An act relating to regional plan maps and Act 250 Tier 1

This bill modifies Vermont's regional plan map categories for Act 250 Tier 1 development. It redefines "Village areas" to require municipal water/wastewater service or suitable soil for septic, and creates "Transition or infill areas" for redevelopment near existing villages - banning new strip commercial development to protect adjacent economic vitality. The bill also establishes "designated neighborhoods" for planned growth/village areas and transition areas within workforce housing zones, requiring approval similar to existing "designated centers." These changes aim to guide higher-density, mixed-use development while preserving downtown vitality and climate resilience.
