Sketch Plan

Purpose

The purpose of a sketch plan is to publicly review a large development for general consistency with the land development regulations (LDRs) at a preliminary, conceptual level of detail before the development is fully designed and prior to submission of a development plan.

When Is This Required?

A sketch plan is required for physical development that exceeds the thresholds for project size or number of units specified in each zone district.

Process

  • How Long: Up to 150 days after application deemed sufficient
  • Who Decides:
    • Recommendation: Planning Commission
    • Final Decision: Town Council

Helpful Tips

  • Your project will be reviewed by several departments in addition to Planning, so when drafting your project description/narrative please provide as much detail pertaining to existing site conditions (i.e. lot size, existing development, etc.) and proposed physical changes (i.e. scale of development, setbacks, parking, and affordable housing).
  • Provide a detailed chart noting exactly how the proposed project is consistent with the various physical development standards found within the zoning district for which the project is located.

  • The Notarized Letter of Authorization is needed when the Applicant is not the the owner of the property.
