Responsibilities

The Planning Board is comprised of five regular members and two alternate members, all who are residents of the Town of York appointed by the Selectboard. The Board’s principal responsibilities are the review of subdivision and site plan applications to assure compliance with the Town’s Land Use Ordinances, Subdivision and Site Plan Regulations and the Comprehensive Plan, and the continuing review and amendment of the Town Land Use Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan.

Planning Board members shall not engage in communication by mail or email regarding active applications with any party: other Planning Board members, applicant, property owner, developer, neighbor, opponent, supporter, interested citizen, etc., except at Planning Board meetings. In the event that inadvertent communication with Planning Board members regarding an active Application does occur, Planning Board members shall immediately forward such communication to the Planning Director for distribution to the Applicant and all Planning Board members, and it shall be made a part to the public record.

We encourage you, the public, to use this important resource. We invite and urge you to keep abreast of Planning Board business by attending meetings and by speaking during the Public Input period which is the first item on every Planning Board meeting agenda.
