“What we see right now in the Route 6 zoning district is an approach where every individual developer comes to you and says, ‘We need this one or two small tweaks to the regulations to make our development work for us,’” he said.
#TEXT TWIST 2 ZONE HOW TO#
Olson said a lot of thought into how to accomplish a streamlined process for Stony Hill Mixed Use Overlay Districts. There would be land size, frontage and other requirements for utilization of a Stony Hill Mixed Use Overlay District, including that the proposed developments are in accordance with the town’s comprehensive plan. For parcels at least five acres in size, up to 20 units per acre would be allowed within the proposed zoning change, compared to 10 units currently permitted in the Route 6 zone.Įach zone proposed would be an independent overlay zoning district, created with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval, in order to accomplish a specific purpose.Īttorney Peter Olson said the text amendment would provide a “floating zone” option for applicants looking to develop large parcels in the Route 6 district, and each overlay district would apply an additional layer of regulations and authorized uses in supplementation of the underlying Route 6 zone requirements and provisions.Įach would have “unique and narrowly drawn permitted uses, bulk and dimensional standards and other applicable zoning provisions” in order to “accommodate unique and desirable development that is consistent with the long range, orderly development of Route 6 but that may not be accommodated by the established zoning of the area,” according to the proposed text amendment.īoth commercial and multi-family residential dwellings would be permitted in Stony Hill Mixed Use Overlay Districts as long as they are in locations deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
