Commissioner: PZC hearing on Ffyler Place density continued to June; sign rule tweaks proposed
Summary
Commissioner Jeff Girard reported the Planning & Zoning hearing on a text amendment to allow higher-density apartments on Ffyler Place was continued to June to let the applicant consider a mixed‑use revision; proposed temporary sign‑regulation changes aimed to help retailers were also discussed.
Commissioner Jeff Girard told the Economic Development Commission that a Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on a text amendment to allow higher density for apartments on Ffyler Place has been continued to June so the applicant can consider modifying the proposal to include mixed use in response to feedback from businesses already on the property.
Girard also described proposed modifications to the town’s temporary sign regulation intended to make it easier for retail businesses to advertise their location and offerings. Chairman Gayle Demko said she discussed options for displaying signs on the town green and at Babbs Road with First Selectman Colin Moll and is collecting proposals for picket‑fence display structures.
Why it matters: Changes to zoning text and sign regulations could affect future development patterns on Ffyler Place and how small retailers advertise; the PZC hearing continuation gives the applicant time to consider mixed‑use changes suggested by existing merchants.
