II PURPOSE
The intent of these Site Plan Review Regulations is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; to ensure the adequacy of traffic access, circulation, and parking; to ensure the provision of adequate buffers, landscaping and screening to protect adjoining properties against the possible detrimental or offensive uses on the site, including but not limited to unsightly or obnoxious appearance, smoke and noise; and to protect against adverse environmental impacts from a proposed development, including inadequate sewage disposal, refuse and other waste and/or inadequate surface drainage.
These regulations recognize that certain developments and uses of land, even though generally suitable for location in a particular zoning district, because of their complexity, size or possible impact, may adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare unless careful consideration has been given to certain critical design elements. It is the intent of these regulations to provide a vehicle for the review of an applicant’s attention to such critical design elements within the development subject to site plan review, and to allow the Holderness Planning Board to approve or disapprove applications pursuant to these regulations.
