Hi Mike,

Is the planning board only claiming near arbitrarily authority, to 
determine at its whim what’s acceptable to it at the moment, for non-
residential and multi-family housing comprising 3 or more units?

If not, then what’s the intent/purpose if the following claim of authority:
Article 1. Authority 
Pursuant to the authority vested in the Durham Planning Board, by the 
legislative body of the Town of Durham, in accordance with previously 
adopted subdivision regulations under RSA 674:36, the Durham 
Planning Board is empowered under RSA 674:43 to review and approve 
or disapprove site plans. This review authority shall be applied to the 
development of parcels of tracts for non-residential uses and for 
residential multi-family dwelling units which are defined as any 
structure containing more than two (2) dwelling units per structure, 
whether or not such development includes a subdivision or re-
subdivision of a site.
