Planning Commission adopts revised bylaws, reviews training requirements and upcoming applications
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously adopted a revised set of bylaws effective March 24, 2026, and discussed commissioner training requirements, an upcoming design event at the library, and several future zoning and text-amendment applications.
The Planning Commission adopted revised bylaws effective March 24, 2026, approving a clean C26 version after confirming edits discussed in prior meetings.
Commissioners reviewed the final text and agreed it reflected earlier consensus on election-calling language and other procedural points. A motion to adopt the bylaws carried unanimously.
The commission also discussed training obligations for planning and zoning commissioners: members are required to complete four hours of training in their first year of service, which covers a four-year compliance period, and the Connecticut Planning Association and Connecticut Bar sponsor a larger workshop every other March. Commissioners requested staff compile each member's training status for the next meeting.
Staff and commissioners outlined upcoming agenda items. The commission will consider a preliminary site application for "One Free Mill Pond" and anticipated text amendments in a future meeting. Commissioners encouraged attendance at a public design session at the library on the 30th (a drop-in from 6 to 8 p.m. and a formal presentation 7 to 9 p.m.).
The commission adjourned at 7:33 p.m.
