The five-acre site, currently zoned for single-family homes, would be reclassified to allow higher-density multifamily ​housing.

ENFIELD, CT — The Town of Enfield has received an application to rezone several riverfront parcels to allow for a 160-unit housing complex, according to documents on the town's website.

The proposed five-story residential building along South River Street would have a riverwalk path and over 171 parking spaces, according to plans filed online. The developer seeking the zoning change, South River Realty, is based in Massachusetts.

The five-acre site, currently zoned for single-family homes, would be reclassified to allow higher-density multifamily housing. If approved, a subsequent site-plan approval application would be required.
