Why is Fayette reviewing our Land Use Ordinance? Why now?The Joint Land Use Committee was formed because the Comprehensive Plan (approved by the voters at Town Meeting in June 2023) requires that a committee be formed to review the Land Use Ordinance. The Town’s Land Use Ordinance is specifically supposed to reflect the goals of its Comprehensive Plan. At the beginning of the Land Use Committee’s meetings, a list was created to highlight the goals outlined in the Comp Plan. The group has been striving to keep those goals in mind throughout each topic discussed.
"The Land Use Ordinance in Fayette needs to be reviewed and brought into modern form. The existing structure of this ordinance includes many unnecessary elements and impacts all forms of development. The Town and Planning Board need to review the Land Use Ordinance and remove many of the outdated and difficult requirements. Other regulatory tools, including the Subdivision Ordinance, continue to function and preserve the rural character of the town. There may be future interest in developing land use regulations focused on affordable housing and further preservation of Fayette’s natural resources." -taken from the Comprehensive Plan (page 119) The Town's Comprehensive Plan serves to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the town. The Town's Land Use Ordinance governs how we grow and develop as a town. The Comp Plan and Land Use Ordinance need to work in harmony in order to be successful. |
