City of Groton Planning & Zoning Commission - 4/21/26

The City of Groton Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on April 21, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning text amendments and a coastal area management application. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a text amendment (TA01-26) to define and permit pet training, grooming, and daycare facilities in the general commercial zone, which was supported by public testimony and approved with a vote. Additionally, the commission reviewed a coastal area management application for constructing a single-family home on a non-conforming lot at 25 Circle Avenue, with conditions related to stormwater management and site plan modifications based on test pit results. The meeting also addressed updates to zoning regulations to comply with new housing legislation, including middle housing provisions, parking requirements, and procedural changes for site plan reviews. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the zoning amendments and development approvals could influence future procurement and development activities in Groton.
