Planning and Zoning

The Planning and Zoning Department includes staff for zoning, wetlands and planning, as noted above. Applications involving "land use" begin the review process in this department, including subdivisions of land, commercial site plans, changes of use for existing businesses, and activities in or near wetlands and watercourses.

In addition, any building permit application must first be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Enforcement Officer to verify compliance with zoning regulations. 

Regulations for zoning, subdivision and wetlands can be downloaded from this site. All regulations are in PDF format, requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader.
