 APPLICATION PROCEDURES

The Planning and Zoning office handles applications covering a variety of activities, including subdivision of land, construction of buildings, site development, change of use, signage, and regulation amendments.

 

The first step in the application process is to submit a completed application form, a fee, a site plan, and architectural plans to the Planning and Zoning office. 

 

Some types of applications, such as single family residential construction in a residential zone, are routed directly to the Zoning Enforcement Officer for processing.  Others, such as applications for commercial and multi-family development, are reviewed and voted on by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular twice-monthly meetings.

 

Procedures for subdivision applications are described in the Branford Subdivision Regulations, Section 2, “Application Requirements and Procedure.”

 

Procedures for the various types of zoning applications are described in the Branford Zoning Regulations, Section 9, “Procedures,” and the checklists in the Appendices.
