The City of Fairfield has a weekly staff technical review meeting to review development plans for all projects in the city, with the exception of individual residential lots. Plans are reviewed for compliance with the Building and Zoning Code, fire safety regulations, water and sewer connections, storm water detention, traffic impact, and other related planning and development items.
