Chapter 17 - Reestablishment of Commission Jurisdiction Highland Plantation
Division / Program: Land Use Planning - LUPC_Comment
Date: June 4, 2025 - July 7, 2025
Event Type: Public Comment
The Maine Land Use Planning Commission is proposing rules to reestablish land use regulatory authority in Highland Plantation. On April 26, 2025, at an annual meeting of the plantation, Highland Plantation voted to repeal its comprehensive plan and land use ordinance. Pursuant to 12 M.R.S. 685-A(4-A)(B)(1), the Maine Land Use Planning Commission is required to reestablish its jurisdiction (land use regulatory authority and responsibility) over Highland Plantation. In order to provide time to prepare and seek community feedback on an updated Land Use Guidance Map for Highland Plantation, this rulemaking also proposes to adopt the Land Use Guidance Map for Highland Plantation that was in effect prior to the 2016 transfer of authority. This rulemaking also includes other clerical edits, including but not limited to revision of the rule title, updating of statutory citations, and minor rule format changes.

Public Comment for Chapter 2 and 10: Miscellaneous Revisions
Division / Program: Land Use Planning - LUPC_Comment
Date: July 2, 2025 - August 11, 2025
Event Type: Public Comment
The Maine Land Use Planning Commission is proposing miscellaneous revisions to Chapter 2 and Chapter 10. The proposed revisions include replacing an existing definition of "campsite" with minor campground in Chapter 2 to align with recent statutory changes, and creation of a new definition of campsite to maintain continuity with the Commission's other existing rules. The proposed revisions would also change the deadline for filing a development permit following establishment of a Planned Development (D-PD) or Planned Recreational Facility Development (D-PR) subdistrict from 18 months to 5 years to allow for better planning outcomes. Three documents incorporated by reference would be updated to more recent available versions, and the rule changes would clarify how the public can access these documents. Other proposed changes would improve rule alignment with other recent changes to the LUPC statute and rules, and would improve formatting, consistency, clarity, and readability. All proposed revisions are routine in nature.
