR concluded that the VAF Project would have no impacts related to mineral resources. There is no change to this conclusion with the Parkside project.
CONCLUSION
This Addendum is adopted pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164. The Addendum reviews the proposed development activities and project changes discussed above. Through the adoption of this Addendum, the City determines that the proposed Project does not require a subsequent EIR or negative declaration under Guidelines Section 15162. The City further determines that the VAF EIR; the 2011, 2015 and 2018 Addenda to the VAF EIR; the 2025 (Lago Vista) Addendum; and this Addendum to the VAF EIR, adequately address the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Parkside project.
As provided in Section 15164 of Guidelines, this Addendum need not be circulated for public review, but shall be considered along with the prior environmental documents before making a decision to adopt the Parkside project approvals.

Re: EIR Addendum Biological Summary for the Parkside Development Project This letter was prepared to support the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addendum for Parkside Development Project (Project) located within in Fairfield, California (Project Area). The purpose of this letter is to summarize additional biological considerations and regulatory changes that have occurred since the preparation of the Villages at Fairfield Environmental Impact Report (EIR; City of Fairfield 2005) and the subsequent EIR Amendment (2010 Amendment; City of Fairfield, 2010), under which the Project Area was initially evaluated.
The report herein also includes a summary of site activities, existing site conditions, and applicable mitigation measures that will need to be completed prior to the initiation of Project construction.
1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY
The following sections address activities that have been completed on-site to date as well as outstanding items that will need to be completed prior to the initiation of any further ground disturbance. The Parkside Project is located within the larger Village 1 boundaries.
1.1 EIR Findings Summary, Previous Reports, and Current Conditions Overall, Village I impacted a total of 0.48 acres of jurisdictional aquatic resources, some of which were located with the Project boundaries. Necessary permits were acquired from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB; WDID 2 48C377696) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps; File No. 256570N). Compensation for these impacts occurred through purchase of mitigation credits.
In 2009, a Pre-Construction Survey was conducted for the larger Keswick Village Project, which includes the Project Area. This survey had negative findings for the following species within the Project Site: burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), northern harrier (Circus cyaneus), white-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus), American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus). During the 2009 field surveys, two raptor species (white-tailed kite and American kestrel) were found nesting immediately adjacent to and one loggerhead shrike nest was confirmed on the larger Keswick Village Project Site.

2 The Village 1 site, including the Project site, has been periodically graded and disturbed since 2009 and was mass graded in 2017. Since that time, the site has been consistently and continuously used for staging, stockpiling, and general construction-related activities, thus maintaining a disturbed condition. Per the 2010 Amendment, the following mitigation measures outline preconstruction surveys which may be required ahead of Project activities.

1.2 Additional Regulatory Considerations
The following section addresses any relevant regulatory changes that have occurred since the 2010 Amendment was published and evaluates implications that should be considered in the EIR addendum for the current Project.

