LEGISLATIVE YEAR 2021
ORDINANCE: Q-21-049
PURPOSE: Amending the Conservation Subdivisions Supplemental Use
Regulations
SPONSOR(S): Mayor Jim Donchess
COMMITTEE Planning and Economic Development Committee
ASSIGNMENT: Nashua Planning Board
FISCAL NOTE: None.
ANALYSIS
This legislation amends the Conservation Subdivisions Supplemental Use Regulations by adding
language that permits more than one principal structure on a lot. The Community Development
Division has provided a memo that explains the purpose of this proposed change in detail.
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.
