The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission writes and enforces the town’s zoning and subdivision regulations, which enable the town to maintain its identity as a beautiful, historic, sparsely developed municipality. The commission also considers and reviews any special permit requests that residents may apply for, and makes a final decision whether or not to approve such requests.
The residents of Lyme elect the seven members of the P&Z Commission, who then serve for five-year terms. The current board members are:
- Bernie Gigliotti, Republican – Chairman
(Term expiration: November 18, 2025) - Carol House, Democrat
(Term expiration: November 18, 2025) - William T. Koch, Jr., Republican

(Term expiration: November 16, 2021) - David J. Tiffany, Republican
(Term expiration: November 16, 2021) - E. Hunter Ward, Republican
(Term expiration: November 21, 2023)
The alternate members, who serve in the event a board member is unable to attend a meeting, are:
- William J. Fiske, Republican
(Term expiration: November 2, 2021) - Mary Stone, Democrat
