GOV Zoning Board 11 10 2026

The Nashua Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting on November 10, 2026, considered and approved two variance applications. At 5 Morgan Street, the board approved variances for minimum lot area and more than one principal structure on a lot, allowing an existing garage to be converted into a single-family dwelling. At 429–431 Amherst Street, it approved a variance reducing the required distance between a drive-through lane and a residential zoning district from 30 feet to 10.6 feet, enabling redevelopment of a vacant commercial building for a quick-service restaurant. Members discussed neighborhood compatibility, site elevation and buffers, traffic circulation, and parking concerns.

The board approved the prior meeting’s minutes and reviewed draft bylaw amendments concerning notice and timing for postponement or continuance requests; members supported placing the amendments on the next meeting agenda for an adoption vote. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
