Planning Board

The Planning Board is a 5-member board appointed by the Monroe Town Board. To qualify, a Planning Board member must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the Town of Monroe (which can include residency in one of its Villages). Each member must satisfy a training requirement of four hours annually in an eligible planning-related education session.

The Planning Board is responsible primarily for reviewing development applications for subdivisions, site plans, special use permits and freshwater wetland permits in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Town of Monroe Code and New York State Town Law, and ensures that each application complies with the regulations implementing the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act. The Planning Board also has historic preservation and architectural review authority. The Planning Board coordinates its review with the Monroe Environmental Conservation Commission, the Town Board, and the Zoning Board of Appeals as needed.

Planning Board members attend two evening meetings per month, and are required to review the submissions before the Board.
