Correspondence

Most of the work of the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) is "quasi-judicial" - that is, like a court with judges, the PZC is required to hear all sides (testimony); to evaluate and weigh the credibility of evidence provided and the expertise of individuals providing testimony or evidence; and to make decisions based on state law and local regulations, supported by findings of fact, testimony, and evidence within the record; and to follow a specified process within certain timelines. Under Connecticut law, decisions of the PZC are subject to review/appeal at the Connecticut Superior Courts.

For this reason, all communication to/with Commissioners on matters pending before the Commission should be "on the record" - either at the public meeting/hearing, or else in writing to the entire Commission, sent via (c/o) staff. All correspondence to the Commission should be sent via email to [email protected]. In your subject line or start of letter, we suggest your clarify the message is "For Distribution to Commission". If your correspondence is related directly to a pending application, it will be uploaded to the digital/online file for that application. If you know the application number, or at least the property address, it is helpful to include in your subject line or start of letter.

Mailed letters should be addressed as follows:
