The Ridgefield Planning and Zoning Commission this week voted to change the zone use of some of the Schlumberger property. 10 acres of the land will be changed from non-retail business use to Multifamily dwelling Development District zoning.
The town recently purchased the 45 acre property with the intent of selling some of the land to a developer.
The new zoning regulations allow for 6 units per acre. A developer could build up to 8 units per acre if some of them are designated as affordable housing.
