Supreme Court of Connecticut
High Watch Recovery Center, Inc. v. Planning & Zoning Commission
May 27, 2025352 Conn. 1
Summary
The court held that the proposed greenhouse would impermissibly expand the plaintiff's valid nonconforming agricultural-therapy use by changing it from seasonal to year-round. Substantial evidence supported the commission's determination because the greenhouse would permit cultivation during periods when outdoor production was not possible. The court reversed the Appellate Court and directed affirmance of the trial court's dismissal.
