Fairfield council adopts resolution raising zoning hearing application fees
Summary
Fairfield Borough Council on April 28 adopted Resolution #03-2026 raising the Zoning Hearing Application fee from $500 to $1,750 for residential properties and from $850 to $2,000 for business properties. The measure passed by unanimous acclamation.
Fairfield Borough Council adopted Resolution #03-2026 on April 28, raising zoning hearing application fees for residential properties from $500 to $1,750 and for business properties from $850 to $2,000. The resolution was moved by Councilor Pat Pileggi, seconded by Councilor Dennis Bucher, and carried by unanimous acclamation.
The fee changes amend the borough’s schedule of fees 'per the Borough Ordinance' as recorded in the council minutes; the minutes do not state an effective date or provide additional rationale for the increase. Council did not record a roll-call vote, only that the motion passed by unanimous acclamation.
The resolution was the most significant policy action taken during the meeting and was approved alongside routine business. The council did not discuss implementation details such as fee-waiver provisions, staff processing changes, or an effective date in the minutes. The council’s next regular meetings are scheduled for May 6 and May 26, 2026, where staff or council members could provide follow-up information if needed.
