Summary

Staff told the committee HB 1103 expanded 'office' to include commercial and industrial uses, requiring Hampton to update its 79‑E ordinance language and consider mapping the designated area.

Committee member Andrea Novotney told the group that the state change in HB 1103 affects local ordinance language. "Novotney explained that HB 1103 expanded the definition of 'office' to include commercial and industrial use and that Hampton must include those changes," the minutes record.

Members noted the town's 2011 warrant article had a defined area but no map; Chair Donald Bliss said he will ask the Town Manager whether CAI can be engaged to produce a map showing the designated area. The committee agreed any final ordinance language must incorporate the new statutory definition.
