The owners of the Danbury Mall are now seeking to rezone 7 pieces of property on Backus Avenue adding up to 116 acres from General Commercial use to Mixed Use Regional Mall designation. If the zoning change is approved by the city, it would allow residential development there. The request is pending. While the 7 parcels included in that request add up to 116.29 acres, the total area requested to be rezoned totals 119.84 acres.