WRA, Inc. | 2169 G East Francisco Blvd., San Rafael, CA 94901 www.wra-ca.com · ph: 415.454.8868
3 BALD EAGLE
Bald Eagle (BAEA; Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are known to occur in the vicinity of the Project Area (CNDDB 2024). Based on a 2018 CNDDB documented occurrence, BAEA have been reported to roost in a large walnut tree that occurs along the west bank of McCoy Pond, approximately
0.6 mile southeast of the Project (CDFW 2022); no nest structures or indications of nesting has been observed to date. The Project Area itself does not provide suitable nesting or roosting habitat for this species and the disturbed nature of the site makes it unlikely to support foraging.
Although BAEA may utilize large trees in the vicinity of McCoy Pond, the distance and existing development between these areas makes it extremely unlikely that Project activities, including noise, vibration, odors, and movement of workers or equipment would result in impacts to potential nest sites. As such, no impacts to this species are anticipated as a result of the Project.
As previously noted, BIO-17 requires that a pre-construction survey for nesting raptors be conducted within the Project Area no more than 30 days prior to the onset of Project activities during the raptor nesting season (January 1 and August 31). This measure will inherently apply to BAEA, out of an extreme abundance of caution. Given that the Project Area does not provide nesting habitat for BAEA and potential nest trees do not occur in the immediate vicinity, it is WRA's opinion that this measure is sufficient to minimize any potential impacts to this species.
NORTHWESTERN POND TURTLE
At the time the 2010 Amendment was completed, northwestern pond turtle (NPT; Actinemys marmorata), formally western pond turtle, was listed as a CDFW Species of Special Concern and could be relocated without the need for additional permits or consultation. However, this species was proposed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on October 3, 2023 (88 FR 68370). Federal proposed species are entitled to procedural protections under the ESA but are not protected from “take” until they are listed. Take as defined under the ESA means "to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct." It is anticipated that the final rule for NPT will be issued by the end of 2024. If NPT are listed at that time, any subsequent take would be in violation of the ESA without take authorization from the USFWS.
No suitable habitat for NPT occurs within or immediately adjacent to the Project location. As such, no impacts to NPT are anticipated as a result of the proposed Project and the inclusion of avoidance measures is not deemed necessary.
CROTCH BUMBLE BEE
Crotch bumble bee (CBB; Bombus crotchii) was reinstated as a state candidate species on September 30, 2022, and is thus afforded protections under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). As such, impacts to this species will need to be evaluated under CEQA. Impacts to CBB were not evaluated at the time the PDEIR was published in 2014.
Crotch bumble bee occurs in grassland and scrub habitats, and has also been documented in agricultural areas. Like other bumble bee species, CBB is a social species with an annual life cycle. Queens emerge from hibernation in the late winter/early spring to establish a new colony.
The colony produces workers throughout the spring and summer, and reproductives (i.e. drones and queens) in the early fall. Nests are built in pre-existing cavities. They are commonly found underground, in abandoned rodent burrows, or aboveground in grass tufts, rock piles,
EXHIBIT A
WRA, Inc. | 2169 G East Francisco Blvd., San Rafael, CA 94901 www.wra-ca.com · ph: 415.454.8868
4 abandoned bird nests, or tree cavities. CBB feeds on pollen and nectar during all life stages; preferred host species include (but are not limited to) milkweeds (Asclepias spp.), chaenactis (Chaenactis spp.), clarkias (Clarkia spp.), larkspurs (Delphinium spp.), buckwheats (Eriogonum spp.), lupines (Lupinus spp.), medicks (Medicago spp.), bladderpod (Peritoma arborea), phacelias (Phacelia spp.), poppies (Eschscholzia spp.), and sages (Salvia spp.). Queens overwinter in hibernacula; little is known about habitat requirements for hibernacula; bare ground, leaf litter and/or duff, and pre-existing cavities may provide overwintering habitat.
The Project Area is within the current known range of CBB and the nearest documented CNDDB occurrence is approximately 4 miles north of the Project Area. However, small mammal burrows are extremely limited within the Project Area. Additionally, existing grassland habitat is regularly disturbed by construction and other activity and therefore lacks host plants that are known to provide pollen and nectar sources for CBB. As such, it in unlikely that the Project Area supports this species. No additional avoidance measures for CBB are recommended.
MOUNTAIN LION
Mountain Lion (Puma concolor) was listed as a state candidate species in April 2020, which granted protection under CESA to populations within a proposed evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) located in Southern California and the central coast of California. While impacts to mountain lions were not evaluated in the 2014 PDEIR, the Project Area is outside of the current designated ESU range. As such, no additional considerations for mountain lions are required at this time.
BURROWING OWL
On October 15, 2024, burrowing owl (BUOW; Athene cunicularia) was listed as a state candidate species by the California Fish and Game Commission. During the listing review process, burrowing owl will be temporarily afforded the same protections as state-listed species throughout the entirety of California. As such, any projects with potential to result in “take” will need to obtain an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) from CDFW. Under CESA, the term “take” is defined as any effort or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill an individual. It is assumed that passive relocation (i.e. burrow exclusion) efforts will no longer be allowed without an ITP and CDFW-approval.
Impacts to BUOW were evaluated at the time the 2010 Amendment. The mitigation measure for BUOW (BIO-20) requires that a pre-construction burrowing owl survey will be performed 30 days ahead of ground-disturbance within the Project Area.
While the Project Area supports limited gopher activity, no burrows of California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) have been observed onsite to date. As such, the Project Area does not currently support burrows of suitable size for BUOW. Given the ongoing disturbance and lack of suitable burrows, BUOW are unlikely to occupy the site for overwintering or nesting purposes.
However, given that materials are often stored onsite and may provide limited refugia, implementation of the pre-construction survey outlined in BIO-20 should be implemented out of an abundance of caution.

