New 8-30g Proposal: 18 Units in 2-Family and Single Family Homes Across from Bruce Park

Not all developments proposed under 8-3og, Connecticut's affordable housing statute, are for dozens or hundreds of units in multi-story buildings. Greenwich Planning & zoning has received a new pre-application for 18-units submitted as a "set aside" development on several properties on Davis Ave and Home Place, across the street from I95 and Bruce Park. The properties in the project are in the R6 zone, which is limited to single or two family homes and allows for a max FAR of .55. The 18 units would be a mix of single and two family homes with a proposed FAR of .35. Today there are 7 structures for a total of 12 units of housing. Image may be NSFW.
