The applicant behind a proposed 14-unit affordable housing development on Parade Hill Road is suing the town following the Planning & Zoning Commission’s unanimous decision to deny the application. The Commission voted June 23 to reject the proposal for 30 Parade Hill Road after determining it did not qualify as “assisted housing” under Connecticut’s affordable housing statute, known as 8-30g. Because of that finding, commissioners concluded the project was not exempt from the town’s active affordable housing moratorium. In its resolution, the Commission said the proposal did not meet the statutory definition of assisted housing for several reasons. As a result, P&Z concluded the development did not qualify as assisted housing under the statute and therefore was subject to the town’s affordable housing moratorium.
