Supreme Court of Connecticut

Wihbey v. Zoning Board of Appeals — dissenting

July 29, 2024350 Conn. 87

Summary

The dissent would conclude that the 1994 zoning regulations prohibit short-term occupancy of a single-family dwelling by transient travelers. It reasons that the ordinary meanings of "home" and "residence," read with the regulations' purpose and exclusion of roomers, boarders, and lodgers, require some degree of permanence and do not encompass stays of a few days. McDONALD, J., joined by ECKER, J., would reverse in part the Appellate Court's judgment.
