This workshop is targeted to municipal staff and local boards who review applications for projects seeking a comprehensive permit under G.L Chapter 40B. Topics will include the following: reviewing the initial application for completeness and compliance with state and local requirements; conducting a site visit; managing the public hearing process; retaining peer review consultants; making an informed decision consistent with the local needs provided for in the statute; drafting and issuing the comprehensive permit decision; and working with developers, abutters, and other interested parties.
Comprehensive projects that trigger the checklist for Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) are subject to review by the MVC, in addition to the requirements of Chapter 40B. How these two separate processes interrelate will also be discussed.
Workshop instructor Judi Barrett of Barrett Planning Group assisted developing affordable housing production plans for Vineyard towns.
Questions about attending the workshop should be directed to MVC Senior Planner Bill Veno [email protected].
