Board affirms Milton, Hinesburg and St. George plans and confirms each town’s planning process
Summary
The board approved municipal plan submissions for Milton, Hinesburg and St. George on April 15, confirming local planning processes and granting Hinesburg an affirmative determination of energy compliance for its enhanced energy plan.
The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission approved three municipal plans and confirmed the respective planning processes at its April 15 meeting.
Actions taken: the board approved Milton’s town plan and confirmed that Milton followed required planning procedures; the board approved Hinesburg’s town plan and granted an affirmative determination of energy compliance for Hinesburg’s enhanced energy plan; and the board approved and confirmed St. George’s town plan and planning process. Each vote was moved, seconded and carried by the board.
Why it matters: regional confirmation is part of the statutory planning process; an affirmative determination of energy compliance certifies that a municipal enhanced energy plan meets statewide planning requirements for energy content and supports downstream permitting and coordination.
Next steps: staff will record these approvals and update the regional plan inventory; relevant municipalities may now proceed with actions that depend on regional confirmation.