5 1.2.1 Aquatic Resources
On August 29, 2023, the EPA and the Corps issued a final rule amending the 2023 definition of “Waters of the US” to conform with the recent Supreme Court decision in Sackett v. EPA. The Conforming Rule limits Federal jurisdiction of wetlands to only those that are adjacent to (touching) relatively permanent, standing or continuously flowing bodies of water. Wetlands isolated from these bodies of water do not meet the Federal definition of wetlands and do not require a Federal Corps permit to fill.
Previously identified Corps-jurisdictional wetlands and non-wetland waters within or immediately adjacent to the Project location were impacted during the grading of the site. These features have been appropriately mitigated for through purchase of wetland credits. No further avoidance measures are required.
1.3 Summary and Recommendations
In summary, additional surveys for BUOW, SWHA, general raptors, and nesting birds will be required prior to the initiation of the Project, as prescribed in the PDEIR. In addition, the Project will need to permanently preserve suitable habitat for impacts to SWHA foraging habitat, pursuant to mitigation measure BIO-19.
Since the PDEIR was published, the regulatory status has changed for the following species:
northwestern pond turtle, Crotch bumblebee, burrowing owl, and mountain lion. No potentially significant impacts to CBB, NPT, BUOW or mountain lion are anticipated as a result of the Project. Therefore, no additional measures are deemed necessary for these species. However, it is recommended that the Project adhere to the pre-construction survey requirements for BUOW, out of an abundance of caution.

1. INTRODUCTION
This memorandum has been prepared to present the results of a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Villages at Fairfield Village I School Site, also known as Parkside, Project (Project) located in the City of Fairfield (City). The Project is located on one currently undeveloped parcel on the southeast corner of the Passion Lane and Gulf Drive intersection located in Village I of Villages at Fairfield (VAF). The Project parcel was originally assumed to be the site of a future elementary school in the VAF Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
The purpose of this TIA is to address the Project’s impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in relation to the prior analyses for the approved VAF project. The local traffic operations analysis in this study was conducted to evaluate the level of service (LOS), delay, and queueing at nearby intersections where traffic patterns may change due to construction of the proposed Project. This study also includes a safe routes to school component where the most feasible routes to the closest schools are identified.

