PLANNING & ZONING: The Planning & Zoning Commission was organized to maintain and protect the integrity of the town.
Planning is done to promote efficient utilization, acquisition and disposition of the land in and surrounding the Town of Union Bridge, to ensure the highest and best use of land. It helps to direct, harmonize and influence discussions and activities of private and public sectors relative to the use and management of the land as well. Also, it can help to reconcile land use conflicts and proposals between and among individuals, private and government agencies, relative to the present and future need for the land.
Zoning is the process a municipality uses to plan for the use of land. The major types of zoning include: residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and historic. Sub-categories exist within each of the types of zoning.
