Planning and Zoning Special Meeting - 09/29/2026

The Milford Planning and Zoning Board held a special meeting on September 29, 2026, to discuss the City of Milford’s proposed amendments to the CDD-2 zoning regulations, including a proposed district renaming. Staff explained that the changes aim to support development and respond to state statutory updates affecting middle housing and conversions of commercial buildings to residential use. Discussion covered permitted middle housing, residential conversions, affordable-housing density bonuses, building heights and floor-area ratios, allowed uses, parking, and possible changes to restrictions on manufacturing and solar installations. Board members requested further review of several provisions, including different height limits for mixed-use and multifamily buildings, ground-floor residential uses, standalone parking, and a possible traffic conservation district. The public hearing remained open for further input at the next meeting.

No procurement, contract awards, budget allocations, or purchasing decisions were identified. No vote was taken on the proposed zoning amendments; the only motion was to adjourn, which passed without objection. Staff was asked to provide additional information for the next meeting, including on the traffic conservation district and items flagged for further consideration.
