Description
5.13.2022 Land Use Committee
A
Good
morning,
everyone
welcome
to
our
may
13th
9
a.m:
land
use
committee
meeting:
I
call
you
all
to.
A
B
B
B
Sort
of
app
news
that
I
just
want
you
guys
to
be
aware
of
that
are
happening
up
there.
So.
B
Legislatively,
unfortunately,
there
is
not
a
lot
to
report.
There
were
about
eight
housing.
B
Bills
that
were
put
in
the
session
between
the
two
chambers-
and
you
know
sponsored.
B
Housing
developments
on
local
property
tax-
you
know
sort
of
some
ability
to
do
that
in
a.
B
B
Legislative
process,
so
that
might
yet
happen
this
year,
and
so
I
will
keep
you
guys
posted
on
that.
B
Piece
of
legislation
it
goes
to
committee
of
conference
next
week,
so
I
can
follow
up
with
an.
B
B
B
This
year,
so
that's,
unfortunately,
the
short
legislative
piece
that
is
there.
B
B
B
B
Expecting
that
to
be
completed
soon
in
june,
so
I
think
it's
later
than
that.
Oh
did
it
get
delayed.
A
A
B
Either
way,
I
still
think
it's
important,
even
if
we
have
them
this
year.
I
think
that's
a.
B
B
B
About
you
know
if
portsmouth
had
just
grown
one
percent
per
year
over
the
last
20
years,
that.
B
You
know
we'd
be
in
a
different
housing
prices
situation,
and
so
this
is
a
chance
to
kind
of.
B
You
know
put
some
more
concrete
numbers
to
that
high
system
and
so
that's
happening.
B
And
then
there's
also
an
effort
to
work
on
some
interesting
gis
overlay
projects.
And
you
know
your.
B
B
B
B
B
From
sort
of
a
planning
perspective,
you
know
at
the
state
level-
and
you
know
again
the.
B
That
number,
so
those
are
all
going
on
and
you
know
there
were
there
were
several
bills
that.
B
Made
it
all
the
way
into
the
house
and
and
looked
like
they
might
survive.
But
ultimately,
I
think.
B
This
year
has
just
been
a
tough
year
for
housing,
because
I
mean
the
political
concern
up
there.
B
Something
that
they
don't
want
to-
and
I
know
this
group
knows
you
know
that
it's
really.
B
Whether
it's
you
know
in
the
future,
through
sort
of
model
ordinances
or
you
know,
additional
work.
B
B
B
About
now
is
this
idea
that
there
would
be
a
reimbursement
for
additional
housing
units,
and
so.
B
It
would
be
kind
of
like
a
ten
thousand
dollar
per
unit
number
and
I
think
what
is
yet
to.
B
B
Put
meat
around
how
that
will
work,
and
I
think
that
is
still
outstanding.
So.
B
B
B
There's
five
million
dollars
in
there
for
sort
of
it's
that's
one
of
the
key
parts.
We
I
at
least.
A
A
A
B
B
I
think
there's
still
so
much
that
remains
to
be
seen.
I'm
happy
to
share
with
this
committee.
B
B
B
To
learn
so
and
then
I'm
just
trying
to
ask
too
just
about
because
we're
trying
to
anticipate
how.
C
C
C
Finance
authority,
who
does
this
all
the
time?
No,
and
I
agree
with
you
completely,
I
mean
there's
an.
B
Walkability
and
you
know-
proximity
to
schools
and
and
sort
of
how
the
income
levels
are
mixed.
B
C
C
Any
justification
for
how
they
made
that
those
decisions,
no-
and
you
know
I
think.
B
Pieces,
but
if
you
know
submitting
comment
or
or
doing
something
from
this
committee
is
something.
C
C
Money
is,
you
know,
that's
not
effective
right
when
we
have
the
kind
of
challenges
that
we
have.
C
Right
we
did
just
put
through
in
sort
of
the
last
minute
flurry
of
legislative
activity.
B
Existing
homeless
shelters,
so
I
think
that
captures
some
of
that.
But
yes,
I
have
heard.
B
Because
of
that
integrated
service
network
we
have
but
yeah
there's
some
more
to
do.
B
B
Is
the
now
called
office
of
planning
and
development
inside
of
bea
opd?
You
gotta
keep.
B
They
are
through
contract
and
then
cdfa
is
sort
of
involved
in
that
work,
and
the
hope
is
that.
B
That
there's
also
sort
of
this-
this
is
cdfa's
project
kind
of
you
know,
education
campaign.
