350-11 Site Plan Approval
350-11.4 Requirements. These requirements are superimposed over any other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance. The Building Commissioner may not issue any building or zoning permits
for any intermediate or major projects until the site plan has been approved by the Planning Board through a simple majority vote of the members present. The site plan process shall
be conducted by the Planning Board in conformance with the filing, review and public hearing requirements for a special permit, except in the case of alternative energy research and
development (R&D) and manufacturing facilities, as defined in the Green Communities Act. Editor's Note: See Acts of 2008, Ch. 169. For alternative energy R&D and/or manufacturing, review
periods are guaranteed not to exceed one year from the date of initial application to the date of final Board action. Said applications shall be reviewed within 45 days, and the applicants
will be notified of what additional submissions are necessary to meet this one-year final action deadline. The Planning Board shall use the criteria of § 350-11.6 for approving or disapproving
the site plan. As with special permits, any appeal of a site plan decision by the Planning Board shall be made in accordance with MGL c. 40A, § 17.
§ 156-6. Central Business architecture permit process.
Except for activities exempted above, no building or structure within the Central Business Architecture District shall be constructed, altered, or demolished in any way without a central
business architecture permit from the Central Business Architecture Committee issued in accordance with this chapter, nor, without such a permit, shall such activities be issued a building
permit or demolition permit. (See also MGL c. 143, § 3A.)
MASS 8th BUILDING CODE
SECTION 108 TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AND USES
108.1 General. The building official is authorized to issue a permit for temporary structures and temporary uses. Such permits shall be limited as to time of service, but shall not be
permitted for more than 180 days. The building official is authorized to grant extensions for demonstrated cause.
In the course of construction or other activities, structures that have a limited service life are often necessary. This section contains the administrative provisions that permit such
temporary structures without full compliance with the code requirements for permanently occupied structures. This section should not be confused with the scope of Section 3103, which
regulates temporary structures larger than 120 square feet (11 m2) in area. This section allows the building official to issue permits for temporary structures or uses. The applicant
must specify the time period desired for the temporary
structure or use, but the approval period cannot exceed 180 days. Structures or uses that are temporary but are anticipated to be in existence for more than 180 days are required to
conform to code requirements for permanent structures and uses. The section also authorizes the building official to grant extensions to this time period if the applicant can provide
a valid reason for the extension, which typically includes circumstances beyond the applicant’s control. This provision is not intended to be used to circumvent the 180-day limitation.
