READCO of Old Lyme is proposing to turn the former Hoyt’s/Regal Cinema on Route 2 into a recreational center for pickleball as well as constructing four buildings with 124 apartments and 10,000 feet of commercial space on the remainder of the site. The Old Lyme-based firm is slated to present its design plan to the Architectural Design Review Board on Monday at 6 p.m. at Pawcatuck Middle School. The board will only review the design and appearance of the buildings and make a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Formal approval of the estimated $25 million project is up to the Planning and Zoning Commission, which will schedule a public hearing in the coming months on READCO’s application for a zone change to Neighborhood Design District as well as approval of a master plan and site plan.
