“Changes to the Zoning Regulations in Lakeside”
Wednesday, Aug. 30, 10:30 a.m. | Orchestra Hall

The Lakeside Association Board began a mission to update the rules and regulations in 2019. As part of the development of the latest rules and regulations, certain rules needed to be adjusted to either better align with current zoning laws or better align with the needs of Lakeside, causing the need to change the Danbury zoning ordinance sections that impact Lakeside.  Known as a text amendment to the Danbury zoning ordinance, there were two separate and distinct applications and changes to zoning.  Switzer will discuss the impacts of zoning changes for the first round, primarily addressing the existing “Lakeside L District (L)” and the “Lakeside Business Overlay (LBO)” district changes.  He will then address the second round of changes which introduces the “Lakeside Municipal Overlay (LMO)” district, or primarily the association land outside of the LBO, describing the changes for “Permitted Uses.”
