NOTICE OF FINAL PUBLIC HEARING ON ZONING ORDINANCE

The Groton Planning Board will hold a hearing to take public comment on a proposed zoning ordinance. The time and place of the hearing is Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at 7:00 PM, Groton Town Offices, 754 N. Groton Rd, Groton NH 03241. A Weather related cancellation will re-schedule the hearing to 7:00 PM Thursday, January 31, 2019. Additional cancellation, where necessary, sets the hearing for Monday, February 4, 2019 at 7:00 PM.

At any time before the hearing, you may submit written comments, directed to the planning board’s attention

The effect of the proposed zoning will be to repeal existing zoning by adopting an ordinance, which establishes zoning districts and uses within each district (Rural Residential, Forestry and Conservation, Renewable Energy and Forestry and a Floodplain & Aquifer Overlay), sets Dimensional Requirements and creates Performance Standards to protect property values, natural resources and the environment.

Compliant with the requirement of RSA 675:7 § II, you may review the zoning proposal in the Town Clerk's office during regular business hours.

Please see the Planning Board tab for a notice to the residents from the Planning Board, the draft of the complete zoning ordinance and the fact sheets.

Thank you,

Groton Planning Board
