DARIEN The town’s Planning & Zoning Commission has notified the state’s joint housing committee it rejects the “one-size-fits-all” concept of proposed housing bills.
In testimony to legislators regarding several proposed laws in this session related to housing and zoning changes, P&Z Chairman Steve Olvany said the commission believes Darien residents are better served by their own local officials.
The testimony on three bills proposed from Olvany urged the lawmakers to preserve local control over zoning, land use and housing matters affecting Darien and all other municipalities in the state.
