ANALYSIS The 32 -page draft ordinance includes 26 additions and revisions to the town's Land Use Ordinance. These sections address eight major issues identified in the plan: density, conservation areas, conditional use districts, environmental protection, mitigation of nonresidential development impacts, subdivision design in accordance with natural/significant features, design guidelines, and advisory board representation by Transition Area residents. As has been noted in earlier analyses, the policy origin for nearly all of the work items and ordinance components can be clearly demonstrated. In a few cases, such as design standards, the plan did not include specific design features or criteria. In these instances, the ordinance drafting committee identified the design components or provisions that are included in the ordinance, examples of which were provided by planning consultant, Randall Arendt, during the facilitated meeting process. Below, Table 1. presents the policy origin of NSA Ordinance provisions. TABLE 1.
