Planning and Zoning - 09/01/2026

The Milford Planning and Zoning meeting held on September 1, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing multiple coastal area site plan applications for single-family residences, including projects at 12 Caroline Street, 181ic Drive, and 131 Milford Point Road. Each project involved compliance with zoning and floodplain regulations, with conditions such as submission of revised plans and engineer approvals before permitting. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to a contentious site plan review and parking lot expansion at 674 Nogatuck Avenue, where the applicant and city staff disagreed on zoning compliance, parking requirements, and landscaping plans. The board voted to continue consideration to allow resolution of outstanding issues. Additionally, a special exception was approved for an indoor children's playground at 260284 Quarry Road. The meeting also addressed proposed zoning regulation changes for the CDD2 district, including middle housing provisions and restrictions on certain commercial uses, with discussion on definitions and impacts on development. The board agreed to defer final action on these regulations to allow further review and public input.
