Commission signals changes to UDO use table: permitting duplexes/triplexes and changes for microbrewery/retail C3 entries
Summary
During the HEA 1001 hearing staff and commissioners agreed to convert certain special exceptions to permitted uses (duplex/triplex/quadplex in the TR district; microbrewery without retail/tasting in C3; retail high‑intensity in C3) and to carry those edits forward to the Town Council.
Commissioners discussed several use‑table edits while auditing the UDO against HEA 1001. They agreed to change duplex, triplex and quadplex in the TR district from special exceptions to permitted uses to better align with the state's housing goals. The commission also agreed to change the C3 designations so that microbreweries without tasting/retail components and retail high‑intensity uses are permitted where appropriate, and to keep other constraints (such as proximity to schools) in place where applicable.
Commissioners emphasized the importance of nuanced application—several members said they supported permitting some uses in appropriate zones while retaining review for potentially sensitive locations. Staff said the red lines will be prepared for council consideration with the commission's recommended edits.
