Thursday, December 18 – 7:30 PM
Agenda and Instruction for Joining
We want to make you aware of a time-sensitive development involving the property at 1954 Long Ridge Road, the former Diocese of Bridgeport convent site, comprising approximately 22.5 acres.
What is Being Proposed?
The current property owner and developer, G&T Homes has proposed a clustered development of 19 single-family homes, combined with the permanent preservation of ponds, wetlands, and other conservation areas. This proposal is currently under review by the Stamford Environmental Protection Board (EPB) and would require a zone change from the property’s current zoning designation.
Under current zoning in North Stamford, single-family homes are built on minimum one-acre lots. The proposed zone change would allow a different development approach.
There are effectively two potential development paths:
- 19 homes (proposed plan)
- Requires a zoning change from the current zoning rules
- Homes would be built on smaller individual lot areas per home (approx 4/10 acre lots) than currently permitted
- Homes would be clustered, with a larger portion of the overall property preserved as open space under a conservation easement
- Requires EPB approval and subsequent zoning approval
- 15 homes (as-of-right alternative)
- Does not require any zoning change
- Homes would be built on one-acre lots, consistent with existing North Stamford zoning requirements
- Would proceed under current zoning rules, with less land preserved as common open space
