Voluntown has solved this pretty well, in some areas, with zone overlays. It still needs work, but the lake zone and town center zone overlays have been effective at creating pretty good development over the years.

I think we'll have to update regs on the main zones and general regs, though, because we're running into issues with new construction being solely in the 3k sq ft range and a low number of empty or new lots being sold. Town center zoning could expand; we could drop rear lot size (4 acres -> 2 acres) and limits (3 -> 5); we should allow ADU's on all lots and encourage their construction, especially in town center, through tax breaks for ADU's used as long term rentals; I'm also a fan of the idea of creating a town center center zoning overlay that encourages 2-over-1 mixed-use buildings (home or apartments over commercial).
