Summary

CCRPC staff reviewed Milton’s amended town plan adding an East Milton Transition Subarea; staff noted the area lacks sewer and will allow limited compact development at low densities; PAC raised no objections and staff will send the consistency letter.

Darren Schibler, Senior Planner, reviewed the Town of Milton’s recent town plan amendment. The amendment adds new data on aging and creates an East Milton Transition Subarea — a residential designation on the northeast side of Milton’s downtown. Schibler noted the area lacks municipal sewer (it has water only) and residential densities will remain low, under one dwelling per acre.

Staff said Milton’s Planning Commission proposed the subarea after receiving zoning-change requests and concluded the area could support more housing than current zoning allows while remaining distinct from rural areas and limiting overall density. PAC members had no comments or concerns; staff will issue the regional consistency letter the following day.
