This was a public hearing of the Town of Fairfield Connecticut Zoning Board of Appeals held on August 6, 2026, focused on appeals to reverse or modify zoning enforcement decisions regarding notices of violation for two properties at 461 and 489 Westway Road. The violations concerned the purchase of affordable housing units under Section 30G housing regulations, specifically whether the purchasers met income eligibility requirements and used the properties as primary residences. The hearing included detailed testimony from the zoning enforcement officer, the property administrator, and legal representatives, discussing the interpretation and application of the affordability plan, income calculations, amended tax returns, and procedural issues such as subpoena compliance. No final vote was taken; the hearing was continued to allow for additional witnesses and further deliberation. The discussion highlighted complexities in enforcing affordable housing regulations, including disputes over income verification methods and the authority of town officials.
