Downtown zoning rules hearing on March 31st

Note from City Planner Alan Weiner:

Greetings!

This is to advise you that the Bristol Zoning Commission has scheduled a public hearing for Monday, March 31, 2008, on a series of proposed amendments to both the Downtown Business (BD) zone provisions of the Bristol Zoning Regulations and the Downtown Business zone on the city's Zoning Map. The hearing will be held in the First Floor Meeting Room, Bristol City Hall, 111 North Main St., beginning at 6:30 PM.

You can view and download the latest draft of the proposed text amendments and the proposed zoning map changes - along with a variety of supporting materials - at http://www.ci.bristol.ct.us/content/3326/8362/default.aspx

These proposed amendments, developed by the Zoning Commission and its staff over the course of many months at numerous work sessions, are designed to make the BD zoning regulations more flexible and user-friendly, while at the same time maintaining the development principles for downtown Bristol articulated in the city's 2000 Plan of Conservation and Development.

We encourage you to share this information with other individuals and groups who you feel might have an interest in these proposed amendments. Similarly, we encourage you to forward the Weblink specified above to all interested parties.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact the Land Use Office by telephone at 860/584-6225 or by e-mail at landuseoffice@ci.bristol.ct.us. Thanks in advance for your interest and participation in this important process.

Regards,
Alan L. Weiner, AICP
City Planner

Are Rosenthal and Weiner related?

They seem to have similar genes.

Mr Weiner should be giving a talk to . Then put on notice. Maybe he has anything goes contract. Yea like the rest of the union folks. This is why Bristol is in trouble.Four workers to do one mans job. What a joke.

So typical. I guess it doesn't matter what the topic is, it seems there's always a handfull of malcontents who have to hijack the discussion and turn it into a pissing match about the unions, about the mayor, about anything except the topic at hand.

THIS IS SERIOUS BUISNESS AND WE HAVE NO LEADERSHIP. SO WHY SHOULD WE CARE THEY TREAT US LIKE SHIT THEY GET THE SAME. THANKS TO STEVE COLLINS WE CAN BE HEARD.

The city would have less on Weiner than they do on Rosenthal, and we see the result there.

Both should be gone, neither will be.

And the beat goes on.

No leadership?

I am being told that Ward is the reincarnation of General Patton.
