Planning Commission
View Board Members
The Planning Commission was established in 1956 by a Town Meeting vote due to growing concerns about land use as development increased in Redding. The Commission is responsible for creating and regulating subdivisions and approving referrals from adjacent towns, regional agencies, the State DOT, the Water Pollution Control Commission, the Board of Selectmen, and the Zoning Commission.
Members of the Planning Commission are elected Town officials, while alternates are appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
Every ten years, as required by Connecticut General Statutes, the Planning Commission prepares the Town Plan of Conservation and Development, outlining the future development of the Town. The Open Space Plan, included within this document, is written by the Conservation Commission. The 2018 Town of Redding Plan of Conservation and Development is available for download on this website.
This Plan serves as a general guide for all land use commissions and articulates the ideals that will safeguard the character of Redding as the Town undergoes inevitable changes over time. A link to the 2018 Plan is provided in the important links at the bottom of this page.
By authority of Connecticut General Statute, Section 7-149a and Town Ordinance adopted on 1/17/86, the Planning Commission is empowered to designate Redding roads or portions thereof as “Scenic Roads.” Alterations to Scenic Roads may only be made by application to the Planning Commission.
Subdivision regulations and application forms are available at the Land Use Office in the Old Town House, located at 23 Cross Highway in Redding.
