Williston Unified Development Bylaw Amendments

On March 19, 2024 the Williston Selectboard adopted amendments to the Town’s Unified Development Bylaw to amend the Town-Wide Official Map, and the regulating plan and street specifications maps in the Form-Based Code (Appendix F), pursuant to 24 V.S.A §4442 and the Williston Unified Development Bylaw. Adoption followed a public hearing that was held to receive comments on the amendments that took place on March 19, 2024.

The amendments are summarized as follows:

• Amend Williston’s Official Map to remove future “Tier 2 Streets” from lands owned by Vermont State University on Blair Park Road, Helena Drive,                        and Route 2
• Amend the Regulating Plan and Street Specifications Maps in Williston’s Form-Based Code (Appendix F) to remove future “Tier 2 Streets” from lands owned by Vermont State University on Blair Park Road, Helena Drive, and Route 2

The amendments to the Bylaw will go into effect on April 9, 2024 unless a petition signed by at least five percent of the voters of Williston is filed with the Town Clerk by April 8, 2024 asking for a vote to disapprove the adoption. If a petition is received, the Selectboard will warn a special meeting and the voters may vote on that question pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 4442.

The above is a summary. Copies of the maps effected by this proposed amendment to the Williston Unified Development Bylaw Appendix F 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. Members of the public can contact the Williston Planning Department at (802) 878-6704, or at planning@willistonvt.org with any questions.
