’21 Zoning Article 3 – Professional Office – Residential District Amendment

Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 2 as proposed by the Planning Board for the Hampton Zoning Ordinance as follows?

Amend Article II- Districts. Section 2.7 D Professional Office / Residential District (Height, Setback and Area Regulations) to clarify the applicability of the front, side, and rear setback requirements for this zoning district. Also, to add new requirements for the minimum lot area per dwelling unit (5,000 square feet), the maximum number of dwelling units per structure (8), minimum frontage (100 feet for any lots created after the enactment of this amendment), and maximum impervious coverage per lot (75%), as these are standard dimensional requirements currently missing from this Section of the Zoning Ordinance.

What it means: The following is taken from materials presented at Deliberative Session:

Purpose: To clarify Professional Office/Residential District setbacks and establish missing requirements.

Overview: This Article improves upon the existing confusing language in Section 2.7 D (2) through (4). Instead of stating “all other residential dwelling structures” and referring to other subsections, the ordinance will now clearly spell out the pertinent uses (in this case, two-family and multi-family). Although the POR District currently includes height, setback, and minimum lot area requirements, it lacks a number other standard dimensional requirements. This Article also establishes requirements for minimum lot area per dwelling unit, maximum number of dwelling units per structure, minimum frontage, and maximum impervious coverage.
