The Development Review Board serves as an impartial body responsible for evaluating and making decisions on some land use applications including major subdivisions, conditional uses, waivers and variances. Those decisions are guided by the Middlesex Land Use & Development Regulations and the Town Plan.
The Zoning Administrator, who serves as the first point of contact for property owners, reviews and issues permits for most development projects while referring major subdivisions, variances, conditional uses and waivers to the Development Review Board for consideration.
The Development Review Board is committed to a transparent decision-making process that provides clear explanations of how decisions are made and ensures that all materials related to the development application are accessible to the public.
