  Planning and Community Development Minimize
 
 
Director
Leon LaFreniere
On March 1, 2009 the Building and Planning Departments were merged into one department called the Planning and Community Development Department (PCD). This will provide a smoother application process for developers, contractors and homeowners alike in that it will allow for “one-stop-shopping”.  The Planning and Community Development Department can be reached at 603-624-6450.

As of October 17, 2011, and as part of our continued effort to improve the customer experience, we have consolidated the customer service functions for both the Planning and Building Regulations divisions of our department into one central location (formerly the Building Department). PCD is still located on the second floor of City Hall, West Wing and hours of operation continue to be 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. A consolidated customer service area will allow for a more efficient process, eliminating the need to visit separate locations for service.

This year, the Planning & Community Development Department is implementing submission deadlines for applications to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.  The monthly deadlines are listed on the 2012 Planning & Zoning Calendar.  The deadlines are being implemented to allow time for staff review, abutter research and public notification, as required by State Statute.

You may submit ZBA applications to the Department at any time; however, if a complete application package is not received by the deadline indicated on the calendar, the application will roll over to the following month.
