Commercial Development
Commercial Development Checklist
The City of Mayflower welcomes new commercial development to our city. We want to make navigating the process for developers and builders as easy as possible and developed this checklist to assist.
#1 - Confirm Zoning and Overlay District Applicability
Identify the zoning for your land and confirm the Mayflower zoning ordinances allow for the type of project you are looking to develop.
Check both the city zoning regulations and the Heart of Mayflower overlay districts for zoning rules. The overlay districts are in addition to zoning provided for in city ordinances for some parts of the city.
If your project does not meet zoning requirements then you cannot proceed. You may, however, fill out an rezoning application and petition the Planning Commission for rezoning. This is not a guarantee but it is an option available.
