CONWAY — The first public hearing held by the Conway Planning Board on the town zoning ordinance rewrite took place last Thursday, Nov. 5. The proposed 128-page ordinance is intended to reorganize existing zoning regulations and eliminate redundant requirements but maintain currently permitted uses and dimensional requirements.
The board hired Barrett Planning Group to clarify and streamline the ordinance and bring it into alignment with Conway's 2024 master plan. The rewrite is expected to go before voters next April. Barrett Planning Group has been working with SE Group, consultants that developed Conway's master plan, on the zoning revisions.
