1.5.17  Site Plans

A site plan is a map of a proposed development or subdivision. The plan usually is submitted as part of an application for a zoning change, variance, or conditional use permit. A community may also prepare a site plan for a new park or a small scale project. Site plans are also undertaken by communities as a way to shape new developments or encourage a certain style of land use.
