Challenging to Investors
Fairfield allows STRs but with significant constraints including Board of Adjustment approval, strict 4-unit cap, limited zoning districts (R-2/R-3/B-1 only, prohibited in R-1), multiple inspections, and operational restrictions like parking requirements and no external signage. The multi-layered approval process involving both city and state health departments creates notable compliance burden and investment risk.
