§ 25.23

Fairfield Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Fairfield

25.23.1 Description of Heart of Fairfield Zoning Districts

This Section implements the Heart of Fairfield Plan adopted by the Fairfield City Council in May 2017. This Section provides regulations applicable to development and new land uses in the Specific Plan zoning districts established by the Heart of Fairfield Plan and Section 25.12.2 (Zoning Districts Established). The purposes of individual zoning districts are as follows (all districts include a “Heart of Fairfield” prefix):

A. HD/HDC (Downtown and Downtown Core) District. The HD and HDC zones are applied to parcels in Downtown Fairfield between Empire and Missouri Streets east of Pennsylvania Avenue. The HDC zone applies to properties in the heart of the downtown area along Texas Street and cross streets. Development in the district is intended to implement the vision of the Heart of Fairfield Plan for Downtown Fairfield as a “social, entertainment, and employment heart of the City” through a mixture of specialty shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and cultural uses supported by residential and office uses on upper floors and locations off Texas Street proper. The HD/HDC zoning districts implement the CD/CDC Land Use Designations in the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

B. HWT (West Texas Street). The HWT zoning district applies to areas west of Pennsylvania Avenue adjacent to the West Texas Street corridor but also including residential, undeveloped, and mixed use properties south of the corridor proper. Development in this district is intended to implement the vision of the Plan for a mixed use, higher density residential corridor with commercial uses that support residential development. Off the West Texas Street corridor proper, development will focus

on higher density and medium density residential development, including apartments, townhouses, and limited small lot single family development. Typical uses include neighborhood serving retail, specialty retail, restaurants (not including drive through food service), education, office uses, and limited handicraft and repair businesses. The district is not intended for vehicle sales and service uses. The HWT zoning district is consistent with the Mixed Use-West Texas Street land use category of the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

C. HO (Mixed Use Office). The HO district is applied to the transition zones north and south of the Downtown and Downtown Core districts. The vision for this area is to permit office uses and limited higher density housing while preserving and enhancing the existing mixed residential-office character. The HO district is consistent with the Mixed Use Office land use category of the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

xed Use Office). The HO district is applied to the transition zones north and south of the Downtown and Downtown Core districts. The vision for this area is to permit office uses and limited higher density housing while preserving and enhancing the existing mixed residential-office character. The HO district is consistent with the Mixed Use Office land use category of the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

D. HTD (Transit-Oriented Development) District. The HTD district is applied to the southeastern sector of Downtown near the Suisun-Fairfield Train Station. The vision for this area is to create a new high density residential neighborhood accessible to both Downtown and the Suisun City-Fairfield Train Station south of Highway 12. Commercial uses will be limited to neighborhood supporting retail as well as office uses that support Downtown Fairfield. The HWT district is consistent with the Mixed Use Transit Oriented Development designation in the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

E. HR (Residential). The HR district includes areas south of the Downtown Core as well as parcels in the Woolner Avenue area (including Opportunity Site 5). The neighborhood is the traditional family-friendly residential neighborhood in the Heart of Fairfield, with a strong housing stock of single family homes and smaller apartment buildings. New development will complement this existing character, with an emphasis on medium densities, including single family homes. This development will respect this existing character. The HR district is consistent with the Medium Density Residential-Downtown designation in the Heart of Fairfield Plan.

F. HPF (Public Facilities-Transit) District. This district incorporates the Fairfield Transportation Center at the western end of the Plan Area, including the future (planned) Parking Garage now in design. The basic standards are designed to facilitate construction and operation of the garage. (Ord. No. 2017-14, § 15; Ord. No. 2023-03, § 3.)

25.23.2 Allowed Uses and Permit Requirements

A. Permitted land uses. The land uses allowed by this Zoning Ordinance in Heart of Fairfield zoning districts are identified in the following tables as:

  1. “Permitted” land uses are indicated by a “P” on Table 25-H1. Permitted lands uses are allowed on a property without discretion by the City, subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this Ordinance.

  2. “Conditionally Permitted” land uses are indicated by a “C” on the tables and are allowed only with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Section 25.40.6). These uses are subject to all applicable provisions of this Ordinance as are permitted uses. However, the City has discretion to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a Conditional Use Permit application. The decision on a Conditional Use Permit is based upon the circumstances of an individual case and the criteria in Section 25.40.6.C.

B. Uses not permitted or not listed. Land uses not permitted are those indicated by a “-” on the table. Land uses not listed on the tables are not allowed, except as provided in Section 25.10.6 (Exemptions from Zoning Ordinance Requirements).

C. Regulations for specific uses. Where a column in the following tables includes a reference to a section number or footnote, regulations in the referenced section or footnote apply to the use. However, provisions in other sections of this Zoning Ordinance or City Code may also apply.

D. Ancillary Uses. Ancillary uses are those secondary activities associated with a primary land use directly associated with and supporting said primary permitted or conditionally permitted land use. Ancillary uses and activities typically require a minor portion of the square footage or space in a business premise; impose no additional impacts on land use patterns, building design, parking requirements, or outdoor storage. Examples of ancillary uses include, but are not limited to, small factory stores associated with an active manufacturing plant, on site childcare facilities, etc.

(1) Repealed by Ord. No. 2020-06.

(2) Assembly uses (including churches) in the HDC and HD zone are not permitted on any parcel fronting Texas Street, Madison Street, or Jefferson Street south of Texas Street.

(3) City regulations, standards, and design guidelines shall apply to Public and quasi-public utility facilities only to the extent that the City is not preempted by Federal and State law and the State Public Utilities Commission.

(4) A Conditional Use Permit shall be required for any service station in which the sale of alcoholic beverages, i.e., beer, wine, or distilled spirits, is proposed as part of the convenience market associated with the service.

