Town of Monkton Notice of Public Hearing
On the Proposed Amendments to the Unified Planning Document
The Monkton Selectboard will hold a public Hearing at 6:45 PM, Tuesday January 24, 2023 at Monkton Town Offices (92 Monkton Ridge), to take public testimony on the proposed Amendments to the Unified Planning Document.
The Selectboard will discuss and vote on any proposed changes after this Public Hearing.
Statement of Purpose
Monkton’s Unified Planning Document exists to provide process and procedure to guide orderly development within the town. It is comprised of two parts, Section I that contains the town’s Zoning Regulations and Section II that addresses the Subdivision Regulations. All development regulations take their guidance from the Town Plan, but unlike the Town Plan do not expire. Once adopted these regulations remain in effect until amended by the voters. The amendments proposed here, are intended to streamline the Zoning and Subdivision process and to make the process more open to the community.
All of the proposed amendments support the goals of the Town Plan and provide clarity and greater community input in the development process. They are compatible with proposed future land uses and densities of the municipal plan and planned community facilities.
