# Village Board takes a second look at the new zoning code

Fairport adopted a new village zoning code on February 9, 2026, and the Village Board is now reviewing how it has worked and what residents have raised about it. No proposed changes have been posted and no vote is scheduled.

At the board's September 28 work session, the Village Planner was to go over concerns residents have raised since adoption and anything the board should consider changing. The results haven't been posted. The next regular Village Board meeting is Tuesday, October 13 at 6 pm, and the next work session is Monday, October 26 at 6 pm, both at Village Hall, 31 South Main Street. Anyone can speak during the Citizens Forum at a regular meeting.

If you're planning a project in the village, read the code itself first: it is Chapter 551 of the village code, on [eCode360](https://ecode360.com/50642702).
