TOWN OF BRISTOL SPECIAL TOWN MEETING: Australian ballot vote on proposed Unified Development Regulations.
The Selectboard has warned a special Town Meeting to coincide with the November 3 General Election to provide an opportunity for Bristol voters to decide by Australian ballot whether to adopt the proposed Bristol Unified Development Regulations. (Link to warning: https://bit.ly/341KyM7.) Bristol's Zoning Regulations are proposed to be amended to include Subdivision Regulations for the town. The resulting proposed document would be named the 'Bristol Unified Development Regulations.' The amended document is intended to implement the Bristol Town Plan and streamline the development review process, which affects all types of development throughout the town. The following list highlights the Articles and other topics substantially amended in the proposed document. Other minor changes are also proposed.
1. Article IX: the inclusion of Subdivision Regulations, Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)
2. Change from a Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) to a Development Review Board (DRB)
3. Article X: definitions
4. Article III: the review process
5. Article VI: A new section allowing On Farm Accessory Businesses

Commission's report are available at the following locations:

IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION:
Unlike the General Election ballot that the Secretary of State has mailed to each active
voter statewide, this is a local election ballot that voters will need to request directly from the Town Clerk's office either by mail or by voting in person. Contact the Town Clerk at (802) 453-2410 ext. 5 or clerk@bristolvt.org for more information.
