The Stamford Planning Commission agreed to host a presentation on December 8 from BCRC (regional commission) and to review the Development Review Board/DRB process. The chair (S2) asked commissioners to look into the pros and cons so the commission can decide whether the DRB/DRP process fits local needs.
Commission members noted the DRB/DRP model can streamline permitting by combining review steps; one member said communities that have adopted the system reported time savings, but commissioners also acknowledged the town’s smaller scale may limit gains. The commission asked staff to coordinate with BCRC contact Kelly Ashburn and to prepare summary materials before the December meeting.
