Zoning & Land-Use / Building Potential
Zoned Forest Conservation (FC) within the Town of Bethel .
In FC zones, 5-acre minimums are standard; your total of ~0.73 acres is below that threshold .
However, the Town’s zoning law supports rural, low-impact uses:
Light recreational use—hiking, camping, picnicking.
Accessory structures: sheds, hunting cabins, small off-grid shelters—subject to setbacks and typical accessory use rules, and may need a permit
Farming, home gardens.
Building a permanent dwelling will likely require a variance for minimum lot size. A shed, small cabin, or similar outbuilding, especially without plumbing or electricity, might be allowed by right—or with a simple permit process.
What You Can Do Now
Enjoy recreational use and outdoor living.
Use for agricultural or hobby farming purposes.
Later apply for variances or site plan review to build a full-time residence if desired.
Zoning Overview
District: Forest Conservation (FC)
Min. lot size: 5 acres (existing combined 0.73 acres are substandard)
