The Danbury Planning Commission is holding a public hearing tonight on a proposed development on Newtown Road.  The Planning Commission is meeting to discuss special exceptions.  Those are for a medical facility, a drive-thru and the anticipated trip generation from the three buildings planned for the former car dealership site next to Stop & Shop. 

SG Newtown Road Partners LLC has proposed the plans to spread to what is currently part of the Holiday Inn property as well.  One 7,500 square foot building is proposed to be a Texas Roadhouse restaurant.  The closest Texas Roadhouse restaurants are in Waterbury, West Haven & New Rochelle. 

A 3,100 square feet Hardee's with a drive thru is also proposed.  Hardee's has several locations, none in Connecticut, but in the PA, DE, DC area.

A 12,000 square foot multi office building with retail, medical, a salon and restaurant is also proposed.  The multi-use building is proposed to have an auto store, Aspen Dental, and a Jersey Mikes sub shop, which are already in Brookfield and Ridgefield.

Tonight's public hearing on the special exceptions is being held at 7:30 at Danbury City Hall.
