The Williston Selectboard will hold a public hearing to receive comment on proposed changes to Chapter 45: Transportation Impact Fees of the existing Williston Unified Development Bylaw, pursuant to 24 V.S.A §4442 and the Williston Unified Development Bylaw. The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 8:00 PM in the Williston Town Hall Meeting Room located at 7900 Williston Road.

The proposed changes to the Town's Unified Development Bylaw include the following:

-Increasing the base transportation impact fee from $750 per vehicle trip to $1,943 per trip.
-Updating predicted growth in Williston through 2040 and an extension of the horizon of the impact fee to that year.
-Establishment of a new methodology to predict the number of new trips across the 2040 horizon based on predicted growth and transportation demand likely to be generated from new development.
-Focusing the list of projects to be funded with transportation impact fee receipts on projects that must be funded locally.
-A clarification of how developers who build projects or portions of projects on the project list will be credited for their contribution to the Town's infrastructure.
-The addition of an exemption from the fee for affordable housing and childcare.

If adopted, the amendments to the Bylaw will go into effect 21 days after adoption unless a petition is filed for a popular vote to repeal the amendments within 20 days of the adoption vote as provided for in 24 V.S.A. § 4442.

The above is a summary. Copies of the entire text of the proposed Unified Development Bylaw amendments are available for review during regular business hours at the Town Hall located at 7900 Williston Road, Williston, VT and can also be found on the Town's website.
