Notice of Public Hearing
Tuesday, July 5, 2022
7:15 PM
The Williston Selectboard will hold a public hearing to receive comment on proposed changes to the existing Williston Unified Development Bylaw to create a form-based code overlay district in the Taft Corners area and establish an official map for the entire Town, pursuant to 24 V.S.A §4442 and the Williston Unified Development Bylaw.
The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, July 5, 2022 at 7:15 PM in the Beckett/McGuire Meeting Room at Williston Town Hall located at 7900 Williston Road with remote participation available using the online platform zoom with access information listed at the bottom of this hearing notice. Written comments can be submitted prior to the hearing to Town Manager Erik Wells at ewells@willistonvt.org or by postal mail to his attention at Williston Town Hall, 7900 Williston Road, Williston, VT 05495.
The proposed amendments to the Williston Unified Development Bylaw will replace most of the zoning requirements in the Taft Corners Growth Center with a form-based code overlay district, will establish an official map for all of Williston, and will generally include:
• A regulating plan that specifies the location and type of new streets, alleys, bike paths, public parks, and green spaces to be constructed and dedicated as a requirement of new development in Taft Corners and identifies parking setbacks and building build-to lines.
• Architectural requirements for all new buildings in the form-based code overlay district.
• Building form standards regulating building height, maximum width and footprint, and placement in the form-based code overlay district.
• An amended zoning map showing the boundaries of the form-based code overlay district.
• A Town-wide official map showing planned public streets, paths, trails, green spaces and facilities within and outside of the form-based code overlay district.
• General amendments to Williston Unified Development Bylaw Chapters 1-46 to incorporate the form-based code into the existing bylaws.
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 Williston Unified Development Bylaw amendments are available for review during regular business hours at the Town Hall and can also be found on the Town's website at http://town.williston.vt.us by navigating to public records and then documents / legal notices.
