Roles & Responsibilities of Land Use Commissions

The Roles and Responsibilities of Land Use Commissions workshop is a part of CLEAR's Land Use Academy (see note below). Upon occasion, it may also be taught as a standalone class. This workshop examines the duties, options and interactions of local land use commissions, including planning, zoning, appeals, conservation, inland wetlands and economic development. Emphasis is on the enabling legislation behind the commissions, as well as significant court cases that affect decision-making.

Note: The Land Use Academy includes three core courses and is taught in a day-long conference-style event. The training is offered four times annually in locations around the state and also includes NEMO's Map Reading for Site Plan Review workshop and Legal Requirements and Procedures of Land Use Decision Making (given by members of the CT Bar Association).

The Land Use Academy is the state's official certification program for basic education for local land use officials.

As a standalone workshop it is free of charge and is 2-3 hours long. Contact Jim Gibbons at jim.gibbons@uconn.edu or call (860) 345-4511 to set up a workshop.
