AN ACT relative to applicability of local zoning ordinances.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Erection of Buildings on Streets; Applicability. Amend RSA 674:41, III to read as follows:

III. [This section shall supersede any less stringent local ordinance, code or regulation, and] No existing lot or tract of land shall be exempted from the provisions of this section except in accordance with the procedures expressly set forth in this section. For purposes of paragraph I, "the street giving access to the lot'' means a street or way abutting the lot and upon which the lot has frontage. It does not include a street from which the sole access to the lot is via a private easement or right-of-way, unless such easement or right-of-way also meets the criteria set forth in subparagraphs I(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e).

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
