The Portsmouth Zoning Board of Review approved a procedural change authorizing the zoning administrator to sign zoning board decisions on behalf of the board after a five-business-day review period for members.
Board members said the change will streamline administrative processing so staff do not need to repeatedly meet in person to obtain signatures. The motion includes a five-business-day review period during which board members can send edits; if no objections are raised the zoning administrator will finalize and sign the decision.
The motion was made and seconded and passed unanimously. The board then adjourned.
