Brad Currier stated to the Commission that many years ago, EDC had wanted to change the zone at the west end of Route 2 to the RCCD Zone and gave a little history on that proposal.
ZEO Leeming stated she had looked at the appication and stated the regulations were very similar to the CD Zone. ZEO Leeming showed a map of the area with the majority of the land being owned by the Mashantucket’s and also showing the steep topography of the area.
Some suggestions for the area were affordable housing or mixed use.
