Summary

Consultants led a two-hour public workshop in Old Lyme to gather community input on residential zoning, accessory dwelling units, multifamily opportunities and trade-offs between preserving town character and adding housing.

The Old Lyme Zoning Commission convened a consultant-led public workshop to solicit community input on residential zoning and housing options as part of Phase 2 of a multi-stage zoning update. Francisco Gomes of iMEG framed the session as an information-and-feedback workshop, noting that the team will compile the input before proposing any text or map changes.

"We're now in phase 2 of that process," Gomes said, describing Phase 1 as a formatting and compliance update that was adopted earlier this year. He emphasized the session was intended for listening and data-gathering: the consultant team will present a summary report and the results will inform subsequent work with the commission.
