Town PlanSlide17

“A new Zoning

District called St. Albans Bay Village Center located in the traditional village center of St Albans

Bay is proposed. This will accommodate mixed-use development and commercial waterfront development, including marinas.” Purpose - The purpose of the St Albans Bay Area District is to allow for new residential and commercial development that maintains the historic village character of this area. Future Planning - The St. Albans Bay Area District shall be a new Zoning District that would allow the Town of St. Albans to develop distinct regulations to support the role of St. Albans Bay as a location for social and economic activities. Residential/Commercial District designation may also be an appropriate designation for this area rather than a distinct new district. The Town should consider State of Vermont designation of a Village Center for this area so that additional incentives are available to landowners in the district. The bounds of this area and the scope of uses need to be determined and formulated as an amendment to the Town Plan and Zoning Bylaws and Subdivision Regulations”

Town Plan: Bay District ZoningSlide18

Village Center DesignationSlide19

“Village center” means the core of a traditional settlement, typically comprised of a cohesive mix of residential, civic, religious, commercial, and mixed use buildings, arranged along a main street and intersecting streets that are within walking distance for residents who live within and surrounding the core. Village centers are typically smaller in scale than downtowns and are characterized by a development pattern that is consistent with smart growth principles.Slide20

Eligible costs include interior and exterior improvements, code compliance, plumbing and electrical upgrades. 25% FACADE IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDITS Eligible facade work up to $25,000. 50% CODE IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDITS Available for up to $50,000 each for elevators and sprinkler systems and $12,000 for lifts. Eligible code work includes ADA modifications, electrical or plumbing up to $25,000. PRIORITY CONSIDERATION FOR HUD, CDBG AND MUNICIPAL PLANNING GRANTS Priority consideration for Municipal Planning Grants and funding from Vermont’s Community Development Program. PRIORITY CONSIDERATION BY STATE BUILDING AND GENERAL SERVICES (BGS) Priority site consideration by the State Building and General Services (BGS) when leasing or constructing buildings.
