What Are The Chances That An Application Will Be Approved?
Application’s approval depends primarily on whether the proposal meets the standards in the zoning bylaw. For Conditional Uses, the proposal must conform to the Conditional Use criteria. These standards include the capacity of community facilities, traffic on roads in the vicinity, the character of the area, and the purpose of the zoning district. Additional standards, called Performance Standards, are also created for some specific uses to help determine if the use can fit in with its surroundings and if special operating conditions are necessary to ensure that it remains a compatible use. A copy of the Performance Standards for specific uses may be obtained in the Wilmington Town Office and on the Town of Wilmington’s website at www.wilmingtonvermont.
