Large Project Review

What is Large Project Review?

Some projects in Areas of Special Planning Concern are required to have an advisory development consultation if they do not require a special permit from the Planning Board. For projects greater than 2,000 square feet, this advisory consultation is called a Large Project Review, and involves a meeting where the general public and city staff may view and comment on the proposed project. See Section 19.40 of the Zoning Ordinance for details.

Projects subject to Large Project Review may also fall under the Sustainable Design and Development requirements found in Article 22 of the Zoning Ordinance. For more information and details, see the Green Building Requirements page.
