Town of Peacham
Notice of
Public Hearing
Notice is hereby given to the
residents of the Town of Peacham that the Peacham Planning Commission will hold
a public hearing in the Peacham Town Clerk’s Office on Thursday, June 30th, at 7:00. This hearing will be held
for public review and comment on the proposed revisions to Peacham’s Zoning
Bylaw pursuant to Title 24 VSA, Chapter 117, the statute that regulates
planning and zoning. If and when it is adopted, the proposed revised Zoning Bylaw
will affect all lands within the Town of Peacham.
The proposed bylaw revisions support theTown Plan’s stated
needs: “To provide for higher density and more affordable housing opportunities
through higher densities in village zones, the need to encourage creative
design and mixed use plans in the village district (particularly Peacham
Corner)…” and “to encourage a more simplified or ‘user-friendly’ zoning and
planning process.” The proposed revision proposes changes to the zoning
districts include additional lands to the Village District. No new districts
were created.
Other technical changes to the bylaw involve clarification
on state jurisdictions, such as the Shoreland Development Act, which took
effect in 2014, as well as changes to land use definitions and other provisions
in order to eliminate conflict with FEMA requirements in the flood hazard
regulations. Other changes include provisions to home occupations and signage,
as well as the review process for boundary line adjustments.
