[Amended 2-13-2007 by Order No. 186-06]
A. Unless and/or until this Part 6 is amended, the maximum
number of new growth permits issued shall be 85, from July 1, 2006
to June 30, 2007, and annually thereafter from July 1 to June 30.
In addition, from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007, two additional growth
permits shall be for affordable housing constructed by Habitat for
Humanity or a similar not-for-profit organization; and annually thereafter
from July 1 to June 30, nine additional growth permits shall be for
affordable housing.
B. In the event that fewer than 85 permits are issued
in any one year, up to 15 of the unused permits may be issued in the
following year on a first-come, first-served basis notwithstanding
any other provision of this section to the contrary, in addition to
the 85 that would otherwise be available.
C. Effective July 1, 2007, no more than 25 of the growth
permits shall be issued annually for dwelling units located within
the Rural (RU) District.
D. No more than 75% of the growth permits shall be issued
annually for dwelling units within subdivisions, and no more than
15 growth permits shall be issued in any year for dwellings in a single
subdivision; provided, however, that effective July 1, 2007, no more
than 20 growth permits shall be issued annually for dwelling units
within subdivisions located within the Rural (RU) District, and no
more than five growth permits will be allocated for dwelling units
in a single subdivision located within the Rural (RU) District; and
provided further that any applicant with a pending subdivision application
for a subdivision located in the Rural (RU) District that has obtained
at least one substantive review from the Planning Board prior to July
1, 2007, shall not be subject to this five-permit limitation for that
subdivision.
Growth permits are not transferable. They shall
be valid for construction on the lot specified on the application
and by the applicant; provided however, that such valid permits shall
be transferable to new owners of the lot should the property change
hands, but only if the new owners are otherwise eligible for such
permit had they been the original applicant. If a Permit is transferred,
the date of issuance remains unchanged.
