Scoping Meeting: Recirculated Notice of Preparation

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.
