On Tuesday February 17, 2026 at 6:30 pm, the Warren Select Board will be holding a Public Hearing to update the public on the revisions of the Warren Land Use and Development Regulations [LUDRs].
The LUDRs in their current form were initially adopted in 2001. The town has made a series of minor amendments to the LUDRs over the past 20 years. The 2019 Warren Town Plan recognized that it was time for a comprehensive review and amendment of the LUDRs. The Town Plan identified a need to realign the LUDRs with the town’s planning policies and to address inconsistencies resulting from the many changes that have been made to state statute and programs over the past two decades. There was also a commitment from the PC to improving the clarity of the LUDRs and the town’s development review and permitting processes.
These regulations , if adopted, will repeal and replace the Town’s current regulations and zoning map.
This revision will affect the entire Town in that the existing zoning districts have been renamed and the boundaries redrawn. There are currently twelve Zoning Districts and this revision has ten. There are additionally two Overlay Districts.
The document contains six chapters:
1- General
2- Zoning districts
3- Development Standards
4- Administration and Enforcement
5- Definitions
6- Maps
The LUDR subcommittee updated the most recent draft to address public comments received on the initial version of the proposed regulations, the Planning Commission forwarded their updated draft to the Select Board following their public hearing held on April 14, 2025. The Select Board reviewed and made minor changes to the draft, primarily in response to a legal review by the town attorney and minor edits were also made to the zoning map.
The full text of the proposed LUDRs and maps, including the proposed zoning map and the Planning Commission’s report can be viewed at The Warren Town Office during normal business hours and also at http://planning.warrenvt.org.
This hearing will be held in-person at the Warren Municipal Building Meeting Room, at 6:30 pm. This meeting will also be available via zoom and the meeting link can be found on the agenda posted closer to the date of the hearing. The hearing will be televised by MRVTV live as well as recorded for
