Reviews that may apply

Newburyport Historic District (National Register, listed 1984) · Demolition Control Overlay District (DCOD) · Parcel 24-75-A · Zone R2

  1. Zoning Board of Appeals may decide

    In the DCOD. Whether removing more than 25% of the exterior walls needs a DCOD special permit depends on the building’s status in the 1984 National Register nomination, which this site has not matched for this lot yet; the Office of Planning and Development keeps the list.

    Zoning Ordinance §XXVIII-D.3 ↗

  2. Newburyport Historical Commission usually not involved

    Built c. 1970, so under 75 years old until 2045. The demolition delay ordinance applies only if part of the building is 75 or more years old (100 for an accessory structure), it is listed on the National Register, or the Commission has designated it significant.

    Code of Ordinances ch. 5 art. X, §§5-307–5-308 (June 2026) ↗

  3. Zoning Administrator first stop

    Every project starts with a zoning determination from the Zoning Administrator, which says which of these reviews apply and whether the work also needs zoning relief (a special permit for a non-conformity, or a variance). Fees, forms and filing deadlines are on the City’s site.

Says what the ordinances say as of September 30, 2026; the Zoning Administrator decides what applies.
