The Planning and Zoning Department is located in the Town Hall Annex. The Department's basic functions are as follows:

Staff undertakes various planning studies and the development of various approaches for achieving the objectives of the Plan. Staff is also involved in drafting possible new or revised language for both the comprehensive plan and the land use regulations.

Zoning Administration: The Department serves as staff to the Development Review Board (DRB) which is responsible for administering the land use regulations (Zoning Regulations and Subdivision Regulations) adopted by the Town. As such, staff meets with potential developers, reviews development plans, and assists the DRB in approving or denying applications for development approvals. In addition, staff is responsible for enforcing the land use regulations.
-

The department serves as staff to the Commission and reviews development proposals, inventories historic resources, and develops preservation strategies.
