WLT’s Position on Potential Change to Current Zoning Regs
The Warren Land Trust endorses a moratorium on the acceptance of subdivision or resubdivision applications until the Warren Zoning Regulations can be updated in a timely fashion to provide for:
- Zoning regulations that give appropriate consideration to wetland areas and buffer zones, sloped areas and soil types
- Zoning districts that reflect existing development patterns and neighborhoods, but preserve the rural character of relatively undeveloped sections of Warren
- Make conservation a primary consideration of every subdivision application, with emphasis on increased open space requirements and the preservation of scenic views, ridge lines, watercourses, wetlands and other environmental assets
The Warren Land Trust also endorses updating the Town Plan of Development to reflect the concerns listed above and the Town’s commitment to the preservation of its rural character, including the establishment of “green belts” of preserved land throughout the town.
