Pittsford planners flag expiring zoning grant, request RRPC zoning contact
Summary
Commissioners noted a zoning bylaw grant that ends 12/31/25, reported turnover at RRPC staff responsible for zoning work, and requested that current RRPC zoning staff be invited to the next meeting to begin updates constrained by the Town Plan approval process.
Commissioners discussed two separate grants: one for the Energy Plan and another for zoning bylaws work that expires on Dec. 31, 2025. Members noted that Logan Solomon is no longer with the RRPC and requested identification of the current RRPC staff handling zoning so that person can be invited to the next Planning Commission meeting to begin updates.
The commission also discussed sequencing constraints: the Town Plan must be approved before zoning changes can be finalized. Commissioners asked that any state-mandated requirements be footnoted in drafts, and suggested focusing on minimal, prioritized zoning changes to reduce the need for variances while staffing and statutory questions are clarified.
Next steps: Donna Wilson will confirm who is handling zoning work at RRPC; the commission recommended inviting that person to the next meeting and prioritizing minimal initial changes ahead of the grant deadline.
