The purpose of this amendment is to address the desires of the Town concerning its historic villages as outlined in the 2021 Master Plan Update. The intent of the creation of Village Overlay Districts is, among other things, (1) to implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the 2021 Master Plan for housing, economic development, and the protection of neighborhood character, (2) to protect the historic character in the areas designated as Sutton Village Overlay Districts, (3) to encourage flexibility of design and to provide an efficient permitting process, and (5) to encourage the reuse of existing under-utilized buildings. This proposed Ordinance Article will not create any specific Village Overlay Districts. A copy of the proposed Ordinance article is posted on the Town of Sutton webpage (sutton-nh.org) and is available at the Sutton Town Hall. You are invited to appear in person or be represented by an agent or counsel to provide input to the Planning Board regarding the proposed amendments.
