Planning by Cape Towns
As of November 7, 2007
Each of the 15 towns on Cape Cod pursues local land use planning to some degree. Many, but not all, have town planning departments with professional planners on staff. Others function with planning boards and zoning boards of appeal made up of citizen volunteers. All towns have developed zoning bylaws, and many have prepared a Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) that describes existing and expected conditions and how growth management can be achieved.
The following list refers to local planning resources available on Cape town web sites. For information on any of the documents, please consult with staff members of that town.
