TOPP-02-2020 - Rural Municipal Planner Needed for Zoning Review

The Town of Pine Plains adopted a Comprehensive Plan Update in December 2019. The Town’s zoning ordinance was originally adopted in 2009. Amendments have been made over the years. The Town desires to update the zoning and subdivision ordinances to incorporate contemporary planning and zoning practices as well as comply with the Implementations Section of the 2019 Plan Update. The
Pine Plains Town Board will work directly with a planner on the needs and language for revisions,
along with a ZRC, which the Town Board will choose. The planner will guide the Board and ZRC
through the process of reviewing these updates to the Pine Plains current zoning and subdivision
codes with the goal of presenting any proposed changes at that point back to the Pine Plains Town
Board for discussion, public hearing, and adoption. The planner should be familiar with rural towns
and their special needs. The Town wishes to commence work on this immediately
