Dear Governor Lamont and Legislators,
Please VOTE NO on HB5002, because it:
– Deprioritized state funding if towns do not opt-in to state zoning czar and As-Of-Right approvals of up to 9 units and 8-30g developments in transit area
– Mandates creating ‘realistic opportunity’ that Fair Share quota will be built – forces dense rezoning of mostly market value units without regard to capacity, budget, property taxes, traffic, or open space
– Disallows minimum parking on residential projects under 24 Units
– Ends zoning public hearings on as-of-right commercial conversion to residential
– Developers get legal fees if towns lose 8-30g appeals
– Virtually eliminates residents’ right to protest zoning changes
– As-of-right sections of bill prevents residents from raising environmental issues and filing environmental interventions
Other Bad Concepts:
– Allows developers to extend sewers
– Mandates towns cannot remove homeless or migrants from public land
– Bans requiring any conservation land on lot subdivisions
– Bans Towns temporary 8-30g moratoriums on multifamily development
– Allows Churches to build As-of-Right 8-30gs and homeless/migrant sheds
Sincerely, Connecticut Resident
