Referral 2.1: Town of Guilford
Subject: Proposed Zoning Map and Regulation Amendments to add the Town Center South
Overlay District
Staff Recommendation:
The proposed Zoning Regulation Amendments do not appear to cause any negative inter-
municipal impacts to the towns in the South Central Region nor do there appear to be any
impacts to the habitat or ecosystem of the Long Island Sound. The proposed regulations are
consistent with the Regional Plan of Conservation and Development as it promotes denser,
context sensitive, mixed use development and a diversity of housing types and price levels in
close proximity to the train station.
Background:
The Town of Guilford has proposed Zoning Regulation Amendments add the Town Center
South Overlay Zone District. As part of the proposal, a Zone Change is proposed as well and the
attached map can be viewed in your agenda packet. The Zoning Map amendment is not within
500 feet of an adjacent municipality in the South Central Region. The purpose of the district is
to guide new development in accordance with the Town Center South Plan which was completed
in 2007. The district encourages development of a mixed use, higher density, transit-oriented
neighborhood in close proximity to the train station. The development will need to be pedestrian
friendly and environmental and historic preservation are important aspects of development in the
district. The densities in the district should not exceed 6 units per acres. For development to
occur in the proposed district a special permit is required. Parking is to be designed for the needs
of the particular use with shared parking encouraged. The impervious surface cover should not
exceed 80% and any adverse impacts associated with the high coverage should be mitigated
through low impact development practices as identified in the “Guidance Document for Low
Impact Development Best Management Practices”, the development will also need to be in
accordance with the Town’s Coastal Resilience Plan 2013. There are several additional
standards for obtaining a Special Permit which can be reviewed in the agenda packet. Diversity
and affordability are encouraged as part of the development in the proposed district
Communication: In researching this proposal, I notified the adjacent municipalities in the South
