Research notes
24 V.S.A. § 4413 limits municipal review of schools, state/municipal facilities, public utilities, churches, and correctional facilities to specifically enumerated dimensional items. Federal conflict check enabled because the religious-use clause overlaps RLUIPA and the public-utility clause may interact with FCC / FERC preemption.
