New 2008 Plan of Conservation & Development (POCD)
We need your help! What is important to you about Greenwich?? Over development and House size, affordable housing, open space, traffic and parking, the downtown, drainage and runoff, tree preservation, preservation of historic buildings, recreational facilities???
State Statutes require communities to review, develop and update their plans of Conservation and Development every ten years. Greenwich's last plan of 1998 is now being updated and reviewed to meet that requirement. Developing a new 2008 Plan of Conservation and Development involves an intensive visionary process that requires public input on problems and issues affecting Greenwich today and the direction the town should take over the next ten years. P&Z is developing this plan by holding a series of public workshops and meetings within various neighborhoods as well as town wide meetings on topics such as Conservation, Development and Infrastructure.
Over the next year the Planning and Zoning Commission will meet regularly with our consultant Planimetrics, Town officials and staff, and interested town organizations and citizens to review, discuss, and refine the data and recommendations that will be included in the Plan. Our meetings for citizen input will continue thru December and by late Spring 2008 the goal is to have a draft document available for public review and comment.
It is anticipated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will hold public hearings in the fall of 2008 on the adoption of the draft of the new 2008 Plan of Conservation and Development which then will go to the RTM by the end of 2008 for their review and approval.
Please attend as many meetings as possible. Your opinions are vital!!! Please check our Planning and Zoning Website regularly for meeting topics, locations and times. Our P&Z website will be constantly updated with data and chapters from the public workshops and meetings to help you keep informed on the progress and processes. If you have any questions, please correspond on line or call our offices at 622-7894.
