A draft of the City of Manchester’s new zoning ordinance is available for download here.  If adopted, this would be the City’s first new zoning ordinance in 23 years and just the fourth in the city’s history. 

For background on the ordinance, an explanation of how the ordinance works, and a description of public meetings happening this summer, click here to watch a presentation by Jeff Belanger, the City’s Director of Planning and Community Development. 

If you live in Manchester, please be on the lookout for a letter that will arrive in mailboxes on July 8 with information about public meetings in your area and a survey about how the city should develop in the future.
