The big picture

Every property on POMFRET ST would be rezoned to allow up to 3 units, no parking required.

These 15 properties currently have different zoning (8 are single-family only, 7 are single-family only (larger lots)) but would all move to the same proposed rules.

What does this actually mean?

Each property owner could choose to add units — up to 3 total per lot

15 of 15 properties on POMFRET ST could go from single-family to up to 3 units. If every eligible owner chose to maximize, that's 30 additional units — but this is an upper bound, not a prediction. No one is required to add anything. Today, most of these lots allow only a single-family dwelling.

Off-street parking would no longer be required for 7 properties

Today, these 7 properties must provide 14 off-street parking spaces (2 each). The proposal removes this requirement — but it does NOT mean driveways disappear. Property owners can keep their existing parking; they just wouldn't need to provide spaces for any new construction. Street parking is a separate city policy and is not affected.

Buildings could be placed closer to property lines

The front setback from 20' to 12' and rear setback from 30' to 10' would change. This means future construction could use more of the lot. Existing buildings that already meet today's rules are unaffected — this only applies to new construction or major renovations.
