Burlington, Vermont Zoning Process
The City of Burlington Vermont Zoning Application process can be a bit challenging as per City Zoning Ordinance many projects will be required to be reviewed by the Design Advisory Board as well as the Development Review Board. The size of the project, historic designation and a number of other factors will determine what level of review is required. Some projects can be approved at a staff level.
For projects in Burlinton, one of the first steps of our design process is to do a project code study to see how City Zoning Ordinance may effect your project. Once we have prepared a site plan including setbacks, coverage and have estimated the gross proposed project area, we typically meet with a City Planner to discuss what is possible. This is a great way to ensure that planned design will work within the context of City Zoning Ordinance.
