Town of Ulysses Zoning Update Kick-off!
The Town of Ulysses announces a public meeƟng on Saturday,February 27th at 9:30 AM at the
Trumansburg Fire Hall for residents to learn about the Ulysses land use regulaƟons project and to help
guide zoning recommendaƟons.
In 2009, the Town of Ulysses adopted a Comprehensive Plan update that includes the Town vision and
strategies to preserve, protect, and enhance the rural character, natural resources, and agricultural
pracƟces in the Town, balanced with appropriate level of growth and development. In 2013, the Town
adopted an Agriculture and Farmland ProtecƟon Plan that focuses on goals to strengthen the
agricultural economy, improve public understanding of farming, establish appropriate tax policies that
support agriculture, and enhance land use policies to beƩ er protect farmland.
These two planning documents guide policy changes for the Town. In 2013, the Town created two new
zoning districts – Lakeshore and ConservaƟon – that implement recommendaƟons in the
Comprehensive Plan. The Town is now looking at other parts of the town, including agricultural areas
and Jacksonville, to bring the zoning in line with the Comprehensive Plan.
The project kick-off meeƟng will be held at the Trumansburg Fire Hall, located at 74 West Main St in
Trumansburg. The doors will open at 8:30 am with a light breakfast and meet-and-greet with project
team. The event will start at 9:30 am with a presentaƟon on the zoning update project, current
condiƟons and exisƟng plans; this will be followed by audience parƟcipaƟon in a brainwriƟng exercise
and hands on acƟviƟes looking at neighborhood building.
We hope to see you there and hear from you on this important topic to guide future land use
development in the Town.
