Proposed Bylaws
NOTICE
of WAITSFIELD PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARINGS
To Consider Proposed Amendments
To The Waitsfield Zoning Bylaws
Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 7:15 and 7:30 p.m.
Waitsfield Town Office
Limited Business
District
The Waitsfield Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on
February 16, 2010, 7:15 pm, at the Waitsfield Town Office to receive
comments on a proposed amendment to the Waitsfield Zoning Bylaw
to add "Mixed Use" as a conditional use within the Limited
Business (LB) District under Table 2.05 of the Waitsfield Zoning
Bylaw. The proposed amendment may affect property owners,
businesses and residents within the Limited Business District, as
shown on the Official Waitsfield Zoning Map.
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to provide additional options
for the use of properties within the district by allowing a mix
of uses within a single structure or on a single lot. A mixed
use would be subject to conditional review and approval under Section
5.03 (Conditional Use Review) and Section 4.07 (Mixed Uses) of the
bylaw. The proposed amendment will not affect the types or
densities of development currently allowed within the district,
or planned community facilities and services that serve the district.
Flood & Fluvial Erosion Hazard Areas
The Waitsfield Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on
February 16, 2010, 7:30 pm, at the Waitsfield Town Office to receive
comments on proposed flood and fluvial erosion hazard area amendments
to the Waitsfield Zoning Bylaw. Proposed amendments will affect
all property owners located in existing and proposed Flood and Fluvial
Erosion Hazard Area Overlay Districts, as shown on accompanying
Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Fluvial Erosion Hazard Area maps for
the Town of Waitsfield.
Proposed flood hazard area bylaw amendments include substantive
changes under the existing Flood Hazard Area Overlay District (Table
2.10), related development review standards (Section 5.03.E) and
updated definitions (Section 7.03), as well as minor changes under
other sections of the regulations.
Proposed fluvial erosion hazard area bylaw amendments include a
new Fluvial Erosion Hazard Area Overlay District (Table 2.11), related
development review standards (Section 5.03.F) and definitions (Section
7.03), as well as cross-references under other sections of the regulations.
The general purposes of proposed amendments are to:
- Manage
flood and fluvial erosion hazard areas in conformance with adopted
municipal plans;
- Promote
public health safety and welfare, by limiting new development
and associated risks within mapped hazard areas;
- Limit
losses due to flooding and streambank erosion;
- Preserve the flood carrying capacity and natural equilibrium
of rivers and streams; and
- Ensure that the town and affected property owners can obtain
federal flood insurance, hazard mitigation and disaster recovery
funds through community participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program.
