Longer-form draft.
During the June 25 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting, a significant discussion took place regarding the future of zoning ordinances in Hollis. While the meeting included standard business, the board spent considerable time discussing the high legal bar for proving 'hardship'—a distinction that determines whether a property owner can be granted a variance. The board noted that current zoning gaps, specifically regarding how driveways are placed, often lead to setback encroachment issues. To address this, the board is planning a joint session with the Planning Board this fall (likely September or October) to review formal proposals and ensure local ordinances align with recent state-level legislative changes. These are not just procedural updates; these discussions could lead to new rules governing how residents utilize their land and how much flexibility is allowed for property improvements. We will continue to monitor the development of these formal proposals as they are drafted for the fall session. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/zoning-board-of-adjustment/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
