Text Amendment #819: Appl. #PZ-22-00387 Submitted by Attorney Eric Bernheim to modify the Westport Zoning Regulations to create a new zoning district, §24C, General Business District/ Saugatuck Marina (GBD/SM) and associated zoning standards for properties that meet the following criteria: shall be at least 3,049 SF in size or 0.07- acres, and shall be located northerly of the Saugatuck Train Station, southerly or easterly of Charles St., and south of Interstate 95. One (1) new definition will be added to §5-2, for Event Facility. New language is proposed in §33-8, to add permanent wall sign standards applicable to properties in the GBD/SM consistent with what is permitted for properties zoned General Business District (GBD). Modify language in §35-2.2.1 to allow front landscape relief (may be reduced to 0’ in depth) consistent with what is currently permitted for properties in the General Business District/Saugatuck (GBD/S). A copy of the proposed text amendment is available on-line at www.westportct.gov is on file in the Westport Town Clerk’s Office and is on file in the Westport Planning and Zoning Office.
