Commissioners Approve Three Applications for Residential and Commercial Developments

The Shelton City Council meeting on August 14, 2025, focused on several key applications related to residential and commercial development in the city. The council approved an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) application and set public hearings for multiple new projects.

The meeting began with a motion from Commissioner Cristiano to approve application 2509 for an ADU, which was seconded by Commissioner Apple. The motion passed unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0, indicating strong support for the initiative.

Following this, the council moved on to new business, where they addressed three significant applications. The first was application 2515 from J and L Enterprise LLC, proposing a four-story, 57-unit multifamily residential building at 74 Todd Road. The second application, 2516 from Dominic Thomas for CTO 3 LLC, sought to modify an existing planned development district (PDD) at 1001 Bridgeport Avenue to convert a hotel into a multifamily residential use with a maximum of 96 units. The third application, 2517 from Robert Polito for TJ Donahue, aimed to amend the permitted uses in the LIP District to allow nonresidential childcare facilities via a special exception.

Commissioner Castellan made a motion to accept and set public hearings for these three applications, which was seconded and also passed with a unanimous vote of 6 to 0.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on application 2518, concerning final site development plans for mixed-use commercial development at 0 Bridgeport Avenue and 48 Long Hill Crossroads. The council is expected to continue deliberations on this application in future meetings.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to advancing residential and commercial development in Shelton, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance the community's infrastructure and services.
