East Windsor zoning commission adopts 2026-2036 town plan, approves two South Main Street car dealerships

EAST WINDSOR - The East Windsor Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 on Oct. 27 to adopt the town's 2026-2036 Plan of Conservation and Development, effective Nov. 12, according to the commission's draft meeting motions posted on the town's Agenda Center.

Before the vote, the commission closed the public hearing it had continued from Oct. 13. Town Planner Ruth Calabrese reviewed edits made since then, including neighborhood names, an updated PA 490 map and a new utilities map, the minutes say.

The commission also voted 4-0 to approve two used car dealership projects on South Main Street: a 4,000-square-foot building at No. 122 and two 9,360-square-foot buildings at No. 138, each with conditions. It gave the selectmen a positive referral on using open space funds to help preserve 41 acres of farmland.

Two of the five regular members were absent, and an alternate voted. A church permit request on Prospect Hill Road was tabled to Nov. 24. The minutes are a draft until the commission approves them.
