The City received a petition dated August 31, 2021, for submittal to the Board of
Aldermen requesting that the Board consider rezoning relative to Gateway Hills. The Petitioner
also submitted $900 for a filing fee, see NRO 190-267, A(4). Additional fees may be required
under 190-267, A(6), regarding abutter notifications as any zoning change that affects less than
100 properties requires abutter notification, see RSA 675:7 I-a.
It appears the petition was submitted pursuant to NRO 190-276.
NRO 190-132 contains the City’s procedures for zoning amendments. The ordinance
requires a referral to the Planning Board and the Aldermanic Planning and Economic
Development Committee (PEDC). PEDC is required to conduct a public hearing with prior
notice to the public.
It is the opinion of this office that petitions to the Board of Aldermen do not expire with
the end of the session.
