Planning Board

The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment are directed by RSA's 672 through 678.

The Planning Board has three roles, or spheres of activity:

1. The Planning Role, in which the board establishes a vision for the future of its community and identifies the steps necessary to achieve that vision;
2. The Legislative Role, in which the board proposes ordinances and enacts regulations - the rules by which to achieve the vision; and
3. The Regulatory Role, in which the board applies the ordinances and rules to specific situations in fulfillment of the vision.