Villages at Fairfield Parkside Traffic Impact Analysis 2 of 17
PROJECT HISTORY
The current Project site (Parkside) was originally proposed to be a future elementary school in VAF Village I. The CEQA impacts of the overall VAF project were studied in The Villages at Fairfield Environmental Impact Report (VAF EIR). The VAF EIR was certified in 2005, and the overall VAF project was amended in 2010, 2015, and 2018 pursuant to Addenda to the 2005 VAF EIR. The Addenda to the 2005 VAF EIR did not perform new traffic analysis for the revised VAF project as they found that the proposed changes in scope would not result in new impacts. The entire VAF project is covered by a Development Agreement as it has been amended.
The 2005 VAF EIR originally analyzed a total of 2,341 residential units, including 1,102 units in Villages I and II. The 2005 VAF EIR also originally included 24.3 acres of mixed-use development in Village II and 12.5 acres of commercial development. Subsequently, the approved final maps for Villages I and II included only 806 residential units in Villages I and II (432 in Village I and 374 in Village II). The currently approved Village II does not include any mixed-use area. Note that the land use quantities pertaining to the original VAF EIR described in this TIA refer to the land use quantities analyzed in the 2005 VAF EIR Traffic Impact Study, which studied a slightly higher number of units than included in the original EIR Project Description. Page 29 of the 2005 VAF EIR Traffic Impact Study states:
“This analysis was conducted when the proposed Villages at Fairfield consisted of 2,341 residential units plus commercial, recreation, public facilities, and open space in northeast Fairfield. The current proposed project includes only 2,327 residential units, 14 less than analyzed in this report. Hence, the analysis is slightly conservative however this reduction in units does not affect the impacts or mitigation measures identified in this report.”
Based upon the above, the certified 2005 VAF EIR analyzed the impact of trips from 296 residential units and
24.3 acres of mixed-use development beyond what is currently proposed in the approved final maps for Villages I and II. As a result, the VAF project as originally approved and studied under CEQA can accommodate additional units within the trip generation budget already studied for Villages I and II.
The approved final maps for Villages I and II (806 residential units) are mostly built out. The three final communities/units within Villages I and II are currently under construction. A new development within VAF, Lago Vista, has been proposed which is located directly east of Village II and consists of 151 compact single family residential units and 224 duplex/condominium residential units.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project would develop up to 76 single-family detached dwelling units. The Project would gain access to the existing roadway network via new local roadway connections to Passion Lane across from Hideaway Lane and Clementine Lane. The Project site plan is included at the end of this memorandum as Attachment A. A recent Illustrative Map for the overall VAF project is shown as Attachment B. The Project is shown in the attached Illustrative Map as the blue Parcel B.
TIA APPROACH
Since the Project is contained within the overall VAF project, and the VAF project has an approved EIR, this TIA evaluates if/how the Project would change transportation impacts previously identified under the VAF EIR. The original VAF EIR studied the Project site as an elementary school which only generated internal neighborhood trips. The Project’s 76 single-family detached dwelling units would generate Project external trips. However, the Project’s trip generation is anticipated to generally fit within the original VAF EIR trip generation for Villages I and II. In other words, trip “credits” from Villages I and II would be used to offset trips from the Project.
The TIA was prepared in accordance with the City of Fairfield local transportation analysis guidelines (dated December 22, 2020). Note that since the Project falls under the overall VAF project, which has an approved EIR, this TIA does not evaluate the Project as a “new” project, meaning this TIA does not evaluate the Project against new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) considerations such as typical vehicle miles

Instead, this TIA compares Project impacts to the approved VAF EIR in an approach similar to that used in the recent VAF Lago Vista TIA. The TIA includes a qualitative evaluation of VMT in the context of the Project generated VMT compared to the VMT generated by the VAF project in the approved EIR.
2. LOCAL TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
STUDY FACILITIES AND ANALYSIS SCENARIOS
Traffic operations analyses were performed under the following scenarios:
• Existing Plus Background Conditions – this scenario represents a near-term condition that includes existing conditions traffic volumes with the addition of Background traffic. Background traffic includes trips from the homes in Village I and II that are not yet occupied or constructed and trips from the proposed Lago Vista development.
• Existing PlusBackground Plus Project Conditions – this scenario represents Existing Plus Background conditions with the addition of Parkside Project trips.
The following four (4) existing intersections were included in this analysis:
1. Clay Bank Road & Manuel Campos Parkway/Cement Hill Road
2. Clay Bank Road & Gulf Drive
3. Clay Bank Road & Horizon Road/Horizon Circle (South)
4. Portland Drive & Cement Hill Road/Manual Campos Parkway The locations of the above study intersections are shown in Figure 1. The study intersections were chosen based on how the anticipated trip assignment of the Project may cause slightly different travel patterns at these intersections compared to those studied under VAF EIR conditions. The intersection of Clay Bank Road & Air Base Parkway was not evaluated because traffic patterns/distribution of the proposed Project trips at this intersection would be the same as those studied in the approved VAF EIR.
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Level of Service Methodology
Synchro 12 software and Highway Capacity Manual, 7th Edition (HCM 7th Edition) methodology were used to determine intersection delay and level of service (LOS) operations under all study conditions.
For signalized intersections, the intersection delays and LOS reported are the average values for the whole intersection. The delay-based HCM 7th Edition LOS criteria for different types of intersection controls are outlined in Table 1.
95th percentile queues for all movements with turn pockets were reported using SimTraffic software. The SimTraffic microsimulation models were run for a 60-minute analysis period with a 10-minute warm-up period, and reported queues were based on the average of 10 runs. SimTraffic was used to capture the effects of adjacent signals.

