Guidance for LD2003 Implementation
The Department of Economic and Community Development has made guidance available to help communities understand how LD 2003 affects local zoning and land use codes, as well as what steps they can take if they wish to tailor their ordinances to avoid conflicts with state laws. While it is not legally binding or intended to serve as a substitute for the language of LD 2003 or the rules that will be adopted under the law, this guidance represents the interpretation of LD 2003 and its requirements by the state agencies that are responsible for its implementation. This guidance is the result of a collaborative effort by the Department, the Governor’s Office of Innovation and the Future, the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, legislative staff, and several municipal lawyers and community planners.
