The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission last week approved a zone change, and master and site plans submitted by Pacifica Connect LLC to redevelop the existing nursing home building at 55 Tunxis Ave., which has been vacant since 2016, into a multi-family housing community. Pacifica, based in San Diego, Calif., received several other town approvals in recent months. Pacifica, which acquired the building in a foreclosure sale for an undisclosed sum in May 2018, could not be reached for comment on how much the development would cost, or when it plans to break ground at the site. The building debuted as a nursing home in 1966 before the operator of Alexandria Manor, Cheshire-based Affinity Healthcare Management, filed for bankruptcy in 2016 and closed the facility and others shortly after.
