Business Park Drive light industrial rezoning
Summary
The business park has been light industrial in practice for 30 years but zoned General Business, leaving properties legally nonconforming. Rezoning protects longtime businesses like Stafford Cutting Dies from losing their status; staff has considered a town-initiated rezoning of the whole area but is holding off due to state downzoning law.
