The Town anticipates significant interest in the April 24, 2025, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and the April 29, 2025, Town Council meeting, in which an application will be considered for a conditional use permit for a religious facility.
Both meetings, which will have public hearings beginning at approximately 7 p.m., will be held in the Council Chambers at Fairview Town Hall, 372 Town Place. Seating capacity is extremely limited, and standing in the Council Chamber will not be permitted. There will be some limited standing-only space in the lobby.
Members of the public who do not wish to address the Commission or Council are strongly encouraged to watch live streams of the meetings rather than attend in person. Streaming links for both meetings will be provided on the meeting agenda and on the Town Website.
Entry to Town Hall
The Town is ensuring safety for all attendees by establishing a single point of entry for the public on the west side of Town Hall, which has wheelchair ramp access. (The west entrance faces Fairview Town Center.) Entry will be divided equally among Fairview residents and nonresidents. Bring a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID to verify residency status.
Members of the public will not be permitted inside Town Hall between the end of business hours – 4:30 p.m. – and when doors will open for the meeting – 6 p.m.
Parking will be available on the north side of the iPic theater and the former Lark’s, 351 Town Place, in Fairview Town Center. The parking lot is directly northwest of Town Hall.
A limited number of parking spaces will also be available in the north portion of the Town Hall parking lot, however, a large portion of the Town’s parking lot will be closed to the public to allow emergency vehicles access.
Admission to Town Hall will only be permitted as long as established capacity remains available. Entry is not guaranteed to anyone.
