The Town Council held a first reading to discuss substantial updates to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning ordinance. Staff and the planning board spent months drafting a complete overhaul of the regulations using expert guidance and comparisons to neighboring communities. During the session, council members debated several specific revisions, including a proposal to require development agreements regardless of property ownership status. Another member advocated for stricter mandates regarding traffic mitigation, open space requirements, and commercial construction timelines to ensure developers are held accountable. To accommodate these potential changes and allow for further deliberation, the council decided to postpone the public hearing until May to ensure the final draft is legally sound and thoroughly vetted.
