Laurence Bradley, Westport Planning & Zoning Director announced today that on February 27, 2014, the Planning & Zoning Commission is scheduled to review two text amendments (Amendment #669 and Amendment #672) to the Westport Zoning Regulations.

Amendment #669 (Application #13-065) was submitted by Karen Johnson on behalf of DC Kemper- Gunn, LLC to modify the zoning regulations to allow for the relocation of historic buildings in the Business Center District/Historic (BCD/H Zone).

Amendment #672 (Application #14-007) was submitted by the Planning & Zoning Commission to limit the size of commercial tenant spaces in the Business Center District (BCD Zone) and the Business Center District/Historic (BCD/H Zone) to no more than 10,000 square feet.
