Applications

Applications to the Zoning Board of Review for special use permits, variances and appeals can be found on the Online Permitting System. Application forms also may be obtained from the Building and Zoning Clerk.

A pre-application review is strongly advised for special use permits, variances, and dimensional variances.

Complete applications must be submitted 30 days in advance to be placed on a Zoning Board of Review agenda. Applicants who have questions about an application should arrange a meeting with the zoning enforcement officer before the application is filed. Before the public hearing, applicants who are not represented by an attorney should review the zoning ordinance provisions on special use permits and variances. The burden is on the applicant to present the evidence needed for relief.
