The Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission convened on March 25, 2025, to discuss significant developments affecting local land use and community planning. The meeting highlighted two primary applications that could reshape parts of the town.

The first major item on the agenda was a final resubdivision application from S2 Inc. LLC concerning the Indian Spring Subdivision. The proposal involved adjustments to Lot 1, which would increase from approximately 2.53 acres to 2.89 acres, while Lot 8 would decrease from about 5.53 acres to 5.17 acres. This consolidation would merge Lot 8 with adjacent properties, resulting in a total of 22.14 acres across the consolidated lots. The Conservation Commission confirmed that these changes would not affect open space or require construction, allowing existing lots to remain compliant with the PA 490 program, which mandates a minimum of 25 acres for eligibility. The commission unanimously approved the motion, indicating a streamlined approach to land management without significant environmental impact.

The second application discussed was from the Greenwich Country Club Inc., seeking approval for a final site plan and special permit to construct two new padel courts on a 48-acre property at 19 Dublin Road. The proposal received favorable reviews from various departments, including the Department of Public Works and the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency, which noted that the project would adhere to stormwater management requirements. The commission emphasized the importance of tree protection, particularly for a significant 32-inch oak tree on the site, and required the applicant to implement a tree protection plan. Additionally, the applicant was tasked with ensuring compliance with the town's noise ordinance, which the project reportedly met.

Both applications reflect ongoing efforts to balance development with environmental stewardship in Greenwich. The commission's decisions indicate a commitment to maintaining community standards while accommodating growth and recreational opportunities. As these projects move forward, they will likely influence local land use patterns and community engagement in the coming months.
