Planning and Zoning 6- 2-2026

The Milford Planning and Zoning Board held a meeting on June 2, 2026, addressing several procurement and development-related matters. Key discussions included the city's proposal to enter a 25-year lease with the Walnut Beach Arts and Business Association for the historic Stowe Barn, intended for community arts and public market use. The board approved the lease referral, emphasizing the need for restoration funding before public use. Another significant agenda item was the settlement approval for B33 Milford Crossing LLC's site plan revisions, which passed with conditions despite some board opposition. Additionally, the board reviewed a coastal area management application for a 6,800 square foot addition to Jonathan Law High School, with approval pending the city engineer's report. Lastly, a detailed presentation was made on the redevelopment of the United Church of Christ property into 20 residential units, including affordable housing components, with discussions on site improvements, traffic impact, and compliance with city engineering and fire marshal requirements. The meeting featured motions and votes approving these projects, reflecting ongoing city efforts in property leasing, development, and affordable housing initiatives.
