Portland vote on waterfront plan delayed till June
The developer that plans to transform a 10-acre site in Portland into a mixed-use development now has to wait until June to find out if a zoning change will be approved.
The Portland Press Herald reported that the Portland City Council was originally scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on a controversial zoning change that would allow taller buildings and a broader range of uses at the Portland Co. complex at 58 Fore St. However, city officials decided to postpone the meeting after learning that the state certification had expired for the city’s comprehensive plan, which is used to provide the city with direction on zoning decisions.
Jim Brady of the development group CBP2 said in a written statement that while the delay is disappointing, “we support the desire of the city to make sure that when a zoning ordinance is amended, that it is done so in accordance with a properly certified comprehensive plan.”
