AFFORDABLE HOUSING

摘要

The Connecticut Court of Appeals ruled in Autumn View, LLC v. Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of East Haven, — A.3d-, 193 Conn. App. 18, 2019 WL 4581409, AC 41220 (Ct. App. Ct. Sept. 24, 2019) that a state statute governing the denial hy zoning boards of appeal of applications for zoning changes related to affordable housing development projects established a burden of proof requirement for the zoning boards on appeal, which consists of the presence of some evidence in the record showing that the denial is due to public health or safety concerns which outweigh the need for affordable housing.
