Weybridge Planning Commission flags housing goal and possible zoning changes to increase density
Summary
Commissioners signaled that housing goals in the Town Plan will likely include zoning changes to increase density, citing ACRPC boilerplate and a stated State goal to increase housing stock 20% by 2030; final language will be tailored to Weybridge.
Housing emerged as a substantive Town Plan topic at the Weybridge Planning Commission’s May 12 meeting, with commissioners considering regulatory changes to support more housing.
Jeff Olson said housing goals and implementation would likely include changes to the Zoning Regulations to increase housing densities in most districts. He said the Addison County Regional Planning Commission will provide boilerplate language, including a State goal of increasing housing stock 20% by 2030, that the commission will edit to suit local needs and situational realities.
Commissioners emphasized the need to adapt any regional or state model language to Weybridge’s context rather than adopting it verbatim. The commission will review survey results and ACRPC guidance before recommending specific zoning amendments for public hearings or inclusion in the 2027 regulatory revision process.
