Attached please find the following documents related to the NVC Governance Committee’s work on revising the village’s Zoning Ordinance (current ordinance available at https://nvcmaine.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/nvc-zoning-ordinance.pdf):

  1. A revised summary of material changes made to the ordinance, including a separate section listing changes made after the last public hearing on 6/25/22.
  2. A revised redline of the summary of material changes against the version discussed at the 8/1/22 meeting of the Governance Committee.
  3. An redline showing the changes between the current (8/6/22) version and the version discussed at the 8/1/22 meeting of the Governance Committee.
    1. Page 1: Header added re: public meetings, consistent with what’s shown on the current ordinance.
    2. Page 1: Changed format of dates on first page, consistent with what’s shown on the current ordinance.
    3. Pages 2-4: Updated table of contents page numbers.
    4. Page 7: Removed the reference in 1.8.4 to ZBA and clarified that 2/3 vote is for voters at the meeting, not all eligible NVC voters, the vast majority of whom will not be at the meeting.
