The Bethel Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing tonight on an application for affordable housing on Whitney Road.  The meeting is at 7pm in Conference Room D of the Municipal Center.  A couple is seeking a zone change to the Transit Oriented Development Overlay zone for 32 one-bedroom units and associated site improvements.  The 1.7-acre lot has served as a contractor’s yard for the last three decades.  Bethel’s zoning regulations require 20 percent of planned residential development in the TOD zone to be considered affordable, so six of the units proposed for 17 Whitney Road would be affordable. The public may send comments via regular mail and email to landuse@bethelct.gov.
