Development of Regional Impact
Development of regional impact, commonly referred to as DRI, means any proposal before a local land use board which in the determination of such local land use board could reasonably be expected to have an impact on a neighboring municipality, because of factors such as, but not limited to, the following:
- Relative size or number of dwelling units as compared with existing stock
- Proximity to the borders of a neighboring community
- Transportation networks
- Anticipated emissions such as light, noise, smoke, odors, or particles
- Proximity to aquifers or surface waters which transcend municipal boundaries
- Shared facilities such as schools and solid waste disposal facilities
SRPC approaches this process by using a committee, called the Regional Impact Committee to review staff comments and discuss the proposals during a public meeting set in a timely manner that fits within the limited time allotted for these reviews in accordance with RSA 36. Senior Planner Lisa Murphy heads the Regional Impact Committee for SRPC. We are fortunate to have the following members of our region to serve in this capacity: Mark Richardson, Katrin Kasper, Don Hamann, Steve Diamond, and Tom Crosby.
