The Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on October 27, 2026, reviewed development applications and zoning matters; no procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. The commission approved the 43 Old Post Road No. 2 site plan with conditions, including completion of the affordable-housing plan and resolution of sewer, fire-safety, accessibility, and emergency-vehicle requirements. It also approved coastal site plans for 50 and 50A Lachland Avenue with conditions that included relocating the building footprints about 12 feet toward the street; the 50A motion passed, while the vote sequence for 50 was unclear in the transcript. The Riverside Avenue historic-overlay map amendment and related site plan were approved. Applications for One Highland Road and 49 Brookside Drive were continued for further work, and the Greenwich Park application and a subdivision proposal were postponed.

The commission discussed a proposed zoning text amendment that would allow payments to the Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust in lieu of some required below-market units, but made no decision on the amendment. It approved establishing a short-term affordable-housing task force to develop a preliminary framework for possible mandatory inclusionary zoning and a commission position on fee-in-lieu policy, with its first meeting scheduled for November 5. Other pre-application discussions included a proposed Greenwich Academy campus, where commissioners and residents raised questions about traffic, parking, wetlands, tree removal, and the project’s future phases; no approval was considered at this stage.
