As first reported by WestportNow in November (see WestportNow Nov. 10, 2015) the proposal includes 48 units housed in a 64-foot building on the 1.16-acre lot as well as an alternate schematic with a 44-foot building and underground parking.
Stamford-based Garden Homes Management Inc. is in the contract stage for purchase of the property, according to town officials.
According to today’s announcement, the P&Z will consider a CAM (Coastal Area Management) Site Plan application for an 8-30g application for the project. The field trip is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. at the site, said P&Z Director Larry Bradley, who added the project is on the Jan. 21 P&Z meeting agenda.
The controversial 8-30g affordable housing state statute lets developers override zoning regulations if a town does not have 10 percent of its housing stock deemed affordable, which Westport does not.
