THE MORE YOU KNOW…What does [Staff Recommendation] mean?
When you review the official Agenda for a Planning Board Business Meeting, you will notice the following note next to some of the cases: [Staff Recommendation] – what does this mean?? In Manchester, the Planning and Community Development team reviews all projects before it is presented to the Planning Board. As part of this review, the planner provides notes to call out areas of concern. At the time of the Business Meeting, these notes are updated to reflect discussion during the public hearing and ‘Conditions of Approval’ are added as an addendum. Upon project approval, these conditions will be applied to the project and will be available in the public record.
