We were pretty sure Rochester rejected participation in the Granite State Future ‘master plan’ boondoggle back in 2012, but now we read they will adopt mixed use zoning.
“Once the comprehensive rezoning plan is approved by the City Council, it will replace Chapter 42, the zoning chapter, of the city’s ordinances. The document is a comprehensive revision of the city’s zones, including their locations, definitions, and permitted uses.
One of the new zones included in the document is the neighborhood mixed use zone, which allows for small-sized businesses to be located in the same area as residential homes. Currently, a portion of North Main Street is one of the areas proposed to be neighborhood mixed use.”
