Site plan review and approval is governed by the Protective Bylaw, Chapter
125, §
125-38, Site plans, and is required for any commercial or business use and most institutional uses as described in Chapter
125, §
125-12,
125-13 and
125-14, uses subject to a special permit, driveways more than 300 feet in centerline length as described in Chapter
125, §
125-39B, other uses subject to Chapter
125, §
125-39, Site standards, or other use as provided for in the Bylaw.
A public hearing is not required for site plan review or approval,
although the review must be included in the Board's agenda and
in any particular instance the Board may choose to solicit public
comment.
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Board, whether or
not previously a party to the proceeding, may appeal in accordance
with Mass. General Laws.
Where site plan approval is required, the Building Inspector
shall issue a building permit only on receipt of an approved site
plan, and any other related approvals from other boards that might
be tied to a site plan approval shall be conditional upon an approved
site plan. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until all
improvements required by an approved site plan have been provided.
