This evolution is <br /> and will continue to be triggered by changes in housing and development, Highway 10 access, and the <br /> commuter rail station. <br /> The FAST study identified an avenue in which the property owners could adapt to these changes,while <br /> ultimately maximizing the value of their property and operating successful, sustainable businesses. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan, approved in May,incorporated the FAST Study,requiring modifications to the <br /> zoning ordinance. <br /> The proposed ordinance creates a new zoning district, the Southern Twin lakes Road Business District, <br /> and as closely as possible follows the goals and objectives of the FAST study,including the development <br /> of sub-zones within the plan area. Each subzone has a purpose statement, a list of uses,bulk regulations <br /> (setbacks,heights,lot coverage) and design standards. <br /> The purpose of the item on Tuesday is to begin the discussion of the uses appropriate to the given area, <br /> more information will be provided at the meeting. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> • Draft ordinance <br /> POWEREI 81 <br /> NATURE <br />
