Zoning Board of Appeals 07-16-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut Zoning Board of Appeals held a virtual meeting on July 16, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request for a property at 38 Westmeir Avenue. The applicant sought multiple variances related to front and side setbacks, building height, and coverage to allow for raising the existing single-family home to meet FEMA flood compliance and to add a modest 220 square foot addition. The board reviewed the property's unique challenges, including its undersized and irregularly shaped lot in a flood zone, and discussed the placement of above-ground propane tanks due to site constraints. The board also considered consistency with the Connecticut Coastal Management Act (CCMA) and FEMA regulations. No final vote was recorded in the transcript, but the board indicated a likely continuance to gather further information on CCMA compliance and propane tank placement. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
