City staff are currently developing draft policies as part of the General Plan Update. These draft policies are informed by three years’ worth of public input and City Council direction and will implement the community’s vision for the future. The Planning Commission will provide recommendations on the draft General Plan policies prior to release of the public review drafts in summer 2024.

This Notice of Preparation (NOP) Scoping Meeting provides an opportunity for interested parties and individuals to comment on the scope and content of environmental information to be included in the EIR on the Project. The NOP for the Project has been recirculated to reflect several changes in the Project scope since the previous NOP for the Project was released on August 16, 2021:

 (1) The Housing Element is no longer a part of the General Plan Update. The previous NOP envisioned the Housing Element to be a part of the General Plan Update; however, because of State deadlines, the 6th Cycle 2023-2031 Housing Element was adopted and Negative Declaration certified on February 7, 2023.

 (2) The General Plan now includes preparation of an Environmental Justice Element.  Two census tracts in Fairfield now meet the criteria of a “disadvantaged community” based on updated data from the California Environmental Protection Agency’s CalEnviroscreen 4.0 methodology.

(3) The Project includes targeted amendments to the adopted Heart of Fairfield and Train Station specific plans, including adjustments to densities, land use changes, and zoning boundaries, while maintaining the overall vision and objectives of the plans.

Therefore, the City is recirculating the NOP and will be hosting an additional Scoping Meeting. Please register for the Zoom meeting here.

At this meeting we will continue to solicit your input on policy ideas for achieving the community’s vision for the future. We plan to discuss land use, urban design, health and safety, and sustainability.

On December 19th, the City Council will hold a study session on the General Plan Preferred Plan. The Preferred Plan communicates the community’s vision for how the City will grow and develop over the next 25+ years and provides the foundation for more detailed policies.

At the December 19th session, the Council will be asked to confirm direction of the Preferred Plan guiding policies and provide any additional ideas or suggestions to be reflected in the General Plan document, which will be developed in the coming months.

This Study Session will focus on future land uses in Cordelia as the City Council has already established its vision for land uses throughout most of the City.

The Preferred Plan will form the basis of the remainder of the General Plan Update as well as the Climate Action Plan and Environmental Impact Report. Following the establishment of the Preferred Plan, staff will develop General Plan Elements and policies.
