Amendments 1 ARTICLE 1 PREAMBLE, ENACTING CLAUSE, ZONING DISTRICTS, ZONING MAP, AND SCOPE OF CONTROLS A. PREAMBLE These ZONING REGULATIONS are designed to further the purposes set forth in Chapter 124, section 8-2 of the Connecticut General Statutes, particularly in the following ways: to regulate the height, number of stories and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of the area of the lot that may be occupied, the size of yards, courts and other open spaces, the density of the population and the location and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, industry, residence and other purposes; and the height, size and location of advertising signs and billboards within the limits of said town ; to divide said town into districts of such number, shape and area as may be best suited to carry out the purposes of such act.

5 To regulate the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration or use of buildings or structures and the use of land in accordance with a comprehensive plan designed to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to promote health and the general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; and to facilitate the adequate provision for transportation, water, sewers, schools, parks and other public requirements, and with full consideration for the protection of historic factors and may provide that proper provision be made for sedimentation control, and the control of erosion caused by wind or water; and with a view of conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout said town , all in accordance with a comprehensive plan. Such REGULATIONS may also encourage energy efficient patterns of land development, the use of solar and other renewable forms of energy, and energy conservation.

6 All references to the Connecticut General Statutes refer to the revision of 1958, as amended. B. ENACTING CLAUSE, SHORT TITLE The PLYMOUTH Planning & ZONING Commission, acting under authority of Chapter 124 of the Connecticut General Statutes, hereby adopts and enacts these REGULATIONS as the ZONING REGULATIONS of the town of PLYMOUTH . 2 C. ESTABLISHMENTS OF DISTRICTS The town of PLYMOUTH is hereby divided into the following districts, the respective symbol for each type of district set forth opposite its title: SYMBOL TITLE_____ R-20 Residence R-20 District R-40 Residence R-40 District R-LAKE Residence R-LAKE District C-1 General Commercial District RBZ Restricted Business District C-VILLAGE Village District I-1 Industrial I-1 District I-2 Industrial I-2 District Each district may be designated on the ZONING Map referred to in the Use and Bulk Tables in Article 4, and elsewhere in the text of these REGULATIONS by its symbol only.

7 D. PURPOSE OF ZONING DISTRICTS The following statements of intent outline the broad purpose of each zone and its relationship to the adopted Plan of Conservation and Development. Additionally these statements are intended to articulate the hierarchal character of the districts and their legislative purpose. 1. R-20 District are those portions of PLYMOUTH characterized by 20,000 sq. ft. parcels, or less, by the availability of both public water and public sewer, generally surrounding the historic center of Terryville and by those areas more suitable for a fuller range of housing opportunities and choice. Shown as high density residential on the future land use plan. 2. R-40 District are those portions of PLYMOUTH where generally the lack of either public water or public sewer requires minimum 40,000 sq. ft. parcels. Shown as either low or medium density residential on the future land use plan.

8 3. R-LAKE District shown as high density on the future land use plan, the REGULATIONS for these two specific areas are designed to provide for the most rational and orderly development in areas bordering the lakes. Further, the purpose is to protect existing and proposed development around the lakes from siltation and pollution. 4. C-1 District shown as commercial on the future land use plan, these districts are designed to allow general commercial and office development in areas on or near major streets, most notably Route 6, while restricting strip development. 5. RBZ District while also shown as commercial on the future land use map, this district serves as a transitional zone for uses permitted along Route 6. It is intended for areas which contain a mix of low density homes by allowing some offices and personal services. 3 6. C-VILLAGE is that area along Route 6 in the original Terryville settlement which is set apart to encourage revitalization and compatible land uses; promote and preserve the prevailing historic architectural context; promote the principles of New Urbanism and Smart Growth; and promote development that is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Plan of Conservation and Development and the Economic Needs Study and the Market Research Analysis.

9 7. I-1 District these districts are set apart by virtue of their past industrial use, their existence in industrial areas which no longer meet modern industrial standards and their potential continued use for less expensive often multi-storied facilities. 8. I-2 District these districts are intended to provide suitable locations for heavy industrial uses, manufacturing and distribution and to include areas either in or suitable for designed industrial parks. E. ZONING MAP The areas and boundaries of such districts are hereby established (a) as shown on a map entitled ZONING Map of the town of PLYMOUTH and (b) as specified in the following sections. Such map bearing the same date as these REGULATIONS , referred to herein as the ZONING Map , together with everything shown thereon, is hereby made part of the REGULATIONS . An original of the ZONING Map and any amendments thereof shall be maintained on public display in the office of the town Clerk.

10 1. Interpretation Of District Boundaries On ZONING Map: The following rules shall apply to determining the location of district boundaries: i. Along Rights-Of-Way. Where a district boundary is shown following a street, a public right-of-way or a railroad, the boundary is respectively the center line of such street, or public right-of-way, or a line located midway between the main tracks of said railroad, and such boundary shall be deemed to be changed automatically whenever the center line of such street, or public right-of-way is changed or said main railroad tracks are changed, if the new center line is no further from the old center line than 50 feet at any point. ii. Map Dimensions. Where a dimension is indicated on the ZONING Map such dimension shall control. However, in the absence of a specific dimension being indicated on the ZONING Map, the dimension shall be determined by using the map scale.
