Regional Environmental Planning Program (REPP)
Innovative Land Use Planning Techniques Guide


To address the need for guidance and technical assistance on Innovative Land Use Controls authorized by RSA 674:21, the New Hampshire Regional Environmental Planning Program (REPP) is producing a guide with model ordinances and regulations on a number of innovative land use techniques.

The Regional Environmental Planning Program was created within the Department of Environmental Services in recognition of the value of regional planning commissions in addressing environmental issues in New Hampshire. The ILU Guide has been created as a result of this partnership. Outreach and implementation for the model ordinances and regulations is the next phase of REPP. Download a flip book (pdf) inteneded to serve as an introduction to the ILU Guide.

The list below is a complete list of topics to be addressed in the guide. Links are provided for chapters in final draft form for use in New Hampshire, also available on the REPP website. Please note that chapter layout and graphics may not be complete.
