PLANNING DEPARTMENT

The Planning Department assists the Planning Board in the administration of its duties as well as assisting other Town departments with land use responsibilities. They also provide similar staff support and applicant assistance to the Historic District Commission. The Planning Department is responsible for the Comprehensive Plan and updates to include development of zoning and regulatory amendments in conjunction with the Planning Board and other Town departments and committees. They also develop and update the Town’s Open Space Conservation & Recreation Plan and assist in Town open space and other land purchases and dispositions. The Planning Board makes recommendations regarding the long term growth of the Town. They also review site plans and special permits under the zoning bylaw and subdivision plans.

Please use the links to the left to navigate to important information. Specifically, the link in the Blue Tab on the left of your screen titled "Community Engagement and Education" contains important links for long term planning efforts such as the Housing Production Plan and Local Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, information regarding proposed regulatory amendments will be posted there as necessary.
