City of Bridgeport (COB): ZBA Meeting - 10.13.2026

The City of Bridgeport Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, held October 13, 2026 (the title date; metadata lists October 14 UTC), considered several land-use applications. At 381 Bishop Avenue, a motor-vehicle upholstery workshop application drew opposition citing building and fire-code issues; the applicant was absent, and the matter was closed without a recorded vote. At 650–670 Nolton Street, the applicant sought a variance for two existing storage containers. The discussion included a proposed condition prohibiting other outdoor storage, and a motion to approve appears in the transcript, but the final vote is unclear. A Pembroke Street use-variance item was deferred for a presentation at a future hearing.

The board also heard applications for front-yard parking at two Birmingham Street homes, with applicants citing steep grades and ledge and a neighboring owner speaking in support; the transcript does not clearly capture the outcomes. At 122 Arctic Street, the City’s sustainability office sought a lot-coverage variance for a greenhouse at a community garden, describing a proposed 48-by-16-foot structure and noting a prior grant application to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. A motion to approve appears, but the vote outcome is not clear in the transcript. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
