Proposed Zoning – 2006

1.  State law requires local zoning to be consistent with a duly adopted local Comprehensive Plan. Casco updated its latest Comprehensive Plan in January 2004.

(There are some excepts, for example, mandatory Shoreland Zoning does not require a Comprehensive Plan.)

§         State Law

§         Comprehensive Plan

2.  Comprehensive Plans are based on a combination of state laws and rules, as well as local needs and desires. The latter were identified primarily through a series of town wide surveys, the most recent one completed in 2001.

§         State Rule Regarding Comprehensive Plans

§         Survey Results

3.  The sections of Casco’s Comprehensive Plan that give the most direct guidance to the creation of the proposed zoning are:

§         Future Land Use Plan

§         New Districts Matrix

§         Building Permit Allocation System

4.  Draft Work Documents – Caution! Subject to change!

§         Definitions

§         List of Uses

§         Dimensional Standards

§         Proposed Zoning Map (shows new districts; does not show all current districts)

5.  Draft Sections of proposed zoning ordinance – Caution! Subject to change!

§         Current Zoning Ordinance

§         Proposed draft sections of Ordinance (more will be included as they are prepared)
