MENTAL & PHYSICAL WELLBEING
The Police Department received an $80k grant which will be used to address police officer mental and physical health needs. The money will fund world level wellness training from O2X, a new health and fitness instructor group, a healthy food/ meal prep program, and updated workout equipment.
CHECKPOINTS AND OPERATIONS Last year the Police Department conducted 6 DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints, 42 DUI Saturation Patrols, 89 Traffic Enforcement Operations, 21 Distracted Driving Operations, 17 Motorcycle Enforcement Operations, and 17 Bicycle/Pedestrian Enforcement Operations.
MULTIFAMILY HOUSING Last year the Planning Commission issued entitlements for more than 600 multifamily units throughout the City including the 346-unit Aviatrix townhome project near the Fairfield- Vacaville Train Sation, the 185-unit Green Valley III apartment project in the Green Valley Corporate Park, and the 72-unit Aurora apartment project next to the Cordelia Library. PLANNING COMMISSION ENTITLEMENTS After more than two years of establishing master plans for one-third of the developable area within the Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP), Planning Commission entitlements have been issued. The Master Plan Unit Development Permits facilitate more than 1,100 units of housing within one-half mile of the train station and more than four million square feet of industrial and employment uses approximately one mile east of the station.

HOUSING ELEMENT CERTIFICATION After 18 months of documenting City policies and programs to ensure high-quality, affordable housing, the General Plan Housing Element received certification from the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The Housing Element demonstrates the City’s ability to meet the state-mandated eight-year goal for housing production and certification ensures the City will remain eligible for all state housing grants and programs. Certification will also protect the City’s zoning authority for housing development. Fairfield was the 15th of 109 Bay Area jurisdictions to receive certification.
