Zoning and Subdivision Regulations

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 Housekeeping changes include correcting State statute references, deleting outdated text/provisions, minor wordsmithing, etc.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.
