WHAT’S YOUR FAIR SHARE

Input your Name and Town to email the below Petition to your legislators


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
