Groton Planning and Zoning Commission - 6/23/26

The Groton Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 23, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and adopting the Groton 2035 Plan of Conservation and Development. The commission discussed various technical edits, map updates, and clarifications related to housing density, open space, and zoning overlays. A motion was passed to adopt the plan with specified modifications, including updating trail locations and highlighting water resource protection zones. Additionally, the commission deliberated on whether to hold a public hearing for a proposed zoning text amendment (application 26 tax year 004) that introduces a new floating zone tool for developers, ultimately deciding to schedule a special meeting on July 28, 2026, to open the hearing. Other agenda items included approval of previous meeting minutes and a referral on a zoning map amendment in neighboring Stonington. No contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed during this meeting.
