Norwalk Planning Board Records Big Rezones and a Duplex Rebuff
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended rezoning 110 acres on the southside to allow apartments, a move seen as a potential city record development. It approved annexing and rezoning 145 acres for manufacturing east of town near the future Norwalk Furniture Corp. site. A 24 Newton St duplex was denied after neighbors argued the lot is in R-2, not R-3, with concerns over parking garbage and noise. Norwalk moves to City Council with these actions while also addressing a lack of zoning forms and forming a building code study committee.
