Planning director presents parcel-level analysis; recommends clarifying setbacks and district simplification
Summary
Planning Director Hallie Abuayyash presented a Windsor-specific GIS analysis that added water and sewer layers and highlighted proposed changes to dimensional standards, setbacks, district classifications, PUD treatment, and density/height/lot-size rules.
Planning Director Hallie Abuayyash presented an in‑depth, parcel-level analysis of existing zoning dimensional standards and nonconformities, noting that the analysis added the water and sewer layer to Windsor’s GIS dataset. The presentation identified several areas for revision, including clarification of how setbacks are measured from lot lines, simplification of zoning district classifications, and tailored standards for resource and rural districts.
Abuayyash also outlined possible adjustments to Planned Unit Development treatment, density, height, and lot size thresholds to better align regulations with existing development patterns and public safety concerns. Commissioners discussed the dataset and the implications of proposed measurement clarifications; staff said the analysis will inform draft bylaw language to be released for public review in advance of a warned hearing.
