STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Fifteen
AN ACT relative to defining phased development.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Subparagraph; Innovative Land Use Controls; Phased Development. Amend RSA 674:21, IV by inserting after subparagraph (b) the following new subparagraph:
(c) “Phased development” means a development, usually for large-scale projects, in which construction of public or private improvements proceeds in stages on a schedule over a period of years established in the subdivision or site plan approved by the planning board. In a phased development, the issuance of building permits in each phase is solely dependent on the completion of the prior phase and satisfaction of other conditions on the schedule approved by the planning board. Phased development does not include a general limit on the issuance of building permits or the granting of subdivision or site plan approval in the municipality, which may be accomplished only by a growth management ordinance under RSA 674:22 or a temporary moratorium or limitation under RSA 674:23.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
