[Massplanners] Minor Site Plan Review(s)

[Ryan Christenberry]

If your zoning bylaw allows it, and it’s not a “site plan special permit”,  it’s legal.

Subject: [Massplanners] Minor Site Plan Review(s)

Good Monday morning all.

Here’s one for you:  Our current zoning bylaw allows for Minor Site Plan Review applications to be discussed and approved by a Development Review Team made up of town staff; myself, Building Commissioner, DPW Director, Police, Fire, BOH, etc.  A member or two of my Planning Board has questioned the legality of this.  I have not seen anywhere where this is not legal.  Does your town/city allow for the approval of minor site plan reviews by town staff, or are they all done by your Planning Board?

Many thanks,
