Development Review Board

Development Review Board (DRB)
Although members of the DRB are appointed by the Select Board, the DRB’s mission and procedures are defined by State Statute, Hinesburg’s land use regulations, and the DRB’s own Rules of Procedure. For details, see VT State Statute Title 24, Chapter 117, Sections 4460-4464 (available online).

The role of the DRB is to hear and review applications for development under the applicable regulations. Ultimately, the purpose behind the development review process is to help achieve the community’s vision through sensible and well-planned development. The community’s vision is expressed broadly in the Town Plan, and codified with regard to new development in specific land use regulations – Zoning Regulations, Subdivision Regulations, Official Map, etc.
