The Town’s Interactive Development Map, below, displays the locations of active development applications. Additional information, such as project descriptions, plans, and Town contacts, can be found by selecting individual projects within the map.

Rezoning

Rezoning is the act of modifying the official zoning map.  There are three types of rezonings authorized in the Town of Morrisville: General, Conditional, and Planned Development. More information about the Rezoning Process can be found in the Resident's Guide to the Rezoning Process(PDF, 1MB) and in the UDO.pdf(PDF, 21MB)

Types of Rezoning

General Rezoning
General Rezoning reclassifies land to a base zoning district and subjects future development in the district to all the development regulations applicable to that district, including the allowance of the full range of uses and development intensity permitted in the district.

Conditional Rezoning
Conditional Rezoning reclassifies land to a conditional zoning district that is parallel to a base zoning district and subjects future development in the district to the same development regulations applicable to the parallel base district except as modified by conditions that:

  1. Are proposed by the owner(s) of the subject land and mutually agreed upon by the Town;
  2. Incorporate any proposed modifications to use, intensity, or development standards applicable in the parallel base district; and
  3. Are limited to conditions that address conformance of the allowable development and use of the rezoning site with the Town regulations and adopted plans and whose impacts are reasonably expected to be generated by the allowable development or use of the site.

Planned Development Rezoning
Planned Development Rezoning reclassifies land to a Planned Development (PD) zoning district for which applicable development regulations are defined by a PD plan and agreement. Subsequent development with a PD district occurs through subdivision approval and site plan approval procedures and standards, which ensures compliance with the PD plan and agreement.
