Zoning Enforcement Officer Michael D'Amato told the Planning & Zoning Commission that staff are preparing amendments to Bolton’s zoning regulations to implement elements of House Bill 8002, which focuses on creating additional housing units.
D'Amato said he is working with P. Carson and that the goal is to have regulations as complete as possible by July 1, 2026, while acknowledging refinements may be needed after that date to ensure full compliance if the Connecticut Legislature finalizes related provisions. Commissioners discussed that in Bolton potential outcomes might include converting vacant or underused commercial buildings to housing and noted sewer capacity would limit viable housing projects.
