’21 Zoning Article 5 – Definition of “Porch”

Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 4 as proposed by the Planning Board for the Hampton Zoning Ordinance as follows?

Amend Article I – General. Section 1.6 Definitions to add a new “porch” definition.

Amend Article II – Districts. Section 2.3.7 C-4 of the Wetlands Conservation District Ordinance to clarify that porches are included in the 12-foot dwelling structure setback from the Wetlands Conservation District.

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

Purpose: To add a definition for “porch” and to specify Wetlands Conservation District applicability.

Overview: The Zoning Ordinance currently does not include the term “porch”. This Article defines the term in Section 1.6 as: A covered area adjoining an entrance to a building, usually with a separate roof from the rest of the building; Having a floor, and it may be open or partially enclosed on the sides not adjoining the building; Part of the building, and not permitted in the 12-foot dwelling structure setback from the Wetlands Conservation District. Section 2.3.7 C-4 is also modified to clarify that porches are included in the 12-foot dwelling structure setback from the Wetland Conservation District.
