SACO – The City of Saco will host an informational session to provide an overview of the housing ordinance revisions currently under review by the City Council and Planning Board.

LD 2003 has three primary components, rooted in the state’s overall goal of increasing affordability and housing variety throughout Maine.

 These three components are:

1. The right to add dwelling unit(s) where single family homes are allowed.

2. Provisions about accessory dwelling units.

3. Affordable housing density bonuses for affordable housing developments.

On Aug. 14, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall auditorium (300 Main St.), the Planning Department will give an overview of the proposed housing ordinance revisions.

“We encourage residents to come learn more about these revisions, which are required by state law,” said Saco City Planner Emily Cole-Prescott. “We want to share information about LD 2003 so you can effectively participate in future Council or Planning Board public hearings on our local housing ordinance revisions.”

The city is offering in-person and virtual participation options for this info session:

-  Attend the meeting at Saco City Hall, 300 Main St., in the second-floor auditorium.

- Watch live at facebook.com/sacomaine.
