This resolution asserts that the responsibility for planning, zoning, and related regulations should remain with municipal governments. It references the Standard Zoning Enabling Act, originally drafted in 1924, which was designed to empower municipalities and their residents to make zoning decisions. The resolution expresses concern over recent state efforts to undermine local zoning regulations under the pretext of promoting property rights, arguing that such actions benefit a select few at the expense of the broader community.

Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms the intent of RSA 672:1, which clearly states that planning and zoning are the purview of municipalities. It emphasizes that local governments should retain the authority to implement zoning and subdivision regulations as essential tools for addressing the needs of evolving and growing communities. The resolution ultimately seeks to protect local governance in matters of planning and zoning from state interference.
