Our Town does not currently have a regulation that governs these rentals. The Committee is considering the matter, and is asking the Waterford community for feedback.

As part of Public Act 17-170, the Connecticut Legislature established a requirement that every municipality in Connecticut prepare and adopt an "affordable housing plan" by June 1, 2022 and update the plan every five years thereafter (Section 8-30j of the Connecticut General Statutes). The legislation requires that the plan "shall specify how the municipality intends to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality." The Planning and Zoning Commission led this project in partnership with consulting firm Planimetrics. The Waterford Affordable Housing Plan was adopted on May 10, 2022.