(5) No vehicle may be stored or displayed on any vacant site or at any vacant commercial/industrial location except when approved as part of an auto dealership.

(6) Within the HDC and HD Zoning Districts, no first floor office uses are permitted facing Texas Street or with door opening onto Texas Street. Only office uses open to foot traffic and with regular walk-in customers shall be permitted.

(7) Within HD and HDC Zoning Districts, business spaces shall incorporate more than 70% of the floor area for retail display with no more than 30% of the area devoted to warehousing or storage of merchandise. The retail or service business shall be open to foot traffic during periods of typical business hours.

(8) Spa and massage therapy facilities shall comply with Chapter 10A

(9) Transitional and supportive housing are not regulated as a separate land use. Rather, it is a means of occupying a residential land use (e.g. single family detached housing, duplex, multifamily) and such occupancy must meet all existing standard requirements for the underlying residential land use and the residential unit. Determinations regarding the permissiveness of transitional housing will depend on the number of independent arrangements between tenants and the operator of the service. For example, more than two independent arrangements within a single housing unit will be regulated as a boarding house.

(10) Surface parking lots are not permitted on Texas Street in the HD and HDC Zoning Districts.

(11) Housing is not permitted on the first floor on Texas Street in the HD and HDC Zoning Districts.

(13) In HWT Zone, commercial uses permitted only on parcels with direct access to West Texas Street and Beck Avenue.

(14) Residential uses in the CD zoning district shall comply with the development standards in the HO Zoning District.

(15) Permitted only if all activity, including storage of equipment and supplies, occurs indoors.

(16) Coworking spaces are conditionally permitted on the ground floor of buildings facing Texas Street in the HD and HDC Zoning Districts. In the HD and HDC Zoning Districts, coworking spaces are permitted on ground floors and upper floors facing streets other than Texas Street.

(17) Retail sales of cannabis shall not be located on any commercial or industrial property within the area bounded by Travis Blvd., Pennsylvania Ave., and Gateway Blvd.

(18) No commercial cannabis business, whether Retail, Manufacturing, or Testing Lab, shall be closer than six hundred (600) feet from any of the following sensitive uses that are in existence at the time a permit application is deemed complete: a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or any grades 1 through 12; a child day care center; or a youth center, as defined in Chapter 10E of the Fairfield Municipal Code. The distance measured shall be the horizontal distance measured in a straight line from the property line of the parcel with the sensitive use to the closest property line of the lot on which the cannabis business is located.

(19) Personal Care and Domestic Services uses shall be limited to a maximum of 15 establishments in the HDC District on the ground floor.

(20) Permanent outdoor commercial recreation activities are prohibited.

(21) “Personal care and domestic services – Limited” uses are not permitted on the ground floor for any parcels fronting Texas Street in the HD District.

(22) Service station uses in the HWT District shall not be permitted within a 1,600-foot radius of existing service stations.

(Ord. No. 2017-14, §§ 15, 16; Ord. No. 2018-03, § 4; Ord. No. 2018-06, §§ 11 – 15; Ord. No. 2020-05, § 8; Ord. No. 2020-06, § 2; Ord. No. 2020-14, § 5; Ord. No. 2020-20, §§ 7 – 9; Ord.

25.23.3 General Development Regulations

All new development, subdivisions, establishment of new land uses, and alterations to existing land uses, structures and site improvements, shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the regulations in the following tables, except those activities and land uses specified in Section 25.10.6 (Exemptions from Zoning Ordinance Requirements). Additional Zoning Ordinance regulations may apply as referenced in the tables, as well as other City Code regulations City Standards, Specifications and Details, or regulations of another local agency, special district, and State or Federal agency. In addition, development in the Heart of Fairfield Plan Areas must be consistent with the vision, goals, objectives, and design concepts outlined in the Plan.

The Heart of Fairfield Zoning General Development Regulations, unlike the zone-based regulations in other Sections of this Ordinance, are based on building type. Building types specifically addressed in this Ordinance include non-residential (commercial, office, and institutional buildings), multifamily (apartments and townhouses with at least three attached dwelling units), single family homes, and mixed use (commercial/institutional and residential buildings). Specific guidelines are also established for the proposed Fairfield Transportation Center parking structure on Auto Mall Parkway.

As determined necessary, the City will review calls for police service related to illegal activities, public disturbances or nuisances and compare the amount of calls for service at like establishments. A pattern of service calls that are disproportionate in comparison to other bars/lounges in the City will be deemed a public nuisance operation. In such event, the City Council may impose additional requirements, such as the provision of private security, the modification of operating hours or other limits on the use of the premises. In the alternative, the City may initiate proceedings for the revocation of the Business License, and where appropriate, may work with California Alcoholic Beverages Commission to support revocation of an alcoholic beverages license.

Revocation proceedings may be initiated for violations of law or public nuisance activities on or related to the premises, including, but not limited to, the following:

a. Sales of alcoholic beverages to minors or intoxicated persons.

b.

The location and placement of the cameras shall be subject to approval by the Fairfield Police Department.

  2. No pay phone shall be maintained on the premises.

  3. Loitering is prohibited, and the owner/operator shall monitor the area under their control to prevent the loitering of persons about the premises.

  4. Signs shall be posted with the Age 21 limit warning that “California State Law prohibits sale of alcoholic beverages to persons who are under 21 years old.” (Ord. No. 2020-06, § 2.)

25.23.4.2 Entertainment with Any Food Service or Bar in the Heart of Fairfield

Entertainment with any Food Service or Bar is permitted in all locations in the HD and HDC Zoning Districts if it complies with the following requirements:
