On 2/1/2023 we petitioned the court the pursue action against the Town of Fairfax. Fairfax did not comply with the State’s Housing Element Law that was to go into effect by 1/31/2023. The Town did not even publish a draft revision to comply with this law. The Town was sent a letter on 12/16/2022 stating that if they acknowledged their lack of compliance and were unallowed to reject housing development plans until they meet the housing element, litigation would be foregone. The Town never responded to this letter and therefore we filed for court intervention.
