Planning commission forwards accessory‑dwelling‑unit ordinance to town council
Summary
Fairfield’s planning commission voted unanimously to send proposed amendments allowing accessory dwelling units in certain zones and related code definitions to the Town Council for consideration.
On Dec. 4 the Fairfield Planning & Zoning Commission voted to forward an ordinance amending chapter 10.11 to permit accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in certain zones and to amend related definitions to the Town Council.
The motion, read by a commissioner at the meeting, sought council consideration of code changes including the addition of section 10.7.255 to establish ADU regulations and cross‑references in title 12 to update definitions. After a second, roll call votes recorded support from all commissioners present.
Commissioners indicated the proposal had been discussed previously and that they were satisfied with the draft language at this point; no substantive debate took place during the meeting. The commission’s action sends the proposed ordinance to the Town Council for formal consideration and possible adoption.
Next steps include placing the ordinance on a council agenda; the planning commission will monitor any edits made at the council level.
