Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-30g
Connecticut's affordable housing land use appeals procedure. In a municipality where less than ten percent of dwelling units qualify as affordable (assisted, CHFA-financed, or deed-restricted) and that is not within a moratorium, an applicant whose affordable housing application is denied, or approved with restrictions that substantially impair the development's viability or affordability, may appeal to Superior Court, where the burden shifts to the commission to prove its decision was necessary to protect substantial public interests in health, safety or other matters it may legally consider, that those interests clearly outweigh the need for affordable housing, and that they cannot be protected by reasonable changes to the development. The statute defines 'affordable housing development' and 'set-aside development' (at least 30% of units deed-restricted as affordable for at least 40 years), requires an affordability plan with long-term deed restrictions, and sets out the 10% exemption and four-/five-year moratorium framework.
