LAND USE ELEMENT
Heart of Fairfield Specific Plan. In 2017, the City Council adopted the Heart of Fairfield Plan for Downtown Fairfield, which includes both the traditional downtown area and the West Texas Street corridor. Specific activities initiated or completed in 2025 include:
City oversight of the Fairfield Farmers Market, MAYkers Market, Blues Brews and BBQ, Tomato and Vine Festival, Independence Day Parade, Veterans Day Parade, and Holiday Tree and Menorah Lighting special events; and
Steering Committee meetings with business and property owners to discuss a potential Property and Business Improvement District; and
Continued infrastructure improvements, including completion of Streetscapes Phase 1B, which replaced sidewalks, installed new pavers, and planted new trees; and installation of new Glashoff sculptures to promote the arts.
Train Station Specific Plan. The City Council adopted the Train Station Specific Plan in July 2011.
The Specific Plan plans for new parks, schools, open space, commercial, industrial, residential, and office land uses arranged in neighborhoods, including a “transit village” near the Train Station. In 2025, the continued build -out of residential single -family homes in Planning Area 4, also known as One Lake, commenced. Additionally, further subdivision improvement maps were executed for the One Lake extension area, Planning Area 5. The Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan was also adopted. The Master Plan serves as a guide for the development of a 50 - acre community park in north Fairfield along the border of the City of Vacaville in Solano County, California.
Zoning Ordinance Cleanup. The City Council approved updates to the Zoning Ordinance. The revisions correct typographical errors, clarify language, and incorporate amendments that
CIT Y O F F AIR FIE L D
202 5 A N N UAL RE P O RT
O N T H E GE N E RAL PL AN
PAG E 5 O F 15
implement city policy, practice, and General Plan goals, objectives, and policies, as well as comply with State law. Specifically, the update created new land use definitions, updated land use and development regulations for several zoning districts, remove d references to the former Downtown Commercial Core (CDC) District in the Train Station Specific Plan PD Overlay District, adjusted development permit requirement thresholds for single -family residential developments, and established new regulations for calculating building transparency.
HOUSING ELEMENT
New Cons truction. Active h ousing construction continued throughout 2025, with residential development focused primarily in northeast Fairfield and the Cordelia area. The One Lake community continued to see building permits issued throughout 2025. Citywide, two hundred forty-six (246) building permits were issued for residential projects in 2025, including 12 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). One hundred ninety (190) residential units were constructed in 2025, including 14 ADUs.
Table 1 summarizes the city’s progress in meeting the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) assigned by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Association of Bay Area Governments. RHNA numbers do not represent a requirement to build affordable housing if resources to support construction are not availa ble and market conditions limit the ability of the city or private entities to build lower cost housing.
Affordable Housing. Two (2) extremely low, two (2 ) very low, three (3) low, and three (3) moderate-income housing units were built in 202 5. As in past years, t he numbers reported in Table 1 are new construction—building permits that have been “finaled” in 2025. City housing policies continue to emphasize preserving housing affordability through rehabilitation loans, first-time homebuyer programs, and mortgage credit certificates. These programs have enabled lower-income households to purchase homes in market priced residential neighborhoods. In addition, short sales and foreclosure sales continued to provide opportunities for lower and moderate-income households with credit and down payments.

In 2025, FHA received funding to administer 914 vouchers, 20 of which were allocated to Veterans through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program.
Inclusionary Housing. The city’s Housing Services Department is working with Economic Planning Systems (EPS) to develop an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. If adopted, the ordinance will require developers to either build affordable units or pay an in-lieu fee, which will be used for additional affordable units. This is in progress and anticipated to be completed by the end of Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Homekey+ Funding. The State of California, through the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), e stablished the Homekey+ Program to provide funding to local governments to create and sustain housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness with behavioral health issues. In a partnership with Fairfield North Texas Street, LLC, The Community Revitalization and Development Corporation, and Danco Communities, the city submitted a joint application for Homekey+ funding in early 2025. The city was awarded $21,535,540 in HCD Homekey+ program funds to support the acquisition and rehabilitation of the property at 3331 N Texas street, transforming it into a permanent supportive housing development known as Vista Ridge. Combined with $500,000 from the city’s Local Housing Trust Fund and $535,541 from the HCD Prohousing Ince ntive Program, the city’s participation in the project includes a loan agreement totaling $23,071,081.

The PUMP evaluates the existing water system infrastructure and incorporates impacts from near-term (2030) and long-term (2050) planned growth to develop a comprehensive road map for the city’s water system Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The document was created to align with the 2024 General Plan, and it serves as the basis for the development of a cost-of-service analysis and will result in the recommendation of a new water rates schedule for the coming years. City staff will return to the council for approval of the new water rates schedule.
Sanitary Sewer Management Plan. The city approved the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan in April 2025 to comply with the State of California Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ. The SWRCB requires all agencies managing a sewer system greater than one mile in length to maintain a Sanitary Sewer M anagement Plan (SSMP) and update it every five years.

PAG E 12 O F 15
focused on access improvements to the Cement Hill Water Treatment Plant due to the widening of Manuel Campos Parkway. The city collaborated with the Solano Irrigation District to relocate the Plant’s entryway to accommodate the roadway expansion, ensuring continued access and compliance with city and district standards. Construction was estimated to cost $1.87 million, with a design and construction period spanning approximately two years. The Cement Hill Water Treatment Plant New Entryway Project was accepted as complete in December 2025.
West Texas Street Utility Relocation. The city secured an Active Transportation Program grant to enhance West Texas Street between Beck Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. However, the existing water main in this area had reached the end of its useful life and conflicted with planned improvements. To a ddress this, the city approved plans and specifications for the West Texas Street Utility Relocation Project, which was completed in July 2025. The water main relocation is necessary to facilitate the broader West Texas Complete Streets Project, which aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety in an area with high accident rates. The Complete Streets Project was developed based on public input and is part of the Heart of Fairfield Specific Plan.
Medical Transportation Services. The current Ambulance Transportation Services contract is set to expire in May 2025. To prepare for a new contract, the Solano Emergency Medical Services Cooperative (SEMSC) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP). In anticipation, the Cities of Fairfield, Benicia, Dixon, Rio Vista, Suisun City, and Vallejo (Member Cities) jointly conducted an Ambulance Services Transportation & Optimization Study, which recommended an ambulance subcontracting model to improve service, financial sustainability, and collaboration. Fairfield led the effort and selected Medic Ambulance Services, Inc. (Medic) as the subcontractor. The First amendment to the Public -Private Partnership (PPP) Agreement expired on April 30, 2025. The new operator for EMS services in Solano County is anticipated to begin May 1 , 2026. Until the new operator begins services, a new PPP Agreement needs to be put in place.
