Public Workshop Materials

The New Scotland Hamlet Zoning Study Advisory Committee would like to thank everyone that was able to make it to the public workshop on Thursday, September 24th at Voorheesville High School.  Due to family, civic, and other obligations or mobility limitations, it is not possible for everyone to attend public workshops.  It is important that Town residents and stakeholders have the opportunity to learn about the zoning update process, comment, and provide feedback to any recommendations.  For this reason, we have made all the public workshop documents available here.  

If this is the first you've heard of the New Scotland Hamlet Zoning Study I encourage you to visit the About the study page on this website. This outlines the history and impetus for this study, as well as where the funding is coming from, and who is involved.  There is also a Previous Studies page that lists all previous planning and zoning initiatives for the Town as well as other related planning projects for the Capital Region.  

You can view the presentation from yesterday's meeting here: 

Hamlet Zoning Public Meeting

Below is a form developed to collect public comments and opinions about potential new zoning language for the New Scotland Hamlet Area.  The questions are based on information provided at the public workshop on several boards.  These boards can be downloaded and viewed here. After you have reviewed the workshop boards proceed below to answer some questions about future development ideas, housing choice, agricultural and open space conservation, and design.  After you complete each page click "Continue" to go to the next section.  If preferred, you can open the survey in a separate window, which may be easier to view and read, at this link: http://goo.gl/forms/6wiq5MhvEF.
  





Please feel free to share this information with neighbors.  If you have any questions or additional comments please email them to Jennifer at jceponis@cdtcmpo.org.  

Thank you for participating in this important step in the zoning update process.
