Introductory paragraph summarizing the overall meeting. The Stamford Zoning Board met on March 28, 2023, at 6:30 PM via Zoom to hear several applications and text amendments. The meeting opened with an executive session on pending litigation, followed by public hearings on three major development proposals.

However, I would ask the applicant to please mute their mics when not speaking in order to reduce the background noise. After a um there's a one item on for the regular meeting, which is the first item we're hearing. Then we go into the public hearing, during which the public will have an opportunity to speak. Each member of the public will be muted until it is your turn to speak. And here's the procedure for members of the public who would like to speak. If you came through Zoom, please use the raise your hand function and you will be unmuted when it's your turn. Excuse me.
