Town PUD law overhaul and Burdick/East Genesee corridor study
Summary
The town's planned unit development law, only a couple of years old, has been hard for the board to apply to recent projects. The board is forming a small committee to recommend fixes — including possibly restoring a 25-acre minimum — to the Town Board before more PUDs come through.

Zoning Board of Appeals - Jan 15, 2026
The town is studying its main commercial corridor — traffic, pedestrian safety, and what businesses it wants there. A public meeting is planned for late February, an online survey is coming, and a vision document should be done by May to support a state funding application, possibly for sidewalks.
