After years of arduous negotiations and frequent setbacks, a Branford developer has finally gotten the go-ahead for a 55-and-older housing project at the site of a former Girl Scout camp. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the application for a 378-unit housing complex on Sperry Lane and Foxon Boulevard, ending a seven-year saga over plans submitted by Bluffs LLC developer Mark DiLungo. In addition to accommodating older residents, the project also will increase the town’s availability of affordable housing, as the developer has agreed that 39 of the 258 non-assisted units — or 15 percent — would be deemed “affordable housing units” as defined by state law. The project has gone through several iterations since DiLungo first proposed the project in 2016. The PZC denied the application multiple times, and DiLungo eventually appealed the board’s ruling in Superior Court. A stipulated agreement from a Superior Court judge laid the groundwork for the current version of the housing project.
