Development Review Boards
Development Review Boards are local government panels responsible for evaluating proposed land use and building projects to ensure they align with community standards, zoning laws, and planning policies. They assess applications for new construction, renovations, or expansions, considering factors like safety, environmental impact, and neighborhood character. Their goal is to facilitate responsible development that benefits the community while maintaining quality of life. These boards typically include planners, community members, and officials who review proposals through public hearings and provide recommendations or approvals before projects proceed.
