Battle Lines Drawn! Stamford Residents oppose the draft 2035 Comprehensive Plan:
Here's some highlights you may want to read
Encourages overdevelopment and increased density by effectively rezoning of single family neighborhoods into multifamily neighborhoods
Promotes commercial and large Accessory Dwelling Units with no off-street parking
Affects Glenbrook, Belltown, Springdale, the Cove, Bulls Head, Turn of River/Newfield, the West Side, North Stamford, Westover and the lower Ridges
Ignores input of single-family homeowners
Limits or deletes parking without adequate infrastructure assessments or improvements
Violates City Charter by allowing out of state consultants and non-stakeholders to prepare Plan, rather than Planning Board
Unrealistically prioritizes streets for bicycles, ignoring increased car traffic
Does not guarantee existence of new affordable housing.
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 and small commercial establishments 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.

Thank you for all your support in this very important decision for our neighborhoods!
Stamford needs MORE off street parking in residential areas. Especially on Shippan ave which has two Senior complexes. Family visits and care givers have no place to park! This is truly a problem that needs to be solved. Also, it's only a matter of time that someone will be critically injured or dead because of the speed limits not being adhered to on Shippan ave. The elderly and handicap use crosswalks to get to Cummings Park and beach. The outrages racing of cars and motorcycles is outrageous!
