NH STRATHAM — Stratham Planning Board approves zoning amendments for cluster developments. The board unanimously approved amendments to Section VIII of the zoning ordinance, removing multi-family housing language and clarifying that residential cluster projects may consist of single-family dwellings, duplexes, or combinations of both. The minimum duplex frontage requirement was increased to 100 feet to match single-family standards.
In a separate vote, the board unanimously approved updates to the Planning Board's Rules of Procedure with a new fee schedule for Special Event Permits, to be forwarded to the Select Board for adoption. The Citizens Bank site plan amendment application at 36 Portsmouth Avenue was continued to February 4 to address incomplete application items.
