Zoning updates to comply with state housing laws (LD 1829, 427, 997)
Bangor
Summary
Bangor is rewriting parts of its zoning code because new state laws require it. The changes allow more housing in urban neighborhoods, more in-law apartments, easier parking rules, and no more planning board review for 3-4 unit buildings. A second round covering rural and transitional zones is coming.
