Also discussed

ADU Ordinance Update to Comply with State Law
Fairfield wants to update its rules for accessory dwelling units — backyard cottages and in-law units — to match recent changes in state law. The Planning Commission recommends on this, but the City Council makes the final call, so these rules could shape what homeowners can build for years to come.
What it means: Homeowners who want to build or rent out an ADU would get clearer, state-compliant rules.
