Town-wide rezoning including MDR and CMU districts
Description
Bethlehem's sweeping town-wide rezoning proposal — including new high-density MDR (up to 22 units/acre) and CMU (up to 33 units/acre) districts — drew heavy resident opposition, with calls to delay the November 10 public hearing until impact studies are done.
Impact summary
Speakers said the proposal could add roughly 1,736 dwelling units town-wide — 250% more than the past decade's growth — straining roads, schools, water, and volunteer fire services.
