The Enfield, CT Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 25, 2026, primarily focused on a proposed text amendment to allow motor vehicle repair garages and body shops in the I1 industrial zone under specific conditions. The amendment, requested by Amazon.com Services LLC, aimed to permit fleet maintenance operations while prohibiting body work, outdoor storage, and EV battery repair or storage to address safety and operational concerns.

The amendment was approved unanimously with conditions limiting repairs to fleet vehicles only. Additionally, the commission approved a one-year extension for a building permit related to a mixed-use development at 92 Main Street. There was also discussion about potential changes to zoning regulations concerning impervious surface coverage on small residential lots, with plans for further study before any formal amendments. No other procurement or contract awards were discussed during the meeting.
