Specifically,the town proposes to change the zoning on multiple rural residential lots over 16 acres from the RM-16 (Rural Mixed Use) zoning category to the recently established RR-16(Rural Residential)category.At the time the town adopted the comprehensively revised zoning ordinance,the RR-16 category was not an available option.The primary differences between the RM and RR districts are that RM zoning allows for more intensive agricultural uses and a more expansive list of possible conditional uses. For example, RM zoning does not place a numeric limit on the number of livestock,whereas RR zoning does. The town feels that the RM zoning category represented a significant change from the old ordinance RH (Rural Homes) category, and that property owners should have to apply individually for the RM zoning given the potential for more intensive land uses to be established.Affected property owners were directly notified by the town and given the opportunity to comment on the change and/or request that RM zoning remain in place. In the course of conducting a review of the various zoning designations, staff also discovered a number of properties that were assigned inappropriate zoning based on the prior zoning designation as well as their current size and use. For example,several properties over 35 acres were assigned the RM-16 zoning even though they were previously FP-35. In addition,there were several residential parcels that were assigned HAM-M (Hamlet Mixed Use)zoning—even though they are not located within a hamlet and no"mix" of land uses is occurring.
