BUILDING & RENOVATING

Preliminary Zoning Review

A Preliminary Zoning Review provides an examination service to determine compliance with the Town Zoning By-law. This review is not intended to be the process through which comments are resolved.

Only one submission is permitted before the file is closed. Subsequent reviews will require submission of a new Preliminary Zoning Review request.

This service is intended for but not limited to the following proposals:

  • zoning review for Committee of Adjustment applications
  • zoning review of a preliminary project that is not ready for building permit submission

    1. A survey if available
    2. A detailed site plan, fully dimensioned and including building setbacks
    3. Floor plans, fully dimensioned indicating uses of all space
    4. Applicable elevations and cross sections
