What do I do if I wish to develop my property for a non-residential use or a multi-family development?

Property owners who wish to develop their property for non-residential or multi-family residential use should contact the Land Use Department at 603-476-2347 to schedule an initial consultation with the Town Planner. It is strongly recommended that property owners retain a professional surveying/engineering firm to assist with site plan and application preparation. After the initial consult, and following the property owner’s surveyor/engineer preparation of an approximately 60% design site plan using the Town’s Site Plan Review Regulations and Zoning Ordinance, a Technical Review Committee (TRC) meeting must be scheduled through the Land Use Department in order for Town Staff to review the plan for technical compliance and staff concerns. This step is necessary for efficiency and expediency as it reduces review time before the Planning Board and allows the Board to move on from the small details of technical requirements so they may focus on more important planning issues with each application. All development proposals must follow this TRC review step before coming before the Board.
