Definition:
A Concept Plan is a flexible plan type that allows applicants to get staff and Development Review Committee (DRC) input on various details of a proposed project. Applicants have the freedom to submit with whatever level of detail they’d like in order to get feedback on any number of issues.
Forest Conservation:
Forest Conservation does not need to be addressed before submitting a Concept Plan.
Development Review Committee (DRC):
Concept Plans go to DRC.
Decision Type:
Concept Plans are not ruled upon by the Planning Board or any other agency, as they are intended only to provide DRC feedback to the applicant.
Fees:
Concept Plans are free and have no fee.
Review Time:
DRC is typically held between 3 and 5 weeks after intake acceptance.
Amendments:
Concept Plans may not be amended. You may only change the results of a Concept Plan with a new Concept Plan.
