SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In November 2023 voters passed the Home Rule Charter. This document dictates how the Town is governed. Article 11 of the Charter requires the Town provide and maintain an appropriate and distinct zoning for property designated as Open Space. Town legal counsel determined the existing AG/OS district did not meet the intent of the Charter.
