The land use designations in my notice seem to be the same. Is there really a change?

As part of the General Plan update the name of some Land Use Designations are being updated and/or the intensity of allowable development is being adjusted, but the type and physical character of the use will generally remain the same.  For example, there are many properties with a current General Plan Land Use Designation of “Medium-High Density Residential (8 to 12 dwelling units per acre)” that are being changed to “Medium Density Residential (8 to 16 dwelling units per acre).” In this example, the change is largely a technical change and will not result in a significant change to the type of uses or physical character of development in areas with this designation. While the change is not considered significant, State law still requires the Town to send notification of any change to the land use designation.
