Commission reviews Land Use Reform training; notes Williamstown lacks zoning for certain Act 250 exemptions
Summary
Commissioners heard that a Land Use Reform training covered Home Act 47, Act 181 (Act 250 revisions) and Act 121 (Flood Safety Act); Rich Turner said Williamstown "wouldn't qualify" for long-term Act 250 exemptions because the town has no zoning.
Commissioners discussed a Land Use Reform training presented by Niki Sabado and Will Pitkin that covered recent statutory changes affecting municipal planning. Rich Turner summarized the presentation and flagged three items covered: Home Act 47 (residential issues), Act 181 (revisions to Act 250) and Act 121 (flood safety).
Turner said the training addressed long-term Act 250 exemptions and tiers of eligibility; he noted Williamstown "wouldn't qualify for that because we have No Zoning." The commission discussed municipal plan review requirements and the 3-step process Turner described: plan approval, approval of the planning process, then final town plan resolution. No formal action was taken; the item was informational and intended to guide future plan work.
