Notice of Public Hearing – Interim Zoning Regulations – Saputo
The Hinesburg Selectboard held a public hearing at the Town Office on Monday, June 21, 2010 at 9:00 pm to receive public comment on proposed revisions to existing interim zoning regulations. The geographic area affected by these regulations is the 15.4-acre parcel owned by Saputo Cheese USA, which currently comprises the entire industrial 3 zoning district and a small portion of the Village zoning district. The purpose of the interim regulations is to provide a location within the existing village core area for employment, light industry, housing and other compatible uses that bring value to the community and maintain Hinesburg’s unique sense of place. These interim zoning regulations are a stand-alone 2-page document with no formal table of contents or section headings. They will temporarily supersede sections 3.5 & 3.13 of the current Zoning Regulations for the area affected. Changes to the Zoning Regulations – Village Growth Area The Hinesburg Planning Commission held a public hearing at Hinesburg Town Hall on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. to receive public comment on proposed changes to the Zoning Regulations, adopted November 7, 1972, as amended October 12, 2009; and changes to the Subdivision Regulations, adopted September 4, 1979, as amended October 12, 2009. The purpose of these changes is to make necessary revisions to the comprehensive village growth area regulations that were passed in May of 2009, as well as other minor housekeeping changes. A variety of substantive and technical changes are proposed including adjustments of zoning district lines, master plan requirements, a definition of mixed use development, maximum density calculation adjustments for affordable housing, reworked energy & green building standards that focus on efficiency vs. simply renewable technology use, etc. Housekeeping changes include correcting State statute references, deleting outdated text/provisions, minor wordsmithing, etc. Please see the actual revision proposal and the related 3-page Planning Commission report for a complete accounting of changes. The geographic area affected is primarily the village growth area; however, some changes will affect all of Hinesburg. For information or a hard copy of the proposed changes, please contact the Town Planning/Zoning Office, 482-3619. Working Documents Relevant To the May 26 Meeting
