Land Use Regulations & Zoning
How can we best handle the growing demand for housing? How can we preserve our historic village center? How can we maintain open spaces and viewsheds? How can we best inventory the resources we have and wish to preserve?
These are questions PDI has answered for scores of towns in Maine and New Hampshire. Zoning updates, contract zoning, density trade-off's, development negotiations, historic preservation issues. These are all topics PDI has addressed for many towns.
Examples of recent plans include the Cape Elizabeth Zoning Ordinance and the Brunswick Zoning Ordinance and the development patterns of Maine's unorganized territories.
