DARIEN Changes in local zoning regulations will offer more flexibility to developers while potentially increasing affordable housing stock, town officials said.
The Planning and Zoning Commission amended three regulations eliminating the minimum apartment size; amending inclusionary zoning rules to allow for a higher percentage of affordable housing units in certain developments; and lessening some multi-family housing parking requirements.
The moves came as the Desegregate CT group pushed for legislation to make construction of affordable housing easier statewide. Several legislative changes were approved and signed into law by Gov. Ned Lamont earlier this summer.
