Change in Zoning Regulation

The Town is proposing to change the uses permitted in "Office Residential" to make them more consistent with uses allowed our residential zone.    The purpose of Office Residential is to allow some limited office uses on busy roads while protecting the homeowners behind the property.     Various types of professional offices either in a former residence or designed to look like a residence are the ideal type of use for "Office Residential."   The Folly Road Overlay District made most of the parcels in the Town on the east side of Folly between Prescott and Fort Johnson "Office Residential."   

I think this is a reasonable change.   If those owning property in this area want a more intensive use, that might injure their neighbors behind them, then should apply for a rezoning to neighborhood or community commercial.
