About the Board
The Zoning Board of Adjustment, a quasi-judicial board, has the duty to hear and decide appeals in the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance. The duties of the Zoning Board of Adjustment are outlined fully in RSA 674:33 and 674:33(a). The four categories of hearings that are brought before the Zoning Board of Adjustment are special exceptions, equitable waivers of dimensional requirements, appeals on an administrative decision and variances. Further descriptions of each of these types of hearings are outlined in "The Board of Adjustment in New Hampshire, A Handbook for Local Officials" - http://www.nh.gov/oep/planning/resources/zoning-board-handbook.htm
Charter Description:
"There shall be a Zoning Board of Adjustment appointed by the Council, consisting of five (5) members each serving a three-year term and three (3) alternates each serving a three-year term. Such terms shall be staggered. The Council shall fill any vacancy for the period of the unexpired term. The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall have all the powers granted to such boards under state law.”
