Planning and Zoning Commission
MISSION
The development and use of the land is a major determinant of the future physical form of the Town, and therefore it is the primary objective of the Planning and Zoning Commission to manage the development in a responsible manner in order to protect the public health and safety of the town’s citizens, as well as the environment, natural resources and character of the Town, and to further the goals of the Woodstock Plan of Conservation and Development.
MEETING SCHEDULE
The full Planning and Zoning Commission meets monthly, usually on the third Thursday of the Month (includes Public Hearings where applications for Subdivisions and Special Permits etc., are heard. (Note: Regulatory Subcommittee meetings (to discuss regulations and other non-business matters) are held on the first Thursday of the month.) at the time indicated on the PZC Calendar. See the blue Calendar tab (above) for upcoming meetings. Special Subcommittee meetings are scheduled as needed. Agendas and minutes are available at the Town Hall and on this website. Meetings are open to the public.

ZONING INFORMATION
The Town has three zones/districts in the Zoning Regulations: Community District, Industrial Park District and the Village Green District. We don't currently have an Official Zoning Map.
The Woodstock Industrial Park District shall comprise those lands specifically described as follows: all those parcels or tracts of land known as the Woodstock Industrial Park, located in South Woodstock, as more particularly bounded and described in the Declaration and Agreement dated March 1, 1973, and recorded at Volume 66, Page 671 of the Woodstock Land Records, and as shown on the map entitled "Plan of Land of the Woodstock Industrial Park Butts Road & Peake Brook Road Woodstock, Connecticut Scale 1" = 100' February, 1973," filed and recorded as Map No. 512 in the Woodstock Land Records. (The properties are off of Crab Tree Lane).
The Community District shall comprise all lands within the Town not located in the Woodstock Industrial Park District or in the Village Green District.
The Village Green District is a floating zone, and as such shall be established only after (1) a zone change and (2) a general plan of development application has been approved for a village green development at a specific location or locations. Please see the Zoning Regulations, Articles V, Section 1.C and VI, Section 4 for more information on the Village Green District regulations and/or how to establish one.
Please note: The Town of Woodstock does not have any Village Green Districts at this time.
