NEW MILFORD — Loaves & Fishes Hospitality House has filed a new special permit application with New Milford Zoning Commission to construct a facility on Bridge Street.
The new application was filed March 27 after variances had been approved for the site by the Zoning Board of Appeals in February.
The pre-existing non-conforming structure that had serve Straub’s Plumbing for decades would be demolished and 15 parking spaces created in its space.
The existing 4-family residence on the front of the parcel would be reduced to three-family with the removal of the studio apartment in the building.
The newly constructed building would house a hospitality house, containing a kitchen, dining room, storage area, conference room and mechanical room on the ground floor and offices, conference room, laundry and restrooms on the main level.
Loaves & Fishes would relocate its existing program from the Richmond Citizens Center on the Village Green.
A public hearing date before Zoning still has to be set.
