Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment — Section 9.1(2), Non-Conforming Uses and Structures — Continuance
Description
A text amendment that would let owners of legal non-conforming lots seek dimensional relief after demolishing an existing house — something the zoning board currently says it can't do after the Westerly ruling. The board tabled its recommendation until a cleaner draft is ready.
Impact summary
If adopted, dozens of frozen projects — including many in Breakwater Village — could move forward without applicants shrinking their planned homes or restarting approvals.
