# Planning & Zoning Commission, September 15, 2026

The Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on September 15, 2026, addressing multiple land use and development applications. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals and conditions for final site plans and special permits for residential subdivisions and conversions, such as the St. Paul's Episcopal Society subdivision, the 18 Simmons Lane residential expansion, and the 17 Byron Road coastal re-subdivision. The commission reviewed zoning text amendments related to affordable housing incentives, including payment-in-lieu provisions and conversion of office buildings to residential use, with extensive dialogue on policy implications and stakeholder input. Several applications involved coordination with departments such as sewer, public works, conservation, and fire marshal, with conditions imposed for infrastructure, environmental protection, and energy system commissioning. The commission also discussed historic preservation overlay options for a proposed accessory dwelling unit on a historic property. Votes were taken to approve certain site plans with conditions, and some applications were continued pending further review or additional information. The meeting reflected a focus on balancing development, environmental concerns, affordable housing policy, and community input.
