Zoning Board of Adjustment

The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) is a quasi-judicial body, which is tasked by State law with the responsibility of interpreting the provisions of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and deciding whether relief from provisions of the Ordinance is warranted on individual circumstances. In carrying out this role, the Board must carefully balance the constitutional property rights of citizens with the need of the Town as a whole to provide order in land use regulation.

All Zoning Board meetings are open to the public. Meetings are scheduled as required based on requests for hearings. Meeting agendas and minutes are available on the Town website.
