The City of Ridgefield has been working through Envision Ridgefield 2045, a process to update Ridgefield’s Comprehensive Plan. As part of this process, we are planning for current and future housing for our community.

Comprehensive plans are composed of multiple chapters, known as “elements,” that each focus on citywide topics like housing, transportation, the environment, public utilities, and more. The housing element must contain goals and policies that plan for and accommodate housing affordable to all economic segments, reconcile future housing needs with land capacity within the Urban Growth Area (UGA), identify and address barriers to the construction of needed housing, and identify and address regulations that result in racially disparate impacts, displacement and exclusion.

Housing Allocation

Ridgefield must accommodate 4,136 new moderate density and 1,679 new low density residential units by 2045.

Fall 2025 Open House
On Tuesday, September 16, we hosted an Open House to gather feedback on the draft goals, policies, and strategies for each element of Envision Ridgefield 2045. About 45 of your neighbors joined us in person to share their thoughts, but we want to hear from as many people as possible.

If you weren’t able to attend—or if you’d like to provide additional input—you can now participate in the Open House online! Your feedback is vital to shaping the future of our community.

Online Open House - Open until Sunday, October 19
