In order to better manage the increasing amount of paper-work and project reviews, the Planning Director will not be having office hours on Wednesday mornings, beginning on June 28th. The office is open and the Codes and Planning Administrative Assistant, Debby Labrecque, will be happy to schedule appointment times with Jim to help meet your needs.
We understand this may cause some confusion and inconvenience, but we believe it will help us manage the increasing workload better.

As a service to the public, we have created an e-mail address for the Bath Planning Board. planningboard@cityofbath.com. If at any time you wish to comment on a project, on a zoning matter, or for any other reason, you can use this address. These messages will be printed by staff in the Planning Office and delivered to all the Board members.
What we do:
The Planning Office, located on the third floor of historic City Hall, coordinates the planning functions for the City. We serve as staff to the Planning Board, help home owners and developers navigate their way through the Planning Board-review process, plan and carry out community development projects, and we help the community achieve its future goals.
Development Review:
The Planning Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month and often on the third Tuesday. Review and approval of development projects usually can be accomplished in only one meeting of the Board. Complete plans of projects need to be in the Planning Office three weeks before the meeting to allow for proper staff review. Applicants should meet with the Planning Director early in the plan-development stage to facilitate streamlined permitting.
