The Town of Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commission on May 27 approved a final coastal site plan and special permit for TPF Homebuilders LLC to consolidate six parcels totaling about 1.8484 acres and develop 18 rental dwelling units, including four deed‑restricted affordable units.
The approval authorizes consolidating addresses at 368, 376 and 382 Davis Avenue and 8 Home Place and 18–20 Home Place into a single lot, building nine residential structures and renovating two existing homes. The commission’s resolution finds the project consistent with the Connecticut Coastal Management Act (CCMA) with recommended modifications and best management practices for stormwater and erosion control.
Why it matters: The project is designed to qualify as “assisted housing” under Connecticut General Statutes section 8‑30g and has a conditional commitment from the Town of Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The four units to be designated as affordable will be deed‑restricted for 40 years and limited to households at or below 80% of the applicable area median income (or 150% of the state median, per the applicant’s submission).
Key conditions and technical findings: The commission’s decision requires that a final declaration of restrictions and an affordability plan be reviewed and approved by the town law department and the PNZ housing specialist and recorded in the Greenwich land records before issuance of any zoning or building permits. Staff and departmental comments on stormwater, sewer and other infrastructure must be addressed prior to permit issuance.
During discussion commissioners noted: Aquarian Water Company confirmed supply and estimated average daily demand (1,875 gallons) and maximum daily demand (3,750 gallons), and the fire marshal required installation of an additional hydrant on Home Place to serve existing and proposed homes. DPW sewer review (with consultant CDM Smith) estimated an average daily flow increase of roughly 2,240 gallons per day and recommended follow‑up CCTV inspection and possible localized sewer rehabilitation depending on the investigation results.
Traffic and environmental review: Traffic analyses projected only a small increase in peak vehicle trips and found no material safety impacts; town traffic consultants and DPW recommended some pedestrian/bicycle safety measures near the Davis Avenue/Home Place intersection. Conservation staff and consultants recorded concerns about tree removal; the applicant’s revised planting plan proposes preserving 14 existing trees, removing 27, and adding 68 new trees, with a focus on native plantings near the shoreline.
Commission action: After a motion and a second, the commission voted to approve the final coastal site plan and special permit with the stated conditions. The vote passed by the commission with a 5–0 tally.
Next steps: The applicant must record the approved affordability documents, complete required technical investigations (sewer CCTV, any required sewer repairs), finalize the phasing plan and file any remaining materials for staff review before zoning and building permits are issued.
