Supreme Court of Connecticut

Tillman v. Planning & Zoning Commission

October 20, 2021341 Conn. 117

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiffs’ appeal, holding that Connecticut’s general zoning enabling statute authorizes municipalities to create planned development districts. It further held that the district complied with the statute’s uniformity requirement because it created a new zone governed by one set of regulations, and that the commission did not approve an unlawful subdivision because no existing property lines were altered. The court also concluded that the proposed 121-acre development was not impermissible spot zoning.
