Supreme Court of Connecticut
Brenmor Properties, LLC v. Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of Lisbon
June 27, 2017326 Conn. 55
Summary
The court affirmed the judgment requiring approval of an affordable housing subdivision despite the proposal's noncompliance with the town's roadway ordinance. It held that roadway standards may be considered under the Affordable Housing Appeals Act but that noncompliance is not automatically sufficient to deny an application; the record must support the statutory balancing required by the Act. It also upheld the trial court's directive that the commission approve the application as submitted, applying abuse-of-discretion review to that remedy.
