Commission backs code allowing one‑time reconstruction of downtown nonconforming buildings, with conditions

Planning commissioners recommended that the town council adopt changes to chapter 10‑21 that would allow reconstruction of non‑conforming buildings in the central and village commercial zones provided the properties are brought into compliance with other applicable standards. Staff said the goal is to retain downtown vitality and special character while recognizing many small downtown buildings are non‑conforming with setbacks and building size rules.
