Summary
Commissioners reported presenting a draft dark‑sky regulation to the zoning commission and said they will participate in the town’s coordinating committee in September; zoning members expressed interest and may incorporate the commission’s model regulations into the plan of conservation and development work.
Members of the Simsbury Conservation Commission reported taking a draft dark‑sky regulation to the zoning commission and said they will appear at the zoning meeting to discuss the draft.
A commissioner reported delivering the draft and said the zoning committee "seemed interested" and that the zoning body is tasked with work on the plan of conservation and development. The commission plans to supply its model regulations to zoning staff for potential incorporation. The commission also discussed the townwide coordinating committee and confirmed that the committee’s meeting was postponed to September, giving more time to prepare materials and check items off the coordinating committee list.
No formal policy action was adopted by the conservation commission at the July 15 meeting; commissioners described this item as interagency coordination and outreach to zoning staff rather than a distinct regulatory change by the conservation commission itself.