B
That
we're
trying
to
accomplish
be
it.
You
know
making
sure
we
have
our
workforce
for
our
economy.
B
B
Like
you
know,
kids
in
school
substance
use
community
all
those
things,
and
so
I
think
that.
B
The
education
piece
across
the
state
is
something
that
kind
of
comes
out
of
this
gis
mapping.
D
E
Next
session,
when
things
come,
come
back
to
life,
so
to
speak,
there
were
several
some.
B
Good
some
bad.
So,
for
example,
we
were
able
to
successfully
stifle
another
attempt
to
repeal.
B
The
housing
appeals
board,
which
I
don't
know
how
much
you
guys
have
followed
that.
But
that's.
B
I
think
been
a
real
success.
So
far
there
have
been
11
cases
heard
and.
B
We
took
the
entire
bill
and
stuck
it
on
another
bill
in
the
senate.
It
got
tabled
in
the
house.
B
B
B
B
B
Cap
legislation
just
to
have
the
commission
and
then
I'm
trying
to
think
of
some
other
stuff
that.
B
B
Like
the
short-term
mental,
I
don't
know
if
you
need
it
here,
but
yeah
short-term,
rentals.
B
Luckily
didn't
make
it
through,
but
I
do
I
do
think
that
will
come
back
as
well,
and
so
I
don't
know.
B
B
Two
family
dwellings,
and
so
it
essentially
targeted
single-family,
neighborhoods
and.
B
B
B
For
example,
corporate
owned
airbnbs
and
then
we
sort
of
explored
this.
B
Sort
of
180
day
restriction
around
it
simply
because
there
were
not
the
votes.
B
Up
in
the
legislature
to
to
regulate
short-term
rentals,
where
you
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
north.
B
Country
or
in
the
lakes
region
really
want
the
ability
to
use
short-term
rentals
and
are
just.
B
We
maintain
our
neighborhoods
and
our
residents
here,
so
that
was
a
very
interesting
issue.
B
A
A
A
All
right
moving
on,
we,
I
had
emailed
you
guys
all
yesterday
and
if
you
don't
have.
A
Any
I
did
print
and
put
some
copies
up
there
regarding
our
public
involvement
process.
A
F
So
the
staff
has
been
assisting
me
on
putting
together
a
plan
for
public
involvement.
A
Phase
2
the
accessory
dwellings
and
the
assisted
living
aspect.
A
I
can
work
with
staff
to
actually
set
that
up
also
want
to
yeah
in
that
stakeholder
list.
That's.
A
That
and
what
kind
of
information
types
of
information
so
the
other
thing
we
need
to
think.
A
A
A
A
A
A
Specific
things,
whether
it
be
in
specific
stakeholders
for
specific
parties,
I
was,
if
I.
E
Can
just
add
to
the
stakeholder
group,
I
think
it
might
be
good
to
have
real
estate
agents.
E
That
no
without
using
the
adu,
that
would
be
easy
for
me.
I
know
many
I
figured
you
might
so.
E
A
D
A
D
D
D
Speak,
I
also
think
that's
been
pointed
before
sometimes
there's
there's
a
disconnect
between.
F
Those
two
people,
even
when
they're
working
together,
you
don't
mean
so
I
think
no.
F
A
Housing
people
from
like
the
seacoast
workforce,
housing
group,
like
the
nick
taylors
and
the
ben.
A
A
A
I
I
also
had
mentioned-
and
I
don't
know
about
because
she
we
had
talked
a
lot
about.
A
A
My
neighborhood
islington
creek
neighborhood,
we
have
a
sort
of
informal
association
and.
A
A
F
Sustainability
and
for
you
know,
climate
impact
of
development.
I
think
that
that
is.
F
Obviously,
we
know
climate
change
sea
level.
You
know
greener
buildings
affecting
what.
A
F
The
I
just
met
this
woman,
I
believe
her
name
is
tara.
She
works
for
the
state
and
conservation
and.
F
A
F
Same
of,
like
developers,
architects,
engineers,
do
you
know
what
I
mean.
A
Adus
and
assisted
living,
okay,
work,
piece
senior
phase:
three
is
all
those
incentives
yeah
which.
A
Sense,
maybe
if
this
might
help
possibly,
I
think
what
you're
saying
what
you're
saying
as
well.
D
A
A
A
A
F
E
Correct
yep
yep
on
on
the
list
for
former
applicants,
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
break.
