Woodbridge Zoning Panel To Hold Hearings On Shared Housing, Child Care Rules

WOODBRIDGE, CT — The Town Plan and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hold public hearings Nov. 2 on proposed zoning changes for shared community residential housing and family and group child care homes.

The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Central Meeting Room at Woodbridge Town Hall, 11 Meetinghouse Lane.

Winter Cartwright’s proposed zoning text amendment would establish shared community residential housing as a use allowed by permit. The proposal includes sober or recovery housing, transitional housing, veterans housing and supportive housing.

A separate amendment proposed by the commission concerns zoning regulations for family and group child care homes. Both amendments also appear on the commission’s work session agenda for consideration.

Housing Planning And Former Country Club Property

Commissioners are scheduled to receive an update on their housing work over the next two years, including development of a Housing Growth Plan and potential changes to opportunity housing regulations.

The work session also includes an informational discussion of a request for expressions of interest for two designated development areas at the town-owned property formerly known as the Country Club of Woodbridge. The two areas total approximately 25 to 30 acres.

Sign Application And Other Business

Under new business, the commission is scheduled to take up Deanna Birdsong’s application for a special exception permit to install a freestanding sign at 264 Amity Road.

Other work session items include regional planning and zoning enforcement reports and meeting dates for January 2027 through January 2028.

Commissioners are also scheduled to consider approval of minutes from the Aug. 4 special meeting and Oct. 5 regular meeting.
