Zoning

Local regulations that govern how land may be used — residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use. Zoning changes and P&Z hearings are among the most followed local real estate stories in Connecticut.

Example: A text amendment allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can increase housing supply in single-family zones.
