Description of Services

The Zoning Board of Appeals administers the Zoning By-Law: the Board issues special permits for use of property, grants variances from dimensional requirements of the By-Law, conducts hearings on Special Permits for uses like accessory apartments or earth removal, reviews Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit Applications, hears appeals from decisions of the Building Commissioner, and works with the Land Use Coordinator to implement the affordable housing long-range plan, which will allow the Town to plan for appropriate affordable housing sites.
