Making it Happen – Shaping Future Development
Making it Happen - Ordinance Changes
The Town Council has been reviewing the draft Character Based Code (CBC) developed for North Windham along with alternative ordinance changes that incorporate some of the highest impact components of a CBC into our existing zoning framework. The alternative presented could be used as a temporary ordinance patch to give both town staff and North Windham property owners a greater understanding of the shift in thinking required to regulate and develop within the framework of a CBC.

The Town Council adopted the alternative changes for the C-1 and C-2 Districts on June 12, 2018. See these changes in the current version of the Land Use Ordinance Section 400.