G
G
G
We'll
have
to
call
out,
through
the
the
40
applications
and
obviously
out
of
the
40,
probably.
G
G
A
A
Of
different
code
aspects
that
we
want
to
sort
of
attack
for
rent
review
and
changes
and
phase.
A
A
A
The
list
I'm
happy
to
send
it
to
you.
It's
the
whole
entire
work
plan
has
gone
through.
A
And
has
already
had
a
work
session
on
phase
one
right
phase,
one
which
is
really
mostly
just.
A
A
Exactly
but
so
yeah
so
we're
we're
talking
about
bringing
people
together
to
talk
about.
A
A
That's
why
I
put
in
the
stake
holder
group
to
talk
to
the
people
like
the
nick
taylor,
who's
part.
A
Of
he's
the
executive
director
of
workforce
housing,
the
seacoast
workforce,
housing
group.
A
A
D
D
D
Of
from
the
developer
design
perspectives,
policy
matters
are
separate,
but
I
think
we
need
to.
D
Given
this
rather
aggressive
timeline,
which
I
support,
we've
got
to
get
moving
on
getting.
A
A
A
C
My
opinion
is
that
it's
a
it's
mysterious
to
developers
who
don't
have
any
experience
with
it.
C
C
A
A
E
E
E
All
the
chefs
and
everyone's
gearing
up
for
the
summer,
you
know,
and
some
restaurants
have
more.
E
E
Are
starting
to
live,
you
know,
and
I
know
that's
how
originally
portsmouth
got
these
great.
E
E
Awesome
that
became
the
place
to
hang
out,
but,
but
so
I
would
hate
to
you
know
just.
F
I
sounds
like
that's
really.
What
we
need
to
try
to
do
in
that
phase
is.
A
A
A
C
D
What
are
you
going
to
call
them
to
these
groups
pretty
soon
to
get
this
rolling
correct,
so
I'll.
A
A
A
A
D
A
A
A
E
A
E
A
G
G
G
A
A
Can
I
can
handle
that
I
can
find
time
all
right,
so
we
have
at
least
four
moderators
now.
One
reason.
C
C
A
A
A
E
A
A
C
Everything
you
provided
the
data
that
you
provided
was
really
really
really
helpful
to
that.
So.
C
It's
not
ready
for
your
public
consumption,
but
it's
gonna.
Let
you
wait
till
you're
ready
to.
G
C
Actually
shrunk,
which
kind
of
makes
sense,
so
we're
we're
going
the
wrong
way
in
terms
of.
C
G
C
C
G
G
Of
the
previous
five
years
before
2017,
many
of
them
haven't
been
built,
there's
still
about
500.
G
Units
that
are
pending
300
and
something
under
appeal
that
have
been
approved
or
partially.
G
Approved
so
there's
a
lot
of
new
housing
being
produced
here.
It's
not
creating
workforce.
G
G
G
G
G
A
A
H
Street
and
thank
you,
chair
committee
members
for
giving
me
a
chance
to
speak.
We
appreciate
it.
H
H
H
H
H
The
as
I've
tried
to
educate
myself,
oh
just
one
other
thing
that
probably
supports.
H
Way
or
another
in
in
their
government,
and
so
as
I've
kind
of
educated
myself,
I've
I've
seen
that.
H
The
constellation
of
land
use
committees,
three
quasi-judicial
two
advisory,
I'm
not
sure
where
he.
H
Put
demolition
but
because
I
guess
that
would
make
six
it's
a
it's
a
black
box
for
for
most.
H
Residents
and
that
a
great
example
of
that
was
the
was
a
savaging
of
the
historic
district.
H
Commission
yesterday
on
social
media,
after
the
dunkin
donuts
thing
and
and
you
see
that.
H
And
that
is
no
edge
and
no
place
to
educate
david
adams
and,
let's
see
tom
emerson,
martin.
H
To
educate
people
in
in
social
media,
so
that's
one
of
the
things
I'll
I'll
get
on
to
in
in.
H
Just
a
second,
so
our
we
acknowledge
the
reality
that
citizens
are
busy
and
that
that
these
days.
H
There
are
so
many
calls
for
our
attention
in
life
that
it's
very
difficult
to
find
time
to.
H
Take
part
in
in
a
meeting
like
this
or
follow
the
all
the
detailed
information
about
land
use.
H
Land,
the
the
aggregate
decisions
the
land
use
boards
make.
Of
course,
it's
just
like
so
important.
