Groton Planning and Zoning Commission - 6/4/26

The Groton Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 4, 2026, focused on continuing the public hearing and review of the Groton 2035 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). The discussion centered on addressing public comments, technical corrections, and policy issues related to land use, housing, agriculture, open space, and transit. Commissioners debated the future land use map, housing density, and strategies for implementation, including the need for clearer direction on housing opportunity areas and middle housing projects. They emphasized the importance of incorporating public feedback, clarifying maps and graphics, and setting actionable strategies for future zoning and development. The commission agreed to review additional public comments by the next meeting on June 11, 2026, and planned to finalize motions thereafter. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but the planning outcomes could influence future development and municipal projects.
