Londonderry ZBA Meeting Update: April 15, 2026
During the recent Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting, several decisions were made that impact the character of our local neighborhoods. Most notably, the board granted special exceptions for the construction of two new single-family homes at 20 and 22 Butrick Road. Because these are located in the C3 zoning district—typically reserved for commercial and mixed-use development—this decision represents a continued shift toward residential use in those zones.
There were also notable moments regarding board administration. When a resident inquired about the candidate information for ZBA alternates for the upcoming April 20th meeting, board members admitted they were not aware the information had been posted. This raises questions about how well the board is staying informed on the very leadership changes that will govern future decisions.
While the meeting was largely routine, a split vote occurred during the approval of the March 18 meeting minutes, with one member voting against the approval. We will continue to monitor these proceedings to ensure our zoning decisions remain transparent and consistent with town planning.
