Supreme Court of Connecticut
131 Beach Road, LLC v. Town Plan & Zoning Commission
July 11, 2024349 Conn. 647
Summary
The court held that the zoning commission failed to satisfy its statutory burden when it limited the height of an affordable housing development based on its potential visibility from a nearby historic district. The court further held that the affordable-housing statutory procedure applied to the requested zoning-text amendment only insofar as it governed the plaintiff’s property, not the entire zoning district. The judgment was reversed in part and remanded for approval of a property-specific amendment.
