Fairfield, Conn., October 3, 2024—The Town of Fairfield’s Plan & Zoning Commission (TPZ) has
scheduled a hearing on Tuesday, October 15 th  at 6:30 pm at the Fairfield Regional Fire School at 205
Richard White Way to receive public comment on the draft Plan of Conservation and Development
(POCD). 
The POCD establishes priorities for public and private investment in the community for the next ten
years. It is also used to inform the town’s regulatory framework, such as the Zoning Regulations, and
is frequently used to highlight local policy priorities for grant funding opportunities. The plan includes
input from public engagement efforts that took place during the planning process.
The Plan’s core recommendations seek to preserve our single-family residential and historic
neighborhoods, balanced with an obligation to diversify housing options at all price points. Some
recommendations include identifying opportunities for mixed use development with a particular focus
on the Fairfield Black Rock train station / Commerce Drive area, initiating planning processes for an
Open Space Conservation and Management Plan, the Master Flood Mitigation and Resilience Plan,
and a Complete Streets Manual to balance the needs of protecting natural resources while creating a
more resilient and multi-modal Fairfield. After the ultimate plan adoption, next steps will include a
comprehensive review of the zoning regulations.
