Rezoning Criteria: yes, no?• Trade-offs:
– Provides legislative authority to deny; policy driven– But equal treatment: must use each time!
• Is it a suitable use given nearby property? • Does it adversely affect the use/usability of nearby
property?• Does current zoning allow reasonable economic use? • Will/could it cause burden on infrastructure or schools?• Does it conform w/ adopted land use plan & policy intent?• Are there changing conditions which give supporting
grounds for either approval or disapproval?

redevelopment only• EXEMPT individual Residential lots
– No clear cutting– Establish number of required tree cover on the site
(“units” per acre)• Inventory existing trees on site; special weight
for speciman trees• Indicate which will stay and which will go• Indicate replacement plan

Conservation Subdivision• Allow by-right in any residential zoning district• Conserves open space – 45%• Requires a mix of lot size• Consider allowing greater number of units as incentive• Integrate into surrounding by requiring lots on the
perimeter to be compatible with lot sizes of adjacent
