Town Plan and Zoning (Regular Meeting) - 8/25/2026

The Fairfield Plan and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on August 25, 2026, focusing on several zoning and development applications. Key procurement-related discussions centered on a major redevelopment project at 2131 Black Rock Turnpike and 414 Stilton Road by Still Rock LLC, represented by attorney John Fallon. The proposal involves demolishing two existing one-story commercial buildings and replacing them with two three-story mixed-use commercial buildings totaling approximately 50,000 square feet, including public plazas and outdoor dining areas. The project aims to improve pedestrian connectivity, reduce curb cuts, enhance landscaping, and upgrade stormwater management. Traffic and parking studies were presented, addressing concerns about access, sightlines, and parking capacity, including ADA compliance. The commission discussed the project's alignment with the town's Plan of Conservation and Development and considered public comments expressing concerns about traffic impacts and coordination with the state Department of Transportation. The commission also reviewed and approved several coastal site plan applications with conditions related to flood zone compliance and environmental protections. Motions were passed to deny a signage application with direction for alternative placement and to approve multiple coastal development projects. The meeting concluded with the closing of the public hearing on the Black Rock Turnpike redevelopment proposal.
