Enfield Developer Seeks Zoning Change for Senior Living Units
A developer in Enfield is advocating for zoning changes to transform a housing project into senior living units. Mannarino Builders aims to rezone land at 242 Brainard Road for Stonebridge Commons, a forty-two-unit community exclusively for older adults. The site was initially approved for multifamily detached homes, with the first phase nearing completion.
The shift is driven by robust local demand for senior housing options. Instead of general multifamily rentals, the homes would now cater to residents over fifty-five. This involves transitioning back to a Residential forty-four zone from the current Multi-Family district.
Town planning staff have assessed the plan and found it would have minimal impact on traffic, the environment, or local services. They view it as a simple adjustment that aligns with community needs without significant disruptions.
The proposal also includes updates to the towns senior housing rules and a special permit to proceed. Officials anticipate these adjustments will facilitate the age-restricted setup seamlessly.
The Planning and Zoning Commission initiated a public hearing on the idea on February twenty-sixth, with the plan to resume discussions at their next meeting on March twelfth.
