Greenwich P&Z adopts zoning changes to comply with state housing law
Planning and Zoning · Meeting of June 23, 2026
Greenwich P&Z adopts zoning rewrite to meet state housing-parking law by July 1. The commission voted 5-0 to amend five sections of its zoning regulations under Public Act 25-1, which allows two-to-nine-unit housing as-of-right in commercial zones and kills parking minimums for developments of 16 units or fewer. Members also approved, 5-0, converting two dental offices at 23 Maple Avenue into apartments and a fabric-covered equipment shelter at Burning Tree Country Club.
Separately, the commission referred a complaint to zoning enforcement over pickleball play at Burning Tree, saying its prior approval covered only tennis: "It doesn't matter if the guy's, you know, if it's one person or 10," the chair said of noise crossing a property line. A pending 2,095-acre conservation and traffic-mitigation district, meant to preserve local parking review in older neighborhoods, awaits state and regional comment before a targeted July 7 vote. An 8-30g affordable-housing case at 129 Hamilton Avenue was continued to July 7 over disputed square-footage calculations.