Level of Service Criteria
The City of Fairfield General Plan Update (December 3, 2024) Circulation Element states the following:
“This General Plan sets a performance target of LOS D during peak hours for both intersections and roadway segments within the Planning Area.”
Therefore, the minimum acceptable LOS for the study intersections is considered to be LOS D.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND GEOMETRIES
The study intersections were analyzed under Existing Plus Background conditions lane geometrics and control, which include planned improvements on Clay Bank Road and Manuel Campos Parkway/Cement Hill Road that would be constructed by VAF in the near-term future as proposed by the Village at Fairfield Village I Phase 3 master Infrastructure Improvement Plans (Wood Rodgers, September 2021). Existing Plus Background conditions lane geometrics and control are shown in Figure 2.
Existing Traffic Counts
Existing weekday AM and PM peak vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian counts were collected between 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and between 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on March 14, 2024, at the Clay Bank Road & Manuel Campos Parkway intersection. Peak hour counts were collected at the remaining three (3) study intersections on February 11, 2025. Traffic data count sheets are included in Attachment C.
Background Trip Generation
Existing Plus Background traffic volumes were developed by adding trips from surrounding developments that were in the process of being completed when counts were taken (March 14, 2024, and February 11, 2025). The number of in-progress and proposed residential dwelling units was provided by the Project applicant. The number of remainder (in-progress and proposed) units in Villages I and II was higher on March 14, 2024 than it was on February 11, 2025. Therefore, separate trip generations were prepared for the Village I and Village II Remainders for the dates when the counts took place. Trips from the remainder units as of May 14, 2024 were distributed to the Clay Bank Road & Manuel Campos Parkway intersection.
Trips from the remainder units as of February 11, 2025 were distributed to the other three study intersections. Volumes between intersections were balanced up when needed between the intersections of Clay Bank Road & Gulf Drive, Clay Bank Road & Manuel Campos Parkway, and Portland Drive & Manuel Campos Parkway/Cement Hill Road.
A list of background projects is shown below:
• Village I Lot 2 Remainder (under construction): 49 Single-Family Detached Units as of May 14, 2024; 9 Single-Family Detached Units as of February 11, 2025
• Village II Lot 3 Remainder (under construction): 77 Single-Family Detached Units as of May 14, 2024; 52 Single-Family Detached Units as of February 11, 2025

• Lago Vista (future): 151 Single-Family Detached Units, 224 Single-Family Attached (Condominium) Units
Locations of the background projects are labeled in the VAF Illustrative Map contained in Attachment B.
Trip generations for the above background projects are contained in Attachment D. Trip distributions for the background project trips were developed using the latest version of the 2020 City of Fairfield Travel Demand Forecasting (TDF) Model and engineering judgement. Background project trip distributions and assignment are shown in Figure 3. Existing Plus Background conditions traffic volumes are shown in Figure
4. Project Trip Generation
The trip generation data contained in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, was used to estimate the number of trips generated by the Parkside Project. The ITE land use category of Single-Family Detached Housing (ITE Code 210) was used to represent the proposed 76 single-family unit development. Table 2 shows the Parkside Project trip generation estimate.

As shown in Table 2, the Parkside Project is anticipated to generate a total of 784 daily trips, 58 AM peak hour trips (15 inbound and 43 outbound), and 77 PM peak hour trips (49 inbound and 28 outbound).
Project trip distribution and assignment are shown in Figure 5. Project trip distribution was assumed to be the same as the Lago Vista and remaining Village I and II units. Project trips were added to Existing Plus Background volumes to obtain Existing Plus Background Plus Project traffic volumes, shown in Figure 6.
