How to Submit a Site Plan Application

Whether you're building something new, expanding an existing structure, or changing how a property is used, you may need Site Plan Review from the Town of LeRay Planning Board. Don’t worry—we’re here to guide you through it.

📌 What Is a Site Plan?

A Site Plan is a detailed drawing and written explanation of how a piece of land will be used. It shows things like:

• Buildings or additions

• Driveways, parking, and traffic flow

• Landscaping and lighting

• Stormwater drainage

• Utilities and signage

  
  

It helps the Planning Board ensure your project meets local zoning and environmental requirements while preserving safety, access, and community character.

🧭 Do You Need Site Plan Review?

You’ll likely need to submit a Site Plan Application if you’re:

• Constructing a new commercial or multifamily building

• Expanding a residential or commercial structure

• Changing the use of a property (e.g., from residential to business)

• Adding parking areas, storage, or other significant site features

  
  

Not sure? Contact the Planning & Zoning Office before you get too far—we’re happy to help you figure it out.
