BoardKennebunkport Growth Planning Committee Meeting
The committee reviewed draft language for a historic district overlay, specifically focusing on its purpose to maintain the visual character of the Kennebunkport Historic District and Cape Arundle Summer Colony Historic District. Discussions covered the distinction between managing development and change within these areas, the implications of overlay zoning on existing density and dimensional requirements, and how the district would function in relation to state housing requirements. Concerns were raised regarding the potential impact of such restrictions on property values and marketability.
