Bedford staff walks commissioners through Module 1 of proposed zoning ordinance; ADUs, overlays and limited uses among topics
Summary
At a Nov. 13 workshop, Bedford planning staff reviewed Module 1 of a proposed zoning ordinance—covering authority, new zoning districts, overlays, accessory dwelling units, limited uses (including vape store spacing set to 1,000 ft), and new uses such as build‑to‑rent and food truck courts. Staff scheduled Module 2 review for Jan. 14–15.
Planning staff led a workshop review of Module 1 of the City of Bedford’s proposed zoning ordinance on Nov. 13, briefing commissioners on chapters covering authority, zoning districts, and the land‑use chart and soliciting direction on several policy choices.
Staff said Chapter 1 addresses authority, effective dates and transitional rules; Chapter 2 establishes new zoning districts and bulk regulations; Chapter 3 contains the land‑use charts that control where uses are allowed. The presenter emphasized that some overlay design standards (for example, the Master Highway Corridor overlay) may be replaced by citywide design standards in a later module.
