An update to the City of Somersworth’s Land Use & Natural Resources Master Plan is underway and picking up speed!
On February 27th, Regional Planner Autumn Scott met with the Conservation Commission to discuss progress on implementation of the existing plan’s action items. Next week, the group will meet again, this time with Senior Planner Lisa Murphy to discuss progress on implementation of the 2016 Natural Resources Assessment recommendation, and to engage in a goal-setting workshop. On March 20th, the group will join the Planning Board to begin crafting a vision for the chapter. All of this great work will support the design of a community workshop, where Somersworth residents will be invited to help refine chapter goals and provide input that will drive the chapter’s direction. Stay tuned for more details.
In addition to discussing Land Use and Natural Resources on March 20th, SRPC will be presenting the final Housing Chapter for adoption by the Planning Board. The second part of our Housing work with the City is to conduct an Audit of the land use regulations and policies. Angie, Blair and Mark will guide the Planning Board through some exercises to better understand some of the findings of our audit work to-date and explore potential recommendations for updates to the ordinance that would allow more housing types, density, and price points throughout Somersworth.
