The Princeton Planning Board will hold a public hearing regarding the following proposed changes to the Princeton Zoning By-Laws to be considered at the Annual Town Meeting on Tuesday, May 9th, 2023 at 6:30 pm at the Thomas Prince School Cafeteria.
The Planning Board is proposing an amendment to the Princeton Zoning By-Laws:
To change all references to the “Board of Selectmen” to “Selectboard” and to change all gender specific references to non-gender specific references, in the same manner as changes were approved at the May 2022 Town Meeting in the Town’s general by-laws.
The Planning Board is proposing an amendment to add a new Section XXIII. Solar Energy Systems in the Princeton Zoning By-Laws:
To facilitate and encourage the use of solar energy to reduce dependence of fossil fuels, subject to regulations intended to preserve forested watershed lands that are instrumental in improving and protecting the water quality of the public and private drinking water reservoirs within and surrounding the Town; to preserve forests to promote carbon sequestration; to contribute to the protection of healthy ecosystems; to prevent loss of wildlife habitat; to minimize any negative impact on neighboring properties; and to preserve the dominant rural, residential, and agricultural character and uses of the Town.
Copies of the actual language of the proposed amendments are available for review at the Town Hall, Monday-Thursday for 8 AM – 4 PM or on the town website on the Planning Board page.
