Madbury Planning Board Sets Public Hearing for Multifamily Regulations and Flood Hazard Corrections
On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 7:00 pm, the Madbury Planning Board will convene a public hearing at the Madbury Town Hall, located at 13 Town Hall Road, as reported in the official public notice for Madbury, NH.
The first major item involves proposed multifamily housing regulations. Town officials will consider amended planning board rules governing site plan review and subdivision standards for multifamily structures. These updates primarily reshape how the town handles multi-family developments on light industrial and commercially zoned parcels, following the ordinance revision passed earlier in March 2026.
Updating Flood Hazard Overlay District Zoning Text
The second item on the docket addresses a proposed zoning ordinance amendment for Article XXI, which covers the Flood Hazard Area Overlay District. This administrative cleanup includes correcting internal cross-references, fixing list enumerations, and updating administrative text to ensure clarity for property owners and developers alike.

Questions regarding the proceedings can be directed to Town Hall at 603-742-5131, or by emailing the Planning Board directly at MadPlanBoard@gmail.com.
