Application Review Committee

The Belmont Planning Board has established an application review committee (review committee) comprised of applicable town staff to assist applicants to produce a technically complete application which conforms to the applicable Ordinances, Codes and Regulations.  The review process is intended to result in an efficient and effective review of the application by the Planning Board and reduce unnecessary costs and delays in the application process. 

The applicant is required to schedule at least one meeting with the review committee prior to formal application submission.  However, applicants are encouraged to meet with the land use staff and the review committee as early and often as they like throughout the formulation of a proposal.

Recognizing early in the design process what codes and regulations apply and what options are available to the applicant to reduce cost and improve the overall project is instrumental in designing the proposal and in submitting a complete and compliant application. 

Such discussions and review are not binding.  Land use staff and the review committee are not authorized to render decisions or make commitments on behalf of the Board but may offer comments and suggestions.

Please contact the Land Use Office (See: Links) for assistance with the application process.
