| About the Route 72 Corridor Amendments |
|
The Bristol Zoning Commission has adopted a series of amendments to the Zoning Regulations and |
| Zoning Map that resulted from the Commission's efforts to implement recommendations contained in the |
| city's "Route 72 Corridor Land Use and Transportation Master Plan" (known informally as the Route 72 Study). The |
| Study, adopted in 2005 by the Bristol Planning Commission, lays out a land use and traffic corridor management |
| plan for portions of the corridor that were expected to be the most impacted as a result of the Route 72 Highway |
| Relocation Project. |
| |
| In preparing the amendments, the Zoning Commission considered the findings of the Roue 72 Study as well as its |
| own knowledge of the area. Among the amendments is a new “Route 72 Corridor Business Zone” (identified |
| as "BHC" on the Zoning Map), designed to accommodate an array of uses consistent with the corridor’s increased |
| importance as a gateway into Bristol and itsdowntown, and an “Access Management Overlay Zone”, intended to |
| help improve traffic flow and safety within the corridor by better managing the number, location, and design of |
|
driveway openings along sections of Pine Street, Middle Street, and Riverside Avenue. |
