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.
