Orwell Land Use Regulations
Town of Orwell, VT - 2006
Brandy Saxton worked with the Orwell Planning Commission to revise their zoning and subdivision regulations, including development of a telecommunication ordinance, switching the town to a PC/DRB system and preparing a unified set of land use regulations. The revision began with an intensive public participation process to explore changes to the town’s zoning districts and densities, which resulted in creation of a shoreline overlay district, separation of a village district from the pre-existing highway commercial district and a reduction in density with required PUDs for major subdivisions in the rural district. Project begun while with ACRPC and completed as private consultant.
