Planning commission outlines timeline for zoning bylaw amendments; draft expected by March
Summary
During public comment the commission said zoning bylaw amendments are focused on conforming to new state law; a draft is expected by March and will be released for public review before a warned hearing.
A resident raised questions during public comment about how the current zoning bylaw amendments differ from prior Act 250-related processes and when draft materials would be available for review. The chair and staff explained the current effort is focused specifically on zoning bylaw amendments to achieve conformity with recent state legislation and said a draft is anticipated by March, followed by at least one duly warned public hearing and public access to draft materials through meeting packets.
Planning Director Hallie Abuayyash and the chair answered procedural questions about public review and noted that the commission intends to circulate drafts for community review before any adoption. David Harvey asked for clarity on timelines and the differences from past processes; the commission’s response prioritized statutory conformity and an inclusive review and hearing process.
