MAIN STREET DESIGN GUIDELINES
In 2010, the Village Board of Trustees created the Williamsville Zoning
Committee to begin work on design standards for a new mixed-use district
that would encompass Main
Street and adjacent commercial areas. Over the last year, this committee has
worked diligently with Bergmann Associates on these design standards. The committee has now finalized the Mixed
Use District Design Standards document, which will be used by the Planning
and Zoning Boards once adopted. This
document has been referred to the Village Board of Trustees for
adoption. A public information
meeting was held on September 15, 2011 to discuss the new design guidelines
with the public. A public hearing
was held on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 7:30 pm at Village Hall, 5565 Main Street,
Williamsville. Following are redline
versions of the section of the Village Code that are expected to be
modified:
