Summary

Ordinance No. 6251 was adopted to amend the Trumbull Street Redevelopment Plan to allow adult day care and day habilitation programs as permitted uses; the Planning Board had recommended the minor amendment and the council passed it unanimously.

Council adopted Ordinance No. 6251 to amend the Trumbull Street Redevelopment Plan and explicitly allow adult day care and day habilitation programs as permitted uses within the Trumbull Street Redevelopment Area. The Planning Board recommended the change in a resolution dated January 15, 2026 and the Director of Planning and Community Development framed the amendment as a minor change intended to provide social services and occupy a currently vacant storefront. The ordinance passed on final reading with a 5-0 vote.

Why it matters: Allowing adult day care and day habilitation programs expands permitted social-service uses in the redevelopment area and could enable a new service provider to occupy underused retail or storefront space. The ordinance directs that a copy of the amended redevelopment plan be available for public inspection at the City Clerk's office.

Who said it: The Planning Board resolution and the Director of Planning were cited; Councilman William Gallman noted the center could improve residents' lives.
