Ridgefield approves new affordable housing rule

RIDGEFIELD — Zoning officials have approved a regualation they hope will spur enough affordable housing to discourage the use of state statute 8-30g, which often allows developers to skirt local zoning rules. The regulation, which faced its third hearing Tuesday, offers incentives to affordable housing developers if they comply with local zoning rules instead of invoking 8-30g, which only lets the town deny applications because of health or safety. It was crafted over the last four years to prepare for October, when Ridgefield’s four-year moratorium against 8-30g applications is set to expire.
