Fayston PC reviews statutory LUR amendment process, schedules public review
Summary
Chair Langford Davidson outlined the state-required steps to amend the Land Use Regulations, including creating a PC report (24 V.S.A. §4441), 15‑day public warning, circulation to neighboring commissions and state housing agency, and Selectboard review; the commission targeted July 14 for public review.
Chair Langford Davidson presented the statutory process the Planning Commission will follow to amend the town's Land Use Regulations, describing document preparation, public notice requirements and agency circulation. He told the commission the PC must prepare a report under 24 V.S.A. §4441, publish a notice at least 15 days before any public hearing, and send the draft to neighboring planning commissions and to state housing staff (noted in the record as VT DHCD). The commission confirmed that the July meeting will include public review of the draft amendments.
Davidson's outline traced the procedural steps: public review at the July meeting, incorporation of comments, referral to the Selectboard for review and warning of the Selectboard's public hearing, and return to the PC if further edits are required. The commission set a target date of July 14, 2025 for the Planning Commission’s public review and noted the Selectboard will hold its own warning period per statute before any enactment. The PC will prepare a report and circulate the red-line draft as part of that process.
