What happens after I file an application?

Based on the information in the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), a legal notice is submitted to The Cape Cod Times. Hearing notifications are mailed to abutters. Plans and other materials are made available, so that the public can see the information filed with the ZBA online (search properties by street address). Paper copies of application materials are provided to Board Members, so they can review the information prior to and during the hearing.
