Planning & Zoning Commission 11/09/2026

The North Haven Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, considered several land-use applications; no government procurement or purchasing activity was identified. The Commission unanimously approved the special-permit and site-plan applications for additions at the 600 Washington Avenue auto dealerships, with sidewalks included, and unanimously approved the site plan for a cannabis warehouse and beverage-distribution use at 301 State Street. A proposed zoning amendment concerning first-floor residential units in mixed-use developments was continued to the next month for further review. Commissioners and members of the public raised questions about how the amendment could affect districts that restrict apartments and about its affordability requirements.

The Commission also heard, but did not decide, an application for a roughly 30-acre mixed-use development at 300 Elm Street, proposed to include about 400 residential units and more than 150,000 square feet of commercial uses. Discussion focused on traffic, parking, emergency-vehicle access, affordability, and impacts on nearby residents; the hearing was continued to December 7. A proposed zoning amendment to allow up to three digital billboards in an overlay district also remained open and was continued for review of concerns about lighting, safety, and potential effects on residents and wildlife. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or spending actions were considered.
