20 Year Comprehensive Plan
The City of Fairfield updated its Comprehensive Plan in 2009. A major update to the entire Plan had not occurred in almost 25 years. Conditions and trends have changed dramatically as a result of rapid growth and development requiring a major overhaul in order to make it more relevant to today's environment.
The Comprehensive Plan provides a strategic long-term vision to help guide the City's future growth and development. Usually of a general nature, with a long-range outlook, it considers both separately and collectively, all factors affecting growth, development and economic prosperity. The Plan is not only an educational tool, but it also servies as a guide to public and private decision-making. The Plan makes recommendations in the areas of land use, roadways, housing, economic development, public utilities, city services, schools, parks, open space and sustainability.
Land Use Plan
The City of Fairfield Land Use Plan, updated in 2009 as part of the Comprehensive Plan, is the City’s official policy with regard to the form and pattern of future development. It is used to direct growth by serving as a reference guide when considering rezonings, annexations, subdivisions and other items that pertain to the use of land with the City. It is also used to direct planning for public infrastructure and to aid decisions for private sector development.

Thoroughfare Plan
The Thoroughfare Plan for the City of Fairfield, which was recently updated in 2009 as part of the Comprehensive Plan, is a guide used by public and elected officials for the development of future roadway improvement projects. In addition, it is a planning tool used to establish future right-of-ways and plan the construction of new roads through the development process. In order for the plan to remain current and productive, it was recommended that it be reviewed approximately every 10 years so transportation and market condition impacts could be evaluated upon the various thoroughfares in the City.
