Stamford Zoning Board says no to medical clinic near residential area

A contentious proposal to build a 7,000-square-foot medical clinic near single-family homes was denied by the Stamford Zoning Board during a heated public meeting. Ahuja Holdings’ request to amend zoning regulations to build the High Ridge Road clinic drew opposition from residents concerned about overdevelopment in the area, including 600 who signed a petition against the proposal. Ahuja also has a second clinic application filed, requesting a special exception to build an outpatient clinic for patients with acute and chronic medical conditions. The board will hear that application at a later date. [Stamford Advocate]
