Board reaffirms prior approval for 1980 Woodbury Ave redevelopment
Summary
The Board reaffirmed its July 15, 2025 approval for Colia Enterprises to demolish and redevelop the gas station at 1980 Woodbury Avenue and approved minor revisions to lot address and setbacks; motion passed unanimously.
The Portsmouth Board of Adjustment unanimously reaffirmed on Feb. 18 its prior July 15, 2025 approval for redevelopment at 1980 Woodbury Avenue. Attorney Chris Dresser explained the project team removed a previously proposed drive‑through and adjusted the address and lot lines to correct prior abutter‑notice issues; the applicant reported an improved setback for pump islands from 34.7 feet to 37.1 feet. After a brief presentation limited to the changes, a motion to affirm the earlier decision was made and approved 7–0.
The vote re‑establishes the special exception for a 24‑hour convenience operation and related variances that had been granted previously; the applicant may proceed with any required permitting.
