Supreme Court of Connecticut

Tillman v. Planning & Zoning Commission

October 20, 2021341 Conn. 117

Summary

The court affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' challenge to Shelton's approval of a planned development district. It held that the general zoning authority granted by § 8-2 permits municipalities to create such districts, that the district complied with § 8-2's uniformity requirement, and that the approval did not itself effect an unlawful subdivision. The court also concluded that the particular development was not impermissible spot zoning because it covered a substantial area and was consistent with the comprehensive plan.
