3. Special exceptions and zoning amendments

Harvard Law School Library

In theory, they should all have to conform to the general development plan or the plan itself should have to be changed; practice is somewhat more messy. This section provides only a brief introduction to the relevant concepts. A class in land use law or local government will provide substantially more detail.
