LD 2003 - Housing

(2022)

An Act To Implement the Recommendations of the Commission To Increase Housing Opportunities in Maine by Studying Zoning and Land Use Restrictions

What is the bill?

Maine faces a crisis in the lack of available homes for working people. For union members and their families, the housing crisis is causing staffing shortages, increasingly long commutes, and lack of space for growing families. LD 2003 eliminates all single-family zoning restrictions, allows accessory dwelling units in all zoning districts, provides support for communities to increase affordable housing and reduces regulatory barriers to multi-family housing development.
