''Not to be confused with [[New Fairview, Texas]], a rural community north of [[Fort Worth]].''
'''Fairview''' is a city in [[Texas]], a suburb of Dallas.
As of 2025, the city leadership has been in a protracted battle with [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]] over LDS' plans to build a temple (the third in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex), due to the proposed height. Originally, the plan was for the temple to have a height of 174 feet, by far the tallest building in the city, and far in excess of the 35-foot limitation on buildings located on property zoned for residential construction. The city and LDS negotiated a non-binding compromise in November 2024, whereby the building would only be 120 feet tall (and also smaller in square footage than originally proposed); however, LDS never filed the agreed-to revised plan, claiming that the city never intended to honor the agreement, and filed suit in January 2024, claiming the city to be in violation of the [[Religious Freedom Restoration Act]].
