How to Read the Zoning Map

The Town Zoning Map consists of an index map and 31 separate map sheets covering the entire Town. To find out the zoning on your property (that is, what zoning district your property is located), go through the following steps:

• Look at the Index Map to determine which map sheet your property can be found. Your neighborhood will be located within a dark-lined rectangle that has a number; this number is the map sheet number.

• Go to that map sheet and locate your property. The map sheets show all property lines, streets, and street names, and you should be able to easily find your property.

• Zoning district boundaries are identified on the map by a bold line, and your property will be encompassed within the boundaries of one of these zoning districts. To determine the zoning district, look for the large bold letters within the zoning district boundaries - this is the zoning district designation.

• The zoning district designation is an abbreviation of the PRIMARY ZONING DISTRICT. Look in the legend on this page for the description of the zoning district designation. Your property will have only one primary zoning district unless it is cut in half by a zoning district boundary.

• If your zoning district designation has two parts separated by a hyphen (-), you have a specific RESIDENTIAL DENSITY applied to your property. The second part of the designation after the hyphen is the residential density; look in the legend on this page for your property's density.

• Your property may also be located in an OVERLAY DISTRICT. An overlay district is applied to properties that have special zoning regulations (e.g. historic preservation district, snow avalanche areas) above and beyond the zoning regulations established by the primary zoning district. If your property may be located in an overlay district, there will be a note on the right side of the map sheet referring you to another sheet. Go to that map sheet and locate your property. If you property is located within the overlay district boundaries, your property is in that Overlay District. Overlay districts are shown at the end of a zoning district designation separated by a hyphen.
