If the application has not been submitted yet you can call Delia Fey, Town Planner at (860) 963-2128 x332 OR Tina Lajoie, PZC Clerk at (860) 928-1388 x328 to inquire about the status of the proposal OR you can attend a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and speak under the 'Citizens Comment' portion of the agenda.

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.
