Planning and Zoning - 09/15/2026

The MGAT Planning and Zoning meeting held on September 15, 2026, focused primarily on zoning and site plan reviews related to property development in Milford. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a site plan review for Christopher Saley to expand and construct a new parking lot at 674 Naugatuck Avenue, with conditions requiring submission of updated plans and completion of 100 parking spaces. The Board unanimously approved this motion. Additionally, the meeting addressed a special permit for a partial above-ground pool and a significant discussion on proposed zoning regulation changes (CDD2 to DDD2) aimed at encouraging mixed-use development and replicating downtown success in Devon. The regulation changes included adjustments to parking requirements influenced by recent state law changes, height limits, and housing density bonuses. The Board voted unanimously to refer the proposed zoning regulation changes to the subcommittee for further review, scheduling a special meeting on September 29, 2026, to continue discussions. Public comments emphasized concerns about parking, walkability, and maintaining business presence on first floors in downtown areas. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the zoning changes could impact future development and procurement opportunities in the city.
