Manchester will hold a public hearing next week on proposed ordinance changes that city officials say would make construction of townhouse and multifamily housing easier — especially for small, neighborhood-scale buildings — and make the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) easier.
“The goal with these amendments is to continue to address the city’s crisis of housing affordability, while respecting the character of the city’s neighborhoods,” City Planner Jeff Belanger wrote in a memo to aldermen.
