This legislation amends the Residential Districts ordinance by adding language regarding
residential driveways. The Community Development Division has provided a memo that
explains the purpose of this proposed change.
State statute (RSA 675:2) and NRO Section 190-132 require a public hearing and referral to the
city planning board. The public hearing is conducted by the aldermanic planning and economic
development committee with notice published in a newspaper of general circulation and posted
in two public places at least ten calendar days prior to the date of the hearing, (Notice period
does not include the day notice is posted or the day of the public hearing. RSA 675:7,1.) A
favorable vote of two-thirds of all the members of the board of aldermen present and voting
would be required if a protest petition is filed pursuant to RSA 675:5. Under RSA 676:12 and
NRO Section 105-3, no building permit may be issued after the legal notice has been posted if
the proposed changes would, if adopted, justify refusal of the permit. This limitation applies for a
period of 120 days.
