Zoning commission refers two city petitions for public hearings on June 23, 2026
Summary
The commission voted to refer two city petitions — multiple zoning regulation changes and a zoning map amendment to implement a mixed-use transit-oriented district and overlay zones — to the planning commission and set public hearings for June 23, 2026.
The Danbury Zoning Commission on May 12 referred two petitions from the City of Danbury (filed by Planning Director Waleed Al Bakri) to the planning commission and set public hearings for June 23, 2026.
One petition seeks amendments to multiple sections of the zoning regulations (listed by section in the meeting packet). The second petition proposes zoning-map changes to implement a mixed-use transit-oriented district (MUD-TOD), a priority housing development overlay zone, and two conservation and traffic-mitigation districts in compliance with House Bill 8002.
The motions to refer were made by Commissioners Trotta and seconded by Commissioner Fuchs; both motions carried by voice vote with no opposition. The planning director told the commission these items have been discussed throughout the past year and are ready for formal review and public hearing.
The commission instructed staff to notify surrounding communities and publish notices according to the Connecticut General Statutes; the petitions will be considered publicly on 06/23/2026 when the planning commission and zoning commission hearings are scheduled.
