The Planning Commission is engaged in drafting changes to the Town’s Zoning By-Laws & Regulations that will bring Bristol’s zoning ordinances into conformity with the Town Plan approved in November, 2012. Our deliberations on Article X (Zoning District Regulations) took place over the course of our meetings between late summer 2012 and our February 2015 meeting, and were organized around the Rural/Agricultural, Rural Conservation, and Village Planning Areas (as outlined in the new Town Plan). Adam Lougee, Executive Director of the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC), continues to serve as the Planning Commission’s consultant in this process and at this evening’s meeting will review the PC’s work related to recommended changes and updates to Article X to date.

Public comments on tonight’s agenda will be called for at an appropriate juncture during the deliberations. We will hear public comments on other topics at the conclusion of our evening’s deliberations.
