Town responds to updated application materials from applicant for 95 Broadway Project

On November 22, 2025, the Town of Fairfax issued a response letter to the applicant regarding the proposed 95 Broadway mixed-use project. The correspondence follows updated application materials submitted on November 14, 2025.

The Town’s response provides a conditional approval for the project, listing pages of conditions that the developer will need to meet in order to complete building permits. Among the conditions are approval through the Fire Department, Sewer and Water Districts, regional and state agencies.

The Town is obligated to comply with state law. To provide input to your lawmakers at the State level: Find Your California Representatives and Contact the Governor | Governor of California.

There is significant risk in denying a housing project in California. The California Department of Housing and Community Development and the California Attorney General’s office have the opportunity to file litigation, and have filed litigation in other jurisdictions, challenging denials of housing development projects. Additionally, Public interest housing-advocate groups can join or bring parallel lawsuits when a housing project is denied. Even if the applicant settles with a city, the State can continue the litigation. Furthermore, the applicant, the State, and the housing-advocate groups can all claim extensive attorney’s fees and costs (including expert-witness and consulting fees). Fees and costs are frequently awarded even if they prevail on only one claim out of several. The cost to cities can be staggering.

Left with no alternative, the Town reluctantly provided the conditional approval, with pages of conditions of approval on the project. A letter notifying the applicant of the Town’s approval, along with a list of all required conditions for the approval to be effective, was sent to the applicant on November 22, 2025.

A copy of the letter, with the conditions of approval, is available online.

Help shape Fairfax’s Bicycle & Pedestrian future - Walk audit recap, survey, and upcoming meeting

On November 16, BPAC members, Town staff, and residents completed a 1.5-mile walk audit to assess connectivity and safety along key routes between the Library, Broadway/Center, Good Earth, and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. Participants used AARP’s walk audit worksheet, and their findings—along with results from additional autumn and winter engagement activities—will be presented at the January 22 BPAC meeting.

Community input is essential to the 2026 update of Fairfax’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Please take a few minutes to complete the Town’s map-based walking, biking, and rolling survey and share your real-world experiences.

If you need accommodations to complete the survey, please contact Associate Planner Bryn McKillop at bmckillop@townoffairfaxca.gov.
