Explanation:
This proposed amendment may be presented as a requirement to meet state law (HB577, signed into law in 2025) on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). However, it combines changes to the Determination of Density for Condominiums section (which is not required under state law) and applies critical density requirements to single and two-family homes only. The proposed language exempts the most

Explanation:
This proposed amendment brings zoning ordinance in compliance with recent changes to state statute. House Bill 577 (amending RSA 674:71-73) mandates that municipalities allow at least one ADU (either attached or detached) on any lot that permits a single-family dwelling.

Explanation:

YES vote: Would begin a formal process to consider switching the Hollis–Brookline Cooperative School District from its current in-person annual meeting format to a system where all warrant articles are decided by official ballot voting on election day, as permitted under RSA 197:5-b (“Budgetary Official Ballot”). This is the only type of charter available to school districts. Moving to all-day ballot voting would significantly increase the number of voters participating in district decisions.
If the article passes, a nine-member commission (five from Hollis and four from Brookline) would be elected in a special election. Over the following year, the commission would study whether adopting a charter is appropriate, gather public input, and review examples from other districts that use this system, such as the Kearsarge Regional School District. If the commission drafts a charter, it would undergo state review and then appear on the March 9, 2027 ballot, where it would require 60% voter approval to take effect.
The purpose of this process is to determine whether official ballot voting—rather than a lengthy, in-person annual meeting—would better serve district voters.
