Review of Rezoning Applications

The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) offers a list of Suggested Environmental Zoning Conditions, which is a general list of suggested rezoning conditions for applicants to consider before filing a Conditional Rezoning or Planned Unit Development (PUD) application.  Most applications for rezoning and PUD are required to be reviewed by the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) before public hearings are held by the Planning Board and Town Council. Exceptions to this requirement can be found in the Town's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 2.1.9.A.2.
