TOWN OF BEDFORD
ZONING ORDINANCE REVISIONS
Proposed updates to the Bedford Town Code are ready for public review and comment for the zoning ordinance and map. Owners of each parcel of land within the town limits are receiving this letter to let them know where they can review the proposed changes and how to provide comments. Three public meetings will be held – one to provide information about the proposed changes, and two formal public hearings to receive comments.
There are several reasons for the proposed changes to the Town Code for zoning regulations and the zoning map. The current Code is dated and due for an update. This update will provide improvements to make the document easier to use, to add new uses, to add a new mixed-use zoning district, and to generally clean up the text. In addition, general changes are proposed to the official zoning map in order to consolidate redundant districts, to apply zoning districts that are not currently on the map, and to
formally set the zoning designation of parcels recently incorporated into the Town limits, among other specific changes.
