Balsams Resort Project Takes Another Step Forward
(Dixville, NH) - Coos County Commissioners and the County Legislative Delegation have approved three zoning amendments that are essential to the proposed redevelopment of the Balsams Resort.
The first approved zoning amendment creates a new Resort District in the area of the former Balsams Resort and surrounding recreation areas, and encourages further patterns of compatible development.
The second removes “Planned Development” as a type of Subdistrict requiring County Commissioner and County Delegation approval for a zoning change, and creates instead a process whereby the Planning Board can issue a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Developments.
The third amendment contains numerous changes to clarify existing wording and requirements, to remove inconsistencies from the Ordinance, and to update the Ordinance relative to changes in state law. Full text of each can be found here.
The Coos County Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the Balsams’ proposed development at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at Colebrook’s Tillotson Center.
