The Avon Planning and Zoning Commission approved a change to the layout of the master plan to build a new village center on Ensign Bickford land near town hall.
Six commissioners voted to approve the application from Carpionato Group, LLC and only one voted against it.
The commission reviewed the application to make the change to the 2012 master plan during a special meeting on Tuesday.
The village center is slated to go on land in the area of 16, 21, 65 and 70 Ensign Drive and 55 and 75 Bickford Drive and 65, 71 and 93 Simsbury Road, encompassing about 92.73 acres in total, according to the agenda.
The land is located in an Avon Village Center Zone on land owned by Ensign Bickford. The plan is for the new village center to be a walkable space consisting of residential units and retail stores.
