Architectural Design Review committee
The Architectural Design Review Committee (ADRC) is a subcommittee of the Planning Board. They advise the Board on the design of architecture, lighting, landscaping, site layout, and signage.
The ADRC comprises Concord residents with expertise in architecture, graphic design, landscape architecture, and historic preservation. The Planning Board relies on the ADRC to help improve the appearance of Concord’s built environment, and often incorporates ADRC recommendations as conditions of design review approval.
Architectural Design Review is a requirement for the following applications and/or permits:
- Major Site Plans
- Cluster Subdivisions
- Building permit applications for exterior alterations within the performance districts
- Sign permits as required by Section 28-6-9(f) of the Zoning Ordinance
- Manufactured housing parks requiring conditional use permits
Applicants may request a preliminary consultation with the ADRC prior to filing a formal application. Please contact the Planning Division to schedule a preliminary consultation with the ADRC.
The ADRC page includes the ADRC member list, agendas, and minutes from recent meetings.