H
Because
you
literally
shape
the
city,
you
know
so
it's
it's
something
that
I
think
it
would
be.
H
Good
to
get
people
more
involved
in
and
we're
looking
at
ways
of
using
things
like.
H
Got
my
progress,
sportsman
hat
on
is,
as
we
develop
this
material,
which
would
be
over
time.
H
H
So
the
second
thing
was
about
citizen
outreach
by
by
this
committee.
So-
and
I
didn't.
H
H
Email
blasts
that
that
include
timestamp
versions
of
meetings
like
this
city
council.
H
And
out
get
the
information
without
having
to
sit
through
for
a
three
four
five
hour
meeting.
H
So
so
we're
very
much
into
that
educational
aspect
of
it
and
perhaps
that's
the
as.
H
H
To
inform
your
policy
making,
and
so
I
would
just
say
perhaps,
to
put
on
your
radar
the
idea
of.
H
Pushing
out
information
too,
you
know,
in
addition
to
meeting
schedules,
legal
notices
and
so
on.
H
A
little
more
attention
to
what's
going
on
in
in
the
land
use
process
so
that
that's
I
take.
H
My
progress,
portsmouth
hat
on
now
gerald
duffy,
resident
and
taxpayer,
and
I
you
know,
as
I.
H
H
H
Kind
of
disturbed
me
where
the
planning
board,
not
there's
no
accusations
involved
here,
but.
H
It's
more
observations
and
kind
of
walked
in
real
time
into
a
lawsuit
by
by
granting
a
rehearing.
H
And
so
you
know
for
me
as
a
resident
taxpayer,
it's
that's
disturbing
because
the
city
is
being.
H
Being
spent,
and
possibly
eventually,
money
in
this
case,
the
the
applicant
actually
in
the
lawsuit.
H
Is
asking
very
unusually
for
attorney
fees
and
they
asked
for
declaratory
rulings.
H
H
There
are
some
external
mechanisms
for
for
questioning
decisions
by
individual.
H
Seems
to
me
that
that
members
should
should
be
kept
to
their
roles
and
responsibilities.
H
H
Yes,
you
know,
life
works
a
lot
better
when
you
try
and
get
to
yes,
so
and-
and
I
you
know
you
so.
H
H
Decisions
why
why
are
you
making
these
decisions
so
as
board
members
make
decisions,
it's
it's.
H
H
Previous
decision
that
would
justify
a
re-hearing,
and
I
and
I
didn't
so
what
else
I
think.
H
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
of
the
time.
There's
yeah,
I
mean
part
of
part
of
what.
H
The
former
mayor,
you
know,
is
very
open
about
this.
To
his
credit,
he
saw
appointments
land.
H
And
which
I
think
kind
of
is
not
a
legitimate
use
of
the
land
use
boards,
but
that
that
reality.
H
Is
there
so
so
my
you
know
my
question
and
I
know
it's
not
an
easy
one
to
address
is
how.
H
How
do
we,
how
do
we
do
due
diligence
in
this
process
and
make
sure
that
the
boards.
H
Are
meeting
these
standards
and
requirements
of
their
roles
and
responsibilities.
H
Oh
and
I
just
had
one
piece
of
feedback
on
the
because
I
had
to
change
gears
here
on
the
public.
H
Group
of
residents-
I
I
wrote
an
op-ed
about
the
micro
unit
project
that
didn't
work
out
on.
H
Court
street-
and
these
are
this-
is
a
group
that
are
prospective
residents.
H
Right
they're
not
living
in
in
town
now,
they're
they're
working
at
the
rest.
H
A
kind
of
a
group
of
people
that
you
might
talk
to
you
know
they
in
terms
of.
H
H
H
I
believe
the
city
is
aiming
to
accommodate
this,
this
tier
of
residents,
potential
residents,
but.
H
I
The
what
I
perceive
as
the
the
idea
of
of
this
board
versus
attacking
the
planning
board.
I
I'd
also
like
to
thank
mr
welch
welch
is
that
right.
Thank
you
for
mentioning.
I
You'll
explore
that,
as
you
know,
as
you
begin
to
talk
about
adus,
because
I
I
don't
want
it
to.
I
I
I
know
there's
a
perception
out
there
that
that's.
You
know
that
that's
the
way
it
is,
but
anyway.
I
I
A
G
G
G
G
G
A
A
A
A
I
I
I
Going
to
be
putting
you
know,
apartments
on
their
houses
and
they're
going
to
be
affordable.
