Longer-form draft.
At the July 7 Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) meeting, several decisions were made that directly impact Goffstown residents and the future of our local zoning enforcement. First, the Board engaged in a substantive discussion regarding the need to clarify zoning definitions for multi-family housing, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and home occupations. This discussion, which included plans for a joint meeting with the Planning Board to address 'gray areas' in the ordinance, was not listed on the public agenda. When the rules governing land use and housing are being re-evaluated, residents deserve prior notice so they can participate in the conversation. Additionally, the Board approved a variance for ZAK LLC to allow overnight dog boarding at a commercial facility. While the Board moved forward with the approval, neighbors expressed specific concerns regarding trash management, odors, and light pollution. In a second case, the Board granted variances to Sarette Brothers Inc. to move a business from a residence to a detached structure on an agricultural lot, a move that effectively bypasses the stricter regulations typically applied to 'home occupations.' We will continue to monitor how these decisions move through the Planning Board and how the proposed ordinance clarifications affect our community. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/zoning-board-of-adjustment/2026-07-07/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
