2024 Village Center Zoning Updates
In early 2024, Jericho applied for and received a Bylaw Modernization Grant (BMG) from the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Funding from this grant program is for municipalities for land use, development, and zoning bylaw updates in support of a pedestrian-oriented development pattern that increase housing choice, affordability, and opportunity in areas planned in accordance with Vermont’s smart growth principles (24 V.S.A. §2791). This funding is intended to help municipalities confront the State’s housing shortage and ready areas for new housing investments.
Throughout 2024, the Planning Commission (PC) will be working with David White from Sterling Mountain Community Planning and Design to review the Village Center (VCTR) zoning and Character Based Zone (CBZ) bylaws and identify areas for amendments. The Enabling Better Places document published by the DHCD will be used as a guide for the zoning amendments.
