Planning

One of the primary duties of Planning Staff is advising the Planning Board in the reviewing and approval of development projects, as well as working with development applicants. The vast majority of development projects are reviewed under the Site Plan Review or Subdivision Review Ordinances. In addition, Planning staff conduct other short and long-range planning studies and initiatives that may pertain to other topics such as transportation, open space and natural resource conservation, affordable housing, and infrastructure planning.

2024 PLANNING BOARD DEVELOPMENT CALENDAR  

The Planning Board will be moving to a once per month meeting schedule beginning January 2024.  The Planning Board meetings will be held on the third Monday of each month, unless otherwise stated.  Moving to once per month instead of a rolling three-week cycle will provide staff and applicants additional time needed to hold a Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting to go over review comments together before they are forwarded to the Planning Board.  

Property Files Access

The Planning & Code Enforcement has transitioned to an electronic filing system for property files.  Please email us at submittals@scarboroughmaine.org or call (207) 730-4040 for access to property files.  Files will be made available within 48 hours of the request.
