Crew Readies Inclusionary Zoning Push
Tucked away on the fifth floor of City Hall, three Harvard graduate school students are wrapping up a special mission: to help the new mayoral administration launch a quick affordable-housing plan amidst the current market-rate construction boom.
The Harvard Kennedy School students, Peggy Moriarty, Lauren Lombardo, and Ian Cutler, have taken a break from their formal classroom studies in Cambridge for the past week and a half to intern with New Haven's City Plan department.
Under the supervision of City Plan Director Aïcha Woods and Deputy Director of Zoning Jenna Montesano, the three public policy graduate students have focused their attentions on the city's prospective new inclusionary zoning ordinance: A municipal law that would require private housing developers to set aside a certain percentage of apartments in new complexes at affordable rates.

East Haven Quality Inn to Be Replaced by Home2 Suites by Hilton
The owner of the Quality Inn East Haven-New Haven hotel at 30 Frontage Road plans to knock down the two-story, 80-room hotel and replace it with a more upscale, four-story, 107-room Home 2 Suites by Hilton.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the owner's site plan application Wednesday night, after having modified the zoning to accommodate the application last year.
"What we're proposing to do is demolish the existing building and build a higher-level hotel," Jim Cassidy, a professional engineer hired by CT Hotel Group LLC, told the commission.
The new hotel would be 15,560 square feet, with a new enclosed pool replacing the existing outdoor one. The new hotel also would have upgraded landscaping, designed to more stringent Hilton standards, and 111 parking spaces, up from the current 90, Cassidy said. Read More

360 State Builder Buys IKEA Hotel Site
Plans to transform the historic Pirelli Building on Sargent Drive into a hotel have moved forward, as a local developer has purchased the property from IKEA for $1.2 million.
The developer, Bruce Becker, purchased the 2.76-acre property at 500 Sargent Drive on Dec. 31. The deed was recorded in city land records Friday.
The property, adjacent to IKEA's furniture store, contains the vacant Pirelli building. The iconic Marcel Breuer-designed Brutalist building, which was constructed in 1968, has long sat vacant in a sea of parking lots off of Sargent Drive, serving as little more than a highway-facing billboard for IKEA's latest home furnishings.
