    Standard versus Expedited Review: Generally, beginning ten (10) days before a meeting, petitions are automatically set to be reviewed for the next month’s meeting.  For the AAB, requesting Expedited review does not guarantee a project will be on a particular month.  Expedited review simply moves the project to the head of the line to be reviewed.

    *Due to variations between variance requests, no guarantees can be given to go before the Board in a certain month. Please be sure to follow all instructions on the petition form, or your submittal may be delayed.
