CAST OF CHARACTERS FOR THE ZONING UPDATE

(see the Vermont Statutes Title 24 Section 4441 & 4442 for a full description of the process for amending and adopting bylaws)

Planning Commission - prepares a draft for proposed/revised bylaws, holds one or more public hearings on the draft, and then submits the draft to the Select Board

Select Board - reviews the draft, holds one or more public hearings on the draft, and warns a special or regular meeting of the town to vote on the draft

Ferrisburgh Voters - vote on adoption of the proposed bylaws
(note that Ferrisburgh voted to be considered a "rural town" as described in the state statutes on bylaw adoption)

Citizens Advisory Committee - an unofficial group of citizens providing feedback from the town to the Planning Commission on proposed zoning and subdivision changes
