Zoning Commission Meeting - June 24, 2026

The Town of Stratford Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on June 24, 2026, primarily focused on several zoning and development petitions. Key procurement-related discussions included a special permit and site plan review for a construction storage yard at 384 Surf Avenue, where the commission discussed site improvements, parking, stormwater management, and environmental concerns, ultimately continuing the public hearing to July 1, 2026, to allow for further review. Another significant agenda item was a text amendment related to transit-adjacent density adjustments, which involved procedural disputes over administrative recusal and referral processes, leading to a continuation of the hearing to a special meeting. Additionally, the commission approved a special permit and site plan for a 60-unit multi-family residential building at 2590 Main Street, addressing parking and architectural review board recommendations. The commission also approved a coastal site plan review for a FEMA grant-related house elevation at 105 Washington Parkway and an administrative approval for repairing an in-law apartment at 135 Tanglewood Road. Several motions to continue hearings and approve permits were passed, with attention to compliance with zoning regulations, environmental protections, and community concerns. The meeting highlighted procedural challenges, coordination with town staff and consultants, and the need for further information before final decisions on some items.
