Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING GENERAL ZONING PROCEDURES - NOTICES AND TECHNICAL STAFF REPORTS for the purpose of amending certain requirements regarding Planning Board notice and technical staff reports.

Background

This legislation amends provisions in the Zoning Ordinance regarding notice of development applications filed and technical staff reports. Currently, the Planning Board is required to mail out a list of all development applications filed each month but may charge a nominal fee to cover the costs of postage and handling. In addition, the Planning Board is required to mail out technical staff reports no less than two weeks prior to the scheduled Planning Board hearing.

 

This legislation will require the Planning Board to publish on its website a list of all applications filed and technical staff reports. The bill also permits any person to request a copy of the documents to be mailed upon written request for a reasonable fee.
