There shall be no residential uses in this district. Anydevelopment in this district shall adhere to the performance standards outlined in section 5.12. Abalance between the concerns of light industrial activity and development, and nearby residentialareas in the Village District is intended. Continued industrial use here helps maintain the link toHinesburg’s industrial past (e.g., streamside mills, dairy processing, etc.) while bolstering the presentand future vitality of the village area and the overall town. Certain non-industrial commercial usesare allowed throughout the district. The eastern side of the district (closest to Route 116) isparticularly suited to destination commercial uses (e.g., restaurant) that integrate with adjacent usesin the portion of the Village district along Route 116.Currently this district has access via private roads and drives, and does not front on any public roads.- Page 34 -
Hinesburg Zoning Regulations – October 17, 2011 Article 3However, pursuant to the Hinesburg Official Map, the Town plans to take over both the private road(Stella Road, southerly access to Charlotte Road) and the private drive (easterly access to Route 116)as public roads in the future. Furthermore, the Official Map shows that, Stella Road may beextended to the north to connect to Farmall Drive and potentially all the way to Shelburne Falls Road(“West Side Road” concept). Any development plans must be integrated with development in theadjacent portions of the Village district to ensure proper access is retained. Furthermore, sharedparking areas and parking facilities are encouraged to meet the needs of uses in both districts. Itshall be important to provide pedestrian movement through this district. Development plans areencouraged to integrate the historic canal waterway and make portions of it readily available toresidents and visitors as a link to Hinesburg’s industrial past.The western portion of the district includes wastewater treatment lagoons (no longer in operation)from the former cheese factory use. This area presents a number of potential future uses including,but not limited to: alternate location for the path of the future West Side Road, additional parking,stormwater treatment, continued wastewater treatment.The LaPlatte River forms the western extent of this district, and this important waterway shall beprotected with adequate building setbacks and vegetated buffers to allow for naturally occurringchannel realignment and water quality protection. Given how extensively this district has beendeveloped (e.g., buildings, access, parking, wastewater lagoons, etc.) and the lack of any formalstormwater treatment infrastructure, any new development that adds to lot coverage shall explorestormwater treatment options.Although previously occupied by a single-use industry (Saputo Cheese Factory), multiple nonresidentialuses are now envisioned and encouraged in this district and within the very large buildingfootprint of approximately 84,000 square feet. Subdivision and other innovative ownershiparrangements are possible; however, given the unique development pattern and history of the district,Planned Unit Developments (PUD) are encouraged. Lot coverage shall not exceed 80% unlesswaived by the DRB as part of the PUD review. With the exception of lot coverage, dimensionalstandards shown in Table 1 (e.g., minimum lot size, minimum frontage, minimum setbacks, lotdepth, etc.) shall be determined by the DRB during the development review process in order toprovide more flexibility for redevelopment within the district. Development proposals shall retainthe existing building setback from the northern property line to allow for potential trail use along theCanal, and to retain the existing buffer between this district and the residential neighborhood to thenorth.3.13.1 DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AND LIMITSThis district is generally bounded by and follows parcel lines as depicted on the 2010 TaxMap (as depicted on Village Growth Area Zoning District Map), except as noted in the morespecific description that follows.
