We have seen over the years issues with various development in the town. Regardless of one's position on any particular development in the last Comprehensive Plan adopted by the Town provided for a number of action items for the Town to take. When is the Town going to take action on these action items (below is a sample of the action items):

  • Review and update the Town Zoning Code to improve building and site design controls, sign regulations, and enforcement
  • Review and revise the Town Zoning Code to permit and encourage the use of green infrastructure, natural stormwater management, and environmentally sustainable development practices.
  • Review and revise the Town Zoning Code to permit and encourage the use of green infrastructure, natural stormwater management, and environmentally sustainable development practices.
  • Review and revise the Town Zoning Code to permit and encourage the use of green infrastructure, natural stormwater management, and environmentally sustainable development practices.
  • Review and revise the Town Zoning Code to permit upper-floor residential units where desirable and appropriate.
  • Incorporate mixed-use development permissions and regulations in the zoning code where appropriate.
  • Review the current cluster development zoning regulations and determine when and where they may be best utilized.
  • Review and revise the Zoning Code for improved access management provisions that focus on the major thoroughfares.
  • Draft and adopt purpose statements for the districts listed in the Zoning Code.
  • Develop overlay zoning districts or design standards to help achieve the desired character within priority development areas.
  • conduct a complete review and revision of the Town Zoning Code, originally drafted in 1963, to ensure consistency with modern development practices and the regulatory recommendations that have surfaced as part of this planning process and that of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan.
