Stratham, New Hampshire (2000)
Topics: Zoning Regulations
Eschewing any high-minded language about preserving the integrity of the village or the community, Stratham simply inserted in its zoning Table of Dimensional Requirements (page 30), under the category of General Commercial, the figure of 80,000 square-foot as the maximum building imprint. Subtle and without fanfare, this town put the right number in the right place, effectively keeping behemoth-mart from coming to their town.
