West End Character-Based Zoning Part 3: Building Footprints - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

West End Character-Based Zoning Part 3: Building Footprints Portsmouth Planning Board March 17, 2016 Developed by the Portsmouth Planning Department

3 Key Issues with Existing Building Footprint Requirements: 1. Definition of Buildings Separated by Fire Walls 2. Inconsistency with Vision Plans 3. Inconsistency with Existing Building Footprints
