Staff reports zoning bylaw revisions; Commission aims to warn public hearing in March
Summary
Planning staff updated the Commission on zoning bylaw edits including dimensional standards, updated definitions aligned with state statutes, lot coverage clarifications, river corridor language, and alignment with new state housing requirements; additional internal review was requested before warning a hearing, with a tentative target of late March or early April.
Hallie Abuayyash, Director of Planning & Development, summarized revisions to the draft zoning bylaw amendments: updated dimensional standards; revised definitions aligned with state statutes; clarified lot coverage and building coverage; added river corridor terminology; and general conformity with new state housing requirements. Staff and commissioners agreed further internal review is needed before bringing the draft forward for a warned public hearing.
Commissioners discussed timing for the public hearing and compliance with notice rules. The Commission agreed to continue review and to aim for a formal vote to warn a public hearing in March, pending completion of internal edits and statutory notice steps.
