We, the residents of Stamford, oppose the draft Comprehensive Plan’s expanded land use guidance that would permit a range of multi-family residences in zones currently zoned for single-family properties within the City of Stamford. This objection includes the introduction of concepts that would alter the current single-family zone designations to a classification of R-2, "Residential Neighborhood," which the Plan describes is intended to support a range of single-family and “missing middle housing types”- including duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes, as well as expanded sized Accessory Dwelling Units, (ADUs) and other nonresidential uses with no off-street parking requirements. It may be technically correct that this Plan by itself does not rezone single-family neighborhoods. However, if this provision is included in the Comprehensive Plan, introduction of these multi-family housing types in single-family neighborhoods will undoubtedly be approved by both the Planning and Zoning Boards. As applications become submitted and approved, the rezoning will become a reality, neighborhood by neighborhood.
