The Development Review Board's meetings are open to the public and are typically held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the City Hall Auditorium at 180 Market Street.
Land use in the city is governed by the South Burlington Land Development Regulations (the city's zoning and subdivision regulations), together with the Official Map and the City Code of Ordinances. Long-range policy is set by the City Plan, which is adopted every eight years by the City Council; the current version is City Plan 2024.
