NH HB1327

Redefines "commercially zoned land" as land located in a zoning district that permits commercial uses as defined in local ordinances, replacing the previous definition of land zoned for retail and office space

Updates the definition of "mixed-use" development to require that the combined residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or entertainment uses be shown on a subdivision or site plan approved by the planning board

Removes the broader term "development area" from the mixed-use definition, narrowing it to a single building or development with planning board approval
