Project Summary & October 1st Public Hearing on Draft Zoning Code & Zoning Map
The Town approved a scope of services with SEH (Short Elliot Hendrickson) in the summer of 2023 to update the Zoning Code. The update will introduce mixed use options in the 5 Corners Town Center to modernize the code, and make updates so the Zoning Code is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning Code is the backbone of Town land use and daily implementation.
2024 Open House: The Plan Commission held an Open House for viewing of the progress on the Zoning Code update on April 29, 2024. The Open House followed two workshop visioning sessions held in late 2023 with the Town Board, and reviews by the Plan Commission at their February and March meetings. The Open House featured the existing Zoning Map, draft proposed Zoning Map, along with a detailed list of land uses broken down by zoning district that would be proposed to be allowed as principal uses and conditional uses. Staff from SEH presented a summary of the work to date, which primarily addresses the Town Center and business districts, took questions and comments, and provided comment cards. The Town also mailed out notices to property owners affected by the Zoning Code update, and published a notice in the News Graphic.
The Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the Town's Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map on October 1st at 7:00pm. The proposed amendment would replace/update the Town's existing zoning ordinance, regulations and Zoning Map as an exhibit/incorporated document and would change the zoning classification of certain properties within the Town as shown on the Zoning Map exhibit/incorporated document. There will be an Open House at 6pm to view the existing Zoning Map, draft proposed Zoning Map, along with the draft Zoning Code text and ordinance. The consulting planner will be on hand to take questions. The Plan Commission will receive public comment at the Public Hearing to be held at 7pm. A quorum of Town Board, Plan Commission, or other Town Committees/Commissions may be present at the public hearing. However, no official action to adopt the Zoning Code update and Zoning Map by the Town Board will be taken at this meeting.
